    The Wherry Lines are railway branch lines in the East of England, linking Norwich to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. There are 14 stations including the three termini. They form part of Network Rail Strategic Route 7, SRS 07.11 and are classified as a rural line. The lines pass through the Broads of Norfolk and Suffolk.

    The rolling stock

    The British Rail Class 156 Super Sprinter is a diesel multiple-unit passenger train. A total of 114 sets were built between 1987 and 1989 for British Rail by Metro-Cammell's Washwood Heath works. They were built to replace elderly first-generation DMUs and locomotive-hauled passenger trains

    These will run 67 services along the route

    The British Rail Class 755 is a class of bi-mode multiple unit train built by Stadler Rail for Greater Anglia. Part of the FLIRT modular train family, the trains first entered service on 29 July 2019 and are used on regional and local services

    these will run the same amount as services as the class 156

    The British Rail Class 37 is a diesel-electric locomotive. Also known as the English Electric Type 3, the class was ordered as part of the British Rail modernisation plan. They were numbered in two series, D6600-D6608 and D6700-D6999

    these will run 13 services across the route

    Note that the 755’s never ran in unison with the 37’s. If you wanted the most variety, I would choose the 37 + mk. 2 coach stock, 156 and 170. For an add on dlc the 153 would be a good candidate

    Definitely a must have route personally have a lot of experience with all sprinters but particularly class 156/158 so am in favour of anything that’s gets authentic sprinters on tsw2

    It would be interesting if for no other reason than it would allow a comparison against the AP TSxxxx version which is excellent. While I would expect the TSW version to be visually better the margin of improvement might not be as big as people expect!

    We need this route, as someone who travels on Greater Anglia as their local operator, and went on the super sprinters most of his childhood, this is an absolute must for me

    The current TSW2 LOD settings wouldn’t do Berney Arms any justice but a good idea for a simple straight forward route.

    What kind of things would you propose for scenarios?

    I like this. I would buy this too, sounds like a nice, modern British route.
