    Race through scenic countryside while sticking to the varied timetable, this is Leeds to York and Selby. (please tell me in the replies a better route name than this and I'll edit the thread)

    Hello, today I will be suggesting the route from Leeds to York with a branch to Selby and sherburn-in-elmet which connects the 2 branches to add extra services. This route is located in West and North Yorkshire and is 36 miles long. (Leeds to York-25 miles, Micklefield (where the line splits) to Selby-11 miles). The route will be based in present day, it's coming up onto 2023 so the timetable I will show could be outdated if the timetable changes next year. Top speed is 100mph which is achieved between Church Fenton and the approach to York. Also, the ecml is in this route :)

    Why not include the line through Sherburn-in-Elmet towards Selby that way as well, overall, great suggestion there, I see some inspiration has been used by the good ol' route/loco suggestions by the one and only me, nice to see that, yeah, good route choice too :)

    It would make sense because you can make Northern's York-Hull services drivable instead of them being AI only services, which would be pointless in my opinion but I agree with you here ;)

    Though I'd love to see an 80s timetable as like an extension of NTP. Maybe not quite merged but at least have services that continue on the other route

    Excellent idea time to bring this part of the United Kingdom into the game
    These services are the Calder Valley Line trips over the Pennines.
