    I think it would be a very good addition to the game.

    Why? Care to detail how this route addition would improve on what we currently have?

    I think that the East Midlands Railway (EMR) and Midland Mainline would be a very good addition to the game. For example routes like Sheffield to Leicester which include stops at Chesterfield, Derby, Long Eaton, East Midlands Parkway and Loughborough. I also think that the routes like Nottingham to Skegness, Liverpool to Norwich and London Saint Pancras to Sheffield would also be great routes for this add-on. I reckon that many people/players of the game (Train Sim World 3) would enjoy enjoy this add-on and would happily pay for it. It would also make players like me from The East Midlands of the UK be able to fully relate to the game and would have a connection that they would not have in any other game.

    One can only assume that the vast majority of the TSW players are *not* from the East Midlands of the UK. To us, this route might be looking a lot like the existing TSW routes (SEHS, BML, GWE, ECW), probably using the same rolling stock, so it would be not much of an addition to the game. I'm not saying this is all true, I have no clue what companies are operating these lines, with what stock, and you haven't offered any such information.

    OP's like this are exactly why this section of the board should be submitted to a pro forma and moderator approved... ;)

    If the mml would be to put in tsw, I would probably want the Sheffield-derby and Nottingham section of it. It's around 40-50 miles and the stations include: Sheffield, Dronfield, Chesterfield, Alfreton, Langley mill, Ilkeston, Nottingham. (on the Derby branch) Belper, Duffield and Derby.

    suggestions should not be moderator approved, let people make suggestions as they want. At the end of the day it's a suggestion page not a dissertation. There should be a pinned thread on how to properly write suggestions. But they should not be mod approved, that ruins the point of suggestions

    i'd probably do london to kettering with the 360s, 700s, 222s and 180s that's the fastest part of the route

    well seeing as though dtg can do longer routes now 116 miles as far as we know it could be possible to get the full route (Branches not included) with 700,360,222,180 and 810 if the route comes out after it enters service

    True, but I think the 116 mile kassel-Wurzburg was a one off (and the other long tsw3 core routes) seeing as the next few dlcs have been a lot shorter

    well they said that with tsw3 they could now do longer routes so I hope there is a big project going on in the background while all the smaller DLC'S release

    Only thing is DTG need to get a grip on audio class 150/2 still sounds and performs nothing like a sprinter should this should be addressed before even contemplating class 158

    The bad class 150 sounds were made by rivet games, but still the sprinter sounds need to be improved

    The Class 150/2 sounds were from Armstrong Powerhouse here's the quote about it.
    To solve the Issue DTG needs to make a MML route that has the class 150/2 then properly implement the AP Class 150/2 sounds.
