Explanation Personally I believe adding the line from walsal- wolverhampton would add much more potential and variety to the cross city line that is already in the game this would give lots of opportunity for new loco packs and a more busy time table to make this route more emmersive and realistic Interesting opportunities Some of the more interesting opportunities that would be avaliable would be taking advantage of the Bescot yard where there could be an old loco sitting arround for mastery, this would also allow many scenarios for freight and would obviously make free roam a lot more fun. This line also connects many areas to local universities so this may be involved in a scenario too e.g. large increase in passengers <students> so an extra service is needed. Another opportunity is the vast amount of diferent trains that run this route, some would switch you for an ai at either wolverhampton or walsal however it gives potential for more variety when playing the route shown below. Trains that come with the route WMR 323 London northwestern 350 (new) Class 66 No need for a photo we all know what one of those looks like by now! Train bundle WMR Class 170 turbostar WMR Class 196 London northwestern 350 (old) Attached below Scenario ideas No ticket trip A passenger on board refuses to buy a ticket stop at a station try to reason with them then call security and await another train to take all of the late passengers Student situation Due to an increase in student passengers an extra service is required to keep things running smoothly. Turbo superstar Use the turbo star to rescue passengers from a broken down 350 near Bescot yard. HS2 support Drive a freight train drom Bescot yard to dudderston to help the construction of the HS2 The train that never dies <only if the blackpool-preston route is owned> Drive a pacer fron walsal to new St supporting the rush on a busy Bank holiday
Things like pendolinos and voyagers could be added but I don't see the point as the route is too short still.
Worth noting the Stour Valley line would incorporate the Soho TMD. Would give the option then for 323 scenarios starting or ending at the depot. Also if we're adding the 350, there's potential for the Chase Line plus services out to B'ham International. There's a few options they could theoretically take.
