    The line from Crewe to Shrewsbury has 8 stations over it's 32 1/2 mile length, including Crewe, Whitchurch and Shrewsbury. Services that currently use this line include Class 175 worked services from Manchester Piccadilly to Milford Haven and Carmarthen as well as the 2 hourly stopping service currently operated by a single Class 153

    Proposed Rolling Stock
    • Class 153 in Transport for Wales livery[​IMG]
    • Class 175 in Transport for Wales livery (Both 2 and 3 car formations)[​IMG]
    • Class 56 in Colas Livery + RHTT wagons [​IMG]
    • Timber Wagons (Will used Class 70 layered in from Walsall - Wolverhampton route) [​IMG]
    Possible DLC's
    • Class 158 in TfW livery (would sub in for Class 153/175 randomly)
    Stock Layering in from other routes

    Walsall - Wolverhampton:
    Class 70 for Colas timber services, Class 350/2 for some AI traffic at Crewe, Class 170/6 for some AI traffic at Shrewsbury as well as being drivable in and out of the Carriage Sidings at Shrewsbury
    Great Western Express: EWS Class 66 for Cwmbargoed - Earles Siding as well as Arpley Sidings - Donnington RFT [​IMG]

    An excellent choice in Rolling stock. I am very familiar with the 153 as they used to run on my local line until last year, and as for the 175, whilst I’ve never seen one in person, they look amazing and I would love them to be in the game. Good suggestion you have my vote :)

    As someone who lives in Shrewsbury, I approve of this route request! :) Adding Shrewsbury into TSW would also include the world's largest operating mechanical signal box.
