    Just before I get started i just want to say we need longer routes so what a better way to come up with the East Coast Mainline from Newcastle to Edinburgh Waverley especially along the coast when you get North of Berwick, I know this is a long route, I also been talking to people from the Train Sim World community and they all said we need longer routes I even heard Sam and Matt say on streams that they can do longer routes so I thought I put this suggestion on the forums

    Here's what I have to say about this...

    I been thinking long and hard about this route but I would love to see a part of the East Coast Mainline Newcastle to Edinburgh Waverley at least we will have a part of the East Coast Mainline in Train Sim World 2 and the trains that run on that route today are the LNER Azumas Class 800s, LNER Class 91s (I think), Cross Country Trains Class 220 and 221, Transpenine Express Class 800, and I think Northern Rail Class 158 which runs from Newcastle to Morpeth, and I also think the Class 66 runs along that route as well but unfortunately I don't have any pictures of any of these trains i mentioned above so I do apologise in advance. Or if you got any pictures of the trains, the route map, and timetable feel free to post them in the comments.

    Also if I was to choose an era I would choose the modern era as the route is today and just think it will be great for business for Dovtail say it did go ahead then we could get the LNER Azumas Class 800, that will come with the route (as it is an LNER route) then they could charge us for the two Cross Country Trains Class 220 and 221, the Transpenine Express Class 800 (depends on licence) and the Northern Rail Class 158 that goes from Newcastle to Morpeth. just think how busy that route will be when adding all them trains on it.

    DOVTAIL PLEASE PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

    Past Dunbar there are ScotRail services that run on the mainline, it would be very nice to see these too! Realistically we could see the LNER 800s and another train that's stops more frequently (maybe cross country? That would be nice). If the ScotRail 385 comes it would be perfect with the short extension to North Berwick and definitely would make people buy it. There's also so much opportunity for layering from previous routes and potential future ECML routes!
