    I would finally love to see my local line in the game so I am suggesting an Extension of WCML Birmingham to Crewe between Stafford and Crewe via Stoke-on-Trent.
    The extension would be a total of around 25 miles long and would add an additional 7 stations to the route
    Additional Stations:
    Stone
    Barlaston (Abandoned)
    Wedgwood (Abandoned)
    Stoke-on-Trent
    Longport
    Kidsgrove
    Alsager
    This would allow an extension of drivable XC 220 services to Stoke-on-Trent and drive the entire LNWR Stafford to Crewe via SOT shuttle service plus Avanti West Coast runs 2 services per day from London Euston to Crewe via Birmingham and SOT so we would be able to drive those services all the way to Crewe instead of ending At Stafford
    Finally it will allow the Class 158 to have a use for the route drivable between Stoke-on-Trent and Crewe

    I would love that too.
    But you're right, it would be better suited as an expansion rather than as a standalone DLC.
