Why do I want this route: This route is local to me so like most TSW2 players this is a route/reigion I wish would make it into the game. As a young child I spent a couple of days out with my grandparents travelling up to Beverley on a class153 with my grandparents and it is one of my earliest railway memories. The entrance to Hull Paragon Interchange, in my opinion, has some sites to see including the MKM stadium ,which is very close to the track, Hull Royal Infirmary which is a dominant feature of the skyline, St Stephens shopping center with its wavy roof. Another very colourful site, which is good potential for a mastery reward, is Hull fair located in Walton Street car park which is also right next to the railway line. At night this would look spectacular with all the fairground ride lights and a loud atmosphere to drive right next to. Just before Beverley station you get a good view of Beverley minster towering above. Further north you travel past Normandy barracks a former RAF base (now British army driving school) . I think it would be a relaxing experience to drive this route as it isn't long before your cruising through East Yorkshire country side, getting close to the coast many times at Bridlington, Filey and Scarbrough.
Lovely suggestion! You had me at 'Scarborough'. Might be biased, but more Yorkshire never harmed anyone...and having a modern route there would be great. I'd prefer the modern day traction as it's high time we had a 158 in TSW 2. Though I think DTG should include layers for 70s/80s stock.
This could also be a good pre Dr Beeching route as it looks so much more interesting and the line could continue to Whitby from Scarborough and potentially the railways that go to the docks.
Excellent idea and in timetable mode you can get a class 158 coupled to Class 150 170 due to their BSI coupler system. If TVL was owned with a pacer DLC you can get a Class 150 Pacer combination like how it was done in 2020-2022
