Route Liverpool - Manchester Via Chat Moss

The L & M railway is a very historic and important line that deserves a place in TSW. 2 iconic cities across the world's first intercity railway!
Route length: 34.5 miles
Stations: 19
Major calling points: Manchester Pic & Vic, Rainhill, Liverpool Lime Street
Trains: Class 319/ 769, 323, 66
Layers: Rail tours
Future Content: TPE Class, 802, 185, NT Class 195, 331

Points of interest: Manchester Liverpool road station on approach to Manchester (oldest railway station in the world) Chat Moss (wetlands), Sanky viaduct, Rainhill (site of the Rainhill trials), Olive Mount cutting, Liverpool Lime Street (world's first grand terminus station opening in 1836).

The Class 769 should come to TSW not only because it would be the second bi-mode train in TSW, but it also has history as the Class 319 that worked on the Thameslink route. This train could also be used in many other parts of the country such as the Southwest and Wales.

 

Interesting and good suggestion... albeit no 802 or 185 seems a little peculiar?

 

Awesome idea when are you making it

 

I have no PC. If I had one powerful enough to handle the editor I might attempt it. If I could make it myself i wouldn't suggest it here.

 

They're both with TPE; given that we already have a Northern license I think it would be easier to do it with them first.

 

Given this is basically the TPE route it would be incredibly weird hot to include Atleast an 802

 

I Like this idea, I am local to Liverpool and would love to see this

 

Personally I would include the 195/331 over the 769 as they’re more attractive looking imo.

 

Yes, I though I was forgetting something. I’ll add them in.

 

we can have tpe since it's owned by the dtf now like northern

 

Looks like you are trying to re-make a TSC route made by ATS Liverpool to Manchester Line via Chat Moss,
The first video is PTG Rail Guide for Hudless Chat Moss Run

2nd Video is from ATS themselves

 

True, so tpe isn't completely off the table then

 

Yeah, it's a great route, the tsc version is how I’d like it in tsw

 

I agree with you and on the Roadmap it might be the ATS route mentioned alongside the other well known ATS route Fen Line

 

I would like to see the 802, mainly just for the TPE livery and interior. The 185 would be nice as well, as another DMU. Doesn't feel like there are many British ones.

 

they just aren't a lot of british DMUs in tsw which is sad really. We deffo need a 185.

 

I quite like this suggestion! It would be good to get some TPE locos in the game.
