    Here’s another suggestion I’ve been thinking for a short while…time to share my thoughts about it!!
    The route should start from King's Cross to Letchworth Garden City, the distance would be around 31 miles (50 kilometers) during the journey.
    The rolling stock should be the Class 801, Class 717, Class 700, and the Class 387/1.
    What’re your thoughts on this? Do you think this idea might be in TSW4 sometime soon? Let me know when you reply to this thread! :)

    Presuming you have the loop may aswell add the Morgate extenstion for some full services.

    Could it maybe go to Cambridge, 31 miles seems a bit too short.

    Could have the 801/1 make a reappearance although it would only be between Kings Cross and Stevenage (which not all LNER services stop at).

    I like the idea! Some mixed rolling stock that can be uncluced, mostly modern! Lenght is quite good, realistic to achieve!

    I think that’s a great idea making it go to Cambridge now that I see the route distance from King's Cross to Cambridge (which is almost as long as Brighton to London Victoria).
