    This Route would include two train operating companies, TransPennine Express & Northern. The Line would run from Doncaster to Manchester Airport Via Manchester Piccadilly.

    100% this!

    this would be perfect for the game, i would absolutely love this.

    the only issue is the 71 mileage which may be out of range for train sim world.

    a way around that could be to omit the branch used by northern rail and just have the mainline via stockport, which would bring the mileage in range of current 'longer distance' train sim world routes.

    but manchester to doncaster has it all, outstanding natural scenery, huge industrial areas through south yorkshire, quiet stations and large major interchanges, i cannot emphasise enough how great this route would be in the game

    great suggestion, i don't know how much the creators of the game take route suggestions into account but i really hope this one gets their attention...


    * and to add to this, i really think it's time northern england had a modern-era route. obviously we each have our own preferences, but as we already have the ntp route that is set over 40 years ago, any future northern english route should be modern-era like this suggestion

    Personally, I wouldn't include NT 153 or 170 and replace it with a 319 or 331 as there is no electric traction for this route despite it going via Manchester Piccadilly.
