The lines from Shrewsbury to Birmingham New Street and Ironbridge total up to around 50 miles and have a wide variety of stock operating over them Proposed Rolling Stock Class 66 in EWS livery + HHA wagons Operated freight out of Ironbridge Class 170 in London Midland livery Operated Shrewsbury to New Street services Class 323 in London Midland livery Operated Wolverhampton to New Street services as well as ECS workings for the Cross City from Soho depot. Possible DLC's Class 158 in Arriva Trains Wales livery Operated Aberystwyth to Birmingham International services Class 221 in Virgin Trains livery Operates Shrewsbury to Euston services (about 4 or 5 a day)
Excellent idea and for EWS Class 66 HHA Wagons those can layer to east coast way and Great Western Main Line.
I'd rather have it bang up to date with WM Trains (which can then carry over to the Birmingham Cross City line to give us a bit of a midlands network like we have around Brighton. Haven't Virgin pulled all their licenses anyway?
