Being from the North East of England there are plenty routes worth doing. East Coast Mainline between Newcastle - York (Dovetail have this as one of first routes they did in Train Simulator Classic). East Coast Mainline Newcastle - Edinburgh Newcastle - Carlisle Carlisle to Preston Cumbrian Coastal around lakes. Heritage - North East Moors Railway Pickering to Whitby going through Goathland (Harry Potter station) & Grosmont. Tyne Wear light rail Metro System Then trains I wish for: Class 91 A4 Mallard Class 156 Class 220 Voyager cross country
Settle and Carlisle Line would be my first choice, as would a 1960s-70s-era ECML section with Class 55 Deltics.
