    A route that has received a lot of suggestions in the past but this is a revitalised and updated suggestion to reflect the recent changes to the route.

    The Route:
    This is in effect 4 different lines each with different service patterns.
    Leeds to Ilkley - 2 tph
    Leeds to Skipton - 3 tph
    Leeds to Bradford Forster Square - 2 tph plus 1 LNER service every 2 hours
    Bradford Forster Square to Ilkley - 1 tph
    Bradford Forster Square to Skipton - 1 tph

    Stations:
    11 Stations

    Trains:
    New:
    Class 333 Northern
    Class 331 Northern
    Reused:
    Class 801 LNER
    Class 158 Northern

    This route offers a range of express, semi express and commuter options for.players with frequent service.
    The trains cancelled also be used for AI at Leeds with 158 for services to Sheffield, York, Hull, Manchester, Wigan, Knottingley. 331 and 333 for Doncaster. 801 for LNER to London. Class 220 XC services to Edinburgh, Bristol, Plymouth, Cardiff, Penzance and Aberdeen. This will allow for a vibrant terminal station. Other older stock like the 101 can be used at the Worth Valley Railway.

    Let me know your thoughts and any other things I could add to this suggestion.

    Maybe something more to add at Leeds. If we date it back around 2019 around the big refurbish of northern, I believe EMT would of still runned to Leeds. Obviously they don't now but yes. We can get some 170s for Harrogate, always change the livery on them. And many other things. Could redesign the 802 into TPE if DTG get the license. That unlocks many routes also adding the 185. There's so much you can do just at Leeds. If DTG make a route with Bradford interchange they can do route hopping from Forster SQ to interchange. Only a 10 min walk.

    We need an update to Northern Transpennine to make it modern day then we can enjoy the 185.

    Nah, the whole appeal of that route is that it isn't modern day.
