This route will have 25 stations in total and will be 67 miles (108km) long. THE ROUTE The route starts in Crewe, located in Cheshire, ending at Newark Castle, located in the East Midlands.

Would make more sense running through to Lincoln than ending at Newark. Of course the hitch is a large overlap with the existing MML. Suspect if this area was considered, given the scope of TSW routes more likely to be Crewe to Derby or Nottingham to Lincoln (on to Grimsby would be good).
