Another Brilliant route to have in TSW 2, St Pancras to Bedford, a nice little Crounty side route from after the main London city with trains like the Voyager can be used for the route along from Pancras to Bedford, as we have Southeastern High Speed we can have Southeastern AI at the platforms. And many other trains to be used from St Pancras to Bedford. This would be nice to have in Train Sim World 2.
The Midland Mainline from St Pancras to Bedford possibly... But I'd love to see it set in the 1970s when Diesels reigned supreme. Personally as a Leicester lad I'd love to see Leicester-Nottingham-Derby triangle also set in the 1980s, Loco hauled trains, HSTs, DMUs, Freight trains with MGR wagons. 20s, 31s,45s,47s galore with the 101 added. Also it's not Voyagers on the route but class 222 "Meridians"
I would love to hve it in the seventies and be able to hear the peaks at full speed and HSTs with valenta engines.
The HSTs didn't arrive on the Midland Mainline until the early 80s, 82 I believe so could be set then.
Absolutely. This would give a great racetrack for the Class 45, best diesel loco in the game. Depending on exact date you could have the unique Class 127 Rolls Royce engine DMU's on the locals or the transition to the Class 317 electric era.
A unique feature of Class 127 DMU is that you can combine it with TVL GWML London Paddington to reading diesel Legends and Huddersfield Line Northern Trans-Pennine Class 101 DMU mechanical transmission. Remember to change gear otherwise Service failure your train caught on fire. Reason for this is that you forgot to operate the gear change mechanism on Class 127.
I believe the 127’s had automatic transmission, similar to the Marylebone 115’s. There’s a rendition of the 127 in Diesel Railcar Sim, so I might check that later to confirm.
Yeah I'm still annoyed that the East Midlands and the North has lost a direct connection to the Bedford and Luton Airport.
