    The line from New Street to Leicester is around 40 miles long, and has quite a lot of freight locations along its route. The line from Whitacre Jn to Birch Coppice as well as Birmingham New Street to Tyseley would be included to allow for a more active timetable.

    Proposed Rolling Stock
    • Class 170 in CrossCountry livery[​IMG]
    Operates all passenger services along the route.
    • Class 66/7 in GBRf livery + Container & JNA wagons[​IMG][​IMG]
    Operates GBRf services from Hams Hall and Birch Coppice
    • Class 66/5 in Freightliner livery + Container wagons[​IMG]
    Operates Freightliner Intermodal services from Lawley Street as well as Leeds to Southampton.

    Possible DLC
    • Class 70 for more variety on Freightliner services[​IMG]
