    This route would be around 40 miles long, with the majority of it having already been covered in Tees Valley, but this time it would be set in the modern day

    I am aware of this, I suggested Abellio as part of a backdated DLC which would include an FTPE 185

    This would be of historic interest covering as it does the route of the original Stockton and Darlington Railway main line- the first modern railway in the world (never mind what a few people in Manchester would have you believe).

    The original tvl could be used as a base and work like diesel legends as it has changed very little for 1989

    What you can do is give class 156 present day and 1980s paint for Tees Valley Line. 1989 Paint is the same as Class 150 West Cornwall local which was British Railways Regional. Present Day Northern Rail ability to layer to other Northern rail routes including leeds-bradford Summit tunnel Manchester Victoria Calder Valley Line. If TVL Present Day is owned

    Without any offence or anything, but, when you write these posts could you make it, less of a information flood. It's not the most readable thing (especially for non-english speaking members who we share the forums with), just a thought.

    For example, this post could be something like:

    What you can do is give the Class 156 Modern (Northern) and Regional Railways (1989, the same livery as West Cornwall Local). The Northern Rail livery could be used on routes, for example; ×, or Layer if this [The TVL Modern route] is owned.

    I just say this because the posts feel kind of like I'm reading some government factsheet, as opposed to a (sometimes rather informative) forum post.

    OK Then because I was being formal when I write the forums.

    I do appreciate that, however my example could also be formal and readable for everyone, not just native speakers of English.

    Whilst you might think you're being formal by including all the extra details, the lack of punctuation and relatively poor grammar makes it hard to read, especially for those not familiar with the topic.

    For instance from this thread, "Present Day Northern Rail ability to layer to other Northern rail routes including leeds-bradford Summit tunnel Manchester Victoria Calder Valley Line". Is that one route? Three routes? Four routes? You also have a tendency whenever you mention a route/line to attach seemingly random stations to it (even for routes in-game and thus already explicitly defined), along with other barely relevant information like the type of coupler or the voltage of the overhead lines.

    Not to mention Calder Valley is not, to my knowledge, on any roadmap official or otherwise of future routes for TSW.
