    As of my last suggestion I'm going to list the main points as not to bore you with an essay. This is the THIRD irish route I've suggested. WE NEED IRELAND. I've crested some CONCEPT ART above

    Great Northern Main Line: Belfast - Drogheda.

    • 80.3mi (128.8km)
    • Belfast-Portadown/Newry services
    • All new Belfast Grand Central Station
    • Northern Irish Railways class 3000 DMU
    • Class 201 LOCO with Enterprise Coaches and DVT
    • Express and Commuter services
    • Cross Border with UK and Ireland.
    • No tough Dublin City to design
    • Lovely Countryside
    • Lengthy but realistic route.
    • Would spark a lot of interest in the Irish TSW Community
    I have provided Images below of the named trains respectively.

    Ben love that Idea mate and the Graphic you have made is stunning! 100% would love this! Always been interested in the Irish Railway, something that is rarely talked about! I assume you're a local?

    Interestingly, not to this part of the line. Though I am on the Belfast line. I've done the same graphics and stuff for 2 other routes. Thank you so much for your compliment. I really appreciate it and hope DTG take notice

    I'd love to see some Enterprise stock added to TSW, or just any Irish content in general. The old MakingTracks MSTS content isn't quite cutting it like it used to, and is for sure looking its age lol.

    Keep up the Irish suggestions! Hopefully DTG take notice!

    From what I can see the easy part is the United Kingdom side but not the Republic of Ireland side because they would need to know how CAWS works. NIR uses AWS TPWS DSD United Kingdom train Protection Systems

    I'm sure they can figure it out like they have recently done for the Netherlands

    I'd like to see some irish content. You could possibly whack a 22000 class DLC on for this too, considering they seem to sometimes sub in on the enterprise, as well as for some AI traffic.
