    I'd love to see a dedicated British route which is freight orientated. We've got Sand Patch Grade which is 100% freight & shunting as well as Oakville. Is there any routes in the UK which are use primarily for freight rather than commuter?

    If you'd like to see this or similar British/Freight route, please suggest them below.

    I don’t know any freight orientated lines in my region, but the mayflower line and east Suffolk lines/ great eastern mainline have a lot of freight traffic- there is a short spurr on the east suffolk lines going to size well power station, but that is mothballed until construction of sizewell c starts

    There is the frieght route that goes around Sheffield past Tinsley mill. It branches off at Tapton jct in Chesterfield, over the canal, then through Eckington, Killamarsh and around Sheffield. I don't know where it join back to the mainline though.
