The line from Liverpool Lime St to Manchester Piccadilly is 31 1/2 miles long, and is most well known as the first InterCity railway in the world. Now, 31 miles for a route is not very long, and would make this one of the shortest routes for the game, therefore I also propose that the route includes the Ordsall Chord to Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Airport and Stockport as well as the depots at Newton Heath and Ardwick. This would bring the route mileage up to 49 miles, and also add an extra variety of possible DLC's Proposed Rolling Stock Class 323 in Northern Trains livery Operate Liverpool Lime Street - Crewe via Manchester Airport, Manchester Piccadilly to Stoke-On-Trent as well as services that run off the map at Piccadilly and Lime Street. Class 331 in Northern Trains livery Operate services to Manchester Airport Class 68 in TransPennine Express livery + Mk5's Operate Liverpool Lime Street to Scarborough services. Possible DLC's 'TransPennine Express Pack' with Class 185 + Class 802 'Northern Trains Pack' with Class 150/1, Class 158 & Class 195
The Destination on the Outbound services is going to be Leeds City Station via Calder Valley Line. Playing towards Liverpool Lime Street the destination sign must be Liverpool. Class 150/1 new build and also Northern Rail has Class 150/2s in service. Depot Is Newton Heath.
They already said about Newton heath and the rolling stock and where they go next is not really needed asking is it doesn't make the services hard to make its alright
Nice suggestion would be a nice way to introduce northern and tpe The 68 would and 331 exited me the most
Would be good to make it in BR Blue era as current NTP does, so trains in it would be Class 20 in BR Blue livery, and Class 50 also in BR Blue livery + layers from NTP so route will be like a extension for NTP.
The route, class 185, and mk5s for TPE are available over at ATS while the class 158, class 150/1, class 80X and class 68 are available from AP but sadly the class 331 and class 195 has not yet been recreated in the simulator. Hope this helped P.S The folks over at Alan Thomson Sim may make a CAF civity pack which would include the 331s and 195s.

the 802 should be base dlc, to make it easier to layer into GWE and for future ecml/gwml/wcml services
