    Today I am going to be suggesting a Welsh route which would be the first in the TSW games
    The Welsh route im suggesting is ran by Transport for Wales called the Borderlands line, this line runs for about 27/28 miles and consists of about 15 stations taking around an 1hr 5mins to complete

    The trains they run this line are
    The class 197 - 2 & 3 car multiple units that run upto 100mph

    Class 230 battery units 3 car Units 60 mph top speed

    I believe these trains run side by side , I believe there's only about 5 of these units on the line and TFW has well above 80 of the 197s but I am unsure about how many are allocated to this line
    But I assume the 197s are the common sight.
    Cons to this route are : there are only about 17 trains a day with the last services starting around 7/8 but hopefully this will be less of a problem considering how long it takes to complete the route

    Would personally prefer the North Wales Coast Line as there's much more to do on that route, but any Welsh content would be much appreciated at this stage. Its been too long into the history of TSW not to see any routes in Wales yet!

    Wales is needed. The d train could just be a modified class 484

    Then again, the Borderlands line (Wrexham Central-Bidston), could be a way for Rivet to clean up their act, as the service variety would only be 1 train every 45mins in each direction
