The North Wales Mainline! At 105.5 Miles end to end this beautiful journey takes you across the stunning North Wales Coastline starting from Crewe (already in-game) and going all the way to Holyhead. The route features 19 stations and has a top speed of 90mph. Traction on the route BR Class 805 (Already in-game) The Class 805 is the primary inter-city traction along this route from AWC. TfW Class 150 & 153 (Already in-game) TfW Class 158 (The unit is already in-game, without TfW branding and interiors.) If AAB feels brave enough to create a new train, there is the Class 197 on the route taking over the duties of the Class 15x units. Plus AI Traffic at Crewe AWC: Class 390 & 807 (When it releases) LNWR: Class 350 subclasses EMT: Class 158 Northern: Various Check out this Driver's View along the line! Why this route? The North Wales Main Line takes you on a stunning trip across the coastline of North Wales, there are many sites to see including Castles, the Menai Bridge, where the line becomes single track and the road is on a bridge directly above you. You pass by the site of RAF Valley home to RAF planes. As well as plenty of crossings and whistle boards. You also pass right by Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (Europe's Longest Name for a Town) station. And Conwy Tubular Bridge which goes under Conwy Castle. Plenty of highlights along this spectacular route, it maybe long, but the journey is certainly worth it. If Trent Valley is a success, they should definitely consider this route next. Which would become the second longest route in TSW, just three miles shorter than Trent Valley. Let me know you're thoughts
I could see Aabs doing this route, though I think there's a chance they could do the route in 2019, like their BHM to CRE and include a Virgin Class 221 instead of the 805. Given that Aabs made the 805 as a stand alone add-on, I think it would be a little weird for them to include it with it's own route as well, but this is a very good suggestion.
I just thought if the 805 was to be included with this route, the original 805 add-on would be rendered kinda pointless
They might make the 805 add-on not part of the route, and you have to buy the 805 separately to access the services?
They haven't even released Trent Valley yet... Having said that, I could see them doing this maybe if they want to continue building off from Crewe, probably with just the Caf Civity unit included (obviously stuff would layer) (Also are tfw's any less crowded than Northern's? I always seem to end up having to stand in the vestibule on the 2 car version. Also the one time I went on the 3 car version I had to stand for a bit, and also the air con in the middle carriage broke). Obviously they won't include an 805 as it's it's own dlc, and I can't see a 221 happening as I'm not sure Avanti would want to show their old stock, especially as I seem to remember it being said they only wanted the 390 depicted in a post refurb state. The 150 and 153 are already dovetail(/rivet) trains, and it would be upto Skyhook to make a 158 most likely.
