    The 333 needs to come with the route. The 331 would be better off as a DLC.

    I like the sound of this and the little extension of the already often suggested Airedale and wharfedale lines will make Leeds feel more alive by letting you take charge of loads of the trains that you see.

    The class 331 and 195 could be released as a joint DLC as there practically the same visually just power train is different.

    I think the Airedale wharefedale line should just come as a separate route, I think Doncaster can be used in a better way.
