    Hey everyone

    How would you feel if Dovetail made the East Midlands Mainline from Leicester to Sheffield, I can't remember what trains run on that route but I do know that the Class 222 runs every half an hour or every hourly service from Sheffield to London St Pancras Via Chesterfield, Derby, and Leicester.

    I'm going to try my best and give a list of trains that I think runs along that route so correct me if I'm wrong.

    Class 222
    Class 158
    Class 156
    And finally Class 66

    Let me know what you all think please folks and any feedback would be much appreciated. Thank You

    Would love this being from Leicester. I'd possibly have it branch out to Nottingham too.

    The 222, 158 and 66 are common on the local Leicester to Nottingham line. Can't say I've ever noticed the 156, but I don't travel to Sheffield.

    The class 43 HST is a realistic train to include as it only stopped a few years back

    Funnily enough. This for the most part has actually been added!
