    Ok So today I am suggesting something more realistic for The Midland Mainline to Make Express services a lot better, instead of driving Class 43s all the time what we experienced before. I Chose this idea for this time because I saw that skyhook games were making a Gameplay pack, they might have planned something but again I’m saying that I could be a lot more Fun.

    This suggestion is The Bombardier Class 222 Meridian, part of the Bombardier Voyager Family. This DMU has a Diesel electric engine, Capable of 125mph/200kmh. 27 of these were built during 2004 - 2005 in Bruges Belgium.

    Engine of 559 kW (750 hp) at 1,800 RPM . This powers a Generator, which supplies Current to motors driving two axles per coach. Approximately 1,350 miles (2,170 km) can be travelled between each refuelling.

    Class 222 have rheostatic braking using the motors in reverse to generate electricity which is dissipated as heat through resistors situated on the roof of each coach, this saves on brake pad wear.

    I am suggesting this as a 5 or 7 car DMU for the perfect length for some stops on the services between Derby or Nottingham To Leicester. More info here…

    Great suggestion, this is well-requested and it will add that extra variety in high-speed services along the route compared to just being able to running the HST all the time, which isn't realistic at all :)

    Mml is set in 2016. That's correct. So was GWE or was that 2015
