    Today I am suggesting part of the West Coast mainline, specifically the section from Coventry to Wolverhampton via Birmingham new street.

    The line would start at Coventry before stopping at Canley, Tile Hill, Berkswell, Hampton-In-Arden, Birmingham International, Marston Green, Lea Hall, Stechford, Adderley Park, Birmingham new street, Smethwick Rolfe Street, Smethwick Galton Bridge, Sandwell and Dudley, Dudley port, Tipton, Coseley and Wolverhampton.

    Trains

    Trains are the most important asset to a route, and this one has a fair few. They probably wouldn't all be included, but these are the trains that could be on the route.


    Class 158 TfW
    These 2 car DMUs operate TfW's Birmingham intl - Shrewsbury service. On this route, they would operate faster services from Birmingham intl to Wolverhampton.

    Class 170/5 WMR
    These DMUs are operated along this line by WMR, on slow services. They run all the way from Coventry to Wolverhampton in this line.

    Class 220 XC
    These DEMUs operate for Cross Country on fast services on this line.

    Class 221 AWC
    These tilting DEMUs are similar to the class 220s. They operate fast services on this line for AWC.

    Class 350 LNWR
    These 4 car EMUs run semi fast services on this line.

    Class 390 AWC
    These 9 and 11 car EMUs can tilt, and run fast services for AWC on this line. Crewe_-_Keolis-Amey_158830_Chester_service.jpeg 93rpy22qngm71.jpg 1200px-CrossCountry_Class_220.jpg Class-3501-West-Midlands-Railway.jpg Avanti-Livery-Nighttime-Launch-390155.jpg

    100% agree. 390042 definitely, not sure if devs would include 390119 but luckily we have livery Maker. 50267429362_667970e3c5_b.jpg 50283434161_06fce11c8c_b.jpg Alstom-Pendolino_390-119_Railcolor-News_Avanti-West-Coast_8354.jpg 50082272286_0f7e0a6989_b.jpg 50341627876_84ac32dc0f.jpg
