My local route, I travel on it almost daily. Would Purchase this day 1. Would be better if it went all the way to Birmingham International.
I found this while looking back at my old suggestions, and honestly, this route makes more sense now, considering Trent valley and Birmingham Crewe exists this route would be perfect for linking those two routes up.
Agreed it should extend to Birmingham International, but is seperate to the map guide above, besides opens up a lot of services to over rule the section, West Midlands Railway / London North Western Railway, Avanti West Cost, Transport for Wales, (a would be - Caledonian sleeper) etc etc May come in the Birmingham to WCML unsure where when it Trent Valley line has same kind of section to Junction, unless incorpareted into Northampton loop route. Sure you'll know more than me.
That orange livery is so unusual, I like it. It’s scary to think that the horrible GBR livery could replace this someday.
