Before anyone says BR blue to link it up with tvl ... fair play actually but imo we need northern Sprinters and northern modern routes haha. If we're going for old br era though if somebody is willing to give detailed info of that - that'd be welcome.
Why not set this 1989 that way both Sprinter and Pacer are in 1989 colours freight class 58 bone and merge with TVL assuming the common origin point is Sunderland or Darlington railway stations. Otherwise, a Koln Koblenz Koblenz Frankfurt Am Main TSC situation happens due to both routes can't merge due to different common origin points.
Thats a fair point. Presuming its 1989 didnt GC use HST sets I belive insted of the modern 180 for servies round there?
Would love to see this line come to TSW as although its my local line and I can see it from my flat windows it also has so much potential for passenger and freight workings
