The Chase Line is 32 miles long, and features 17 stations along its length. It also shares track with the Cross City between Birmingham New Street and Aston and has a variety of freight action due to the vast yards at Bescot Proposed Rolling Stock Class 153 & Class 170 in London Midland livery During 2015, the 153s and 170s were the main workhorses on this line, providing the mostly hourly service to Rugeley, with this increasing to half hourly during peak times. They would also provide AI traffic at Birmingham New Street for services to Hereford & Shrewsbury. Class 323 in London Midland livery The Class 323s were the main traction on local services around Birmingham from the 1990s through to 2024, with them appearing on Cross City services as well as services to Wolverhampton and Walsall (the limit of electrification at this time). They would also do depot runs from Soho to/from Birmingham New Street. Class 60 in DB Schenker livery The Class 60s would be drivable between Soho and Walsall on steel workings from Wolverhampton, as well as static locos in the yard at Bescot alongside 08s. The fleet of 100 locos are capable of 60mph.

Is the class 70 having a modern coal wagon included with it? Or are you wanting to utilise the coal wagons from the Crewe-Preston route? Not being negative just a question. Though, what GWR Class 387? There's a kind of reskinned 387 from BML in GWR but it's unbranded that already exists, but what would it be used for? Am I just reading this wrong because I'm confused. The other rolling stock you've suggested is perfectly fine, though I'll be amazed if we get another route that features Birmingham New Street
It was mentioned on a roadmap stream, not article that Liam was working on a GWR 387 pack that also includes the coal wagons that'd be used on the Rugeley trains, as they were also used to drag 387s from Derby to Reading
