    In no particular order:
    East Coast Mainline- London Kings Cross to Peterborough/Leeds/York/Newcastle/Edinburgh. Traction: Class 91/HST/800/700

    West Coast Mainline- London Euston to Birmingham/Manchester/Preston/Glasgow. Traction: Class 390/221/350. Depending on era, could have Class 86/87/90/47/57/HST

    South Western Mainline- London Waterloo to Basingstoke/Portsmouth/Southampton/Bournemouth. Traction: 444/450/458/455/442/158

    (Obviously don’t expect to see the entire routes or traction but I’d like to see any part of it)

    Would love to see extension to the GWML too- perhaps Bristol Temple Meads

    My local line would have made a great route before all the goods yards were closed, the track layouts were rationalised and the stations replaced by bus shelters. I'm talking about the Oldham Loop, Manchester Victoria to Rochdale, Oldham and back to Manchester Victoria. So, to be of any interest, it would have to be set in the 1960s or 50s. By the 1980s it was just a couple of Pacers going to and fro, no goods traffic, nothing loco hauled at all. Now it's a tramway. That's progress for you.

    1 - anything Italian.
    2 - anything French traditional (not high speed).
    3 - any route featuring Thameslink and/or other parts of Southeastern's rail network.
    4 - anything British modern electric (hopefully featuring different trains - like the Desiros)
    5 - anything Swiss or Austrian (ÖBB or SBB CFF FFS).
    6 - anything Spanish High Speed.

    A modern take on NTP with TPE 68’s and 185’s.

    A loco DLC later on with a 142, maybe switch the 142 and the 185 around so that the 185 could sub for the 68 and the 142 brings stopper services with the initial DLC.

    Away from the bias now...

    I would also like to see from: Sydney or Melbourne, Australia
    Netherlands: RandstadRail or something with the VIRM.
    Poland
    Belgium
    Cross City Line
    A route in the French Alps
    And other things, wayyyyy too many to list here!

    1 Some historical American passenger route before the highways came. There are thousands of abandoned train stations in the USA in every little town (including my home town) some were preserved, some are just closed up, some are just junk. But you can see where the trains used to run through and pick up passengers. Most of the train track routes are now bicycle routes, gravel paths.. or hidden under highways.
    2 Something in Romania, or eastern Europe.

    Since there are a lot of UK routes already, I prefer a Dutch route.
