    The route from Stoke Works Jn, just south of Bromsgrove, up to Burton-On-Trent is around 50-55 miles long and has a mass of freight and passenger action on it. This route would be set in the early 1990's, with freight dominated by Class 37's, 56's and 58's

    Used that route regularly in period.
    You might also want to include the Class 156 which ran from Nottingham to Cardiff and the Class 304 which worked alongside the 310.

    Didn't know 156's ran that service so that's why I didn't mention them.
