    Meadowhall, there is no space between the Meadow and the Hall, and also, where's the Rolling Stock and Service Patterns, I don't see what you think you achieve by just posting the stops Along the way,

    Oh no, a typo, what are we to do.
    That will come a little later, service patterns are not that important at the moment, but I will be posting Rolling Stock once I've done more research on the line; this is just an initial post, and I'll update and go more in-depth later.

    It is indeed, but I'm also finding out that the Freight terminals at Immingham and Doncaster are a little more important to the area than I originally realised as well, which run along the same line.

    Don't forget that freight also uses the Hope Valley line as there's a Freightliner terminal near Hope (Earles Sidings).

    I would also like to see this route in TSW, especially between Donny and Scunny as I used to travel that route regularly until 2005.

    I live in Immingham, I can see the docks from my house lol, I regularly see the coal trains bound for one of the power stations (Ratcliffe Power Station I think, might be wrong) past my workplace on Stallingbrough industrial estate, usually a class 66. I would love to see this route come to TSW (even wanted it on TSC) but I doubt it'll ever happen to be honest. Don't forget the few stations that are rarely stopped at:

    - New Clee
    - Grimsby docks
    - Great Coates
    - Healing
    - Stallingbrough

    Hope Valley line would be a really good addition to TSW.
