    This route would start at London kings cross and go to Peterborough completing a 72 miles route along with the 3 mile route to moorgate adding up to 75 miles of track, there is a possibility of going to Cambridge or including the loop line around Gordon Hill and Enfield chase.

    This route would be set in 2018-2025 for simplicity sake.

    Layers/already made DLC

    Great northern
    Class 313 PEPs
    The class 313 would run moorgate to welwyn garden city/Stevenage services along with some services heading out of kings cross
    This train would be in first capital connect livery with Great northern branding.
    This would be nothing but a relivery and adding some functions along with a pantograph.

    Class 387 electrostars
    These trains would also go up to Stevenage from kings cross and turn off as AI going to Cambridge/kings lynn/ely I believe some of these go Peterborough but I am be wrong.
    Mainly fast or semi fast services
    This again would be nothing but a reskin

    LNER
    Class 43 HST

    These would run intercity services to and form kings cross to Peterborough stopping at Stevenage time to time
    The class 43 would be a reskin of the one we already have.

    Thameslink Desiro citys
    Class 700
    Thameslink run class 700 between King's Cross and St Pancras International(Coming from Horsham/three Bridges/Brighton) to Peterborough and Cambridge they mainly run semi fast services up and down the line

    Class 801 azumas/at300s
    Again the LNER class 801 would run intercity services between King's X and Peterborough

    Potential addons
    Great northern class 365 networkers

    The class 365 would run London to Peterborough/Cambridge commuter services alongside the 387 or 700 (321s for earlier periods) depending on year set.
    These would be in the all white livery or the purple slash on the top which they had near the end of there time.
    Potential to layer onto a back-dated southeastern or a scotrail route(a few were with scotrail for a brief period)

    LNER
    Class 800 azumas/at300
    Would take the base model of the 801 and require a few adjustments. Would layer onto other routes

    Class 91/225s
    Between these and the 365s they are definitely fan favourites they would run services along side the HSTs or Azumas

    Class 717s
    Replacing class 313 services

    Less likely but worthy mentions
    Class 379s electrostars
    Recently acquired by Great northern to run alongside the 387s

    Hull trains

    We would see the class 180 if the route was set anytime before late 2019
    And the 802 if the route was set from late 2019
    But I believe the 2 ran along together at some point.
    The 802 could be implemented but would only be playable between King's X and Stevenage. The 802 could also layer onto the other ecml route but this train would most likely come as a layer from a route made for this train.

    Grand central
    Class 180s
    These would run to and from kings cross stopping at Peterborough around 4 times per day meaning these might come as a layer rather then dlc - could be used on a EMR MML route or a FGW/GWR route aswell.


    EMT 158s could layer at Peterborough


    Extra bits
    Over the years we've seen many different operators and trains
    LNER VTEC GNER , East coast, National express east coast, Thameslink, Great northern, FCC, Lumo, GC, HT
    Loads of liverys , trains , eras , I could see at least 20 different timetables in order to fit these in as the operators and rolling stock was always changing.

    Backdate the route in the 1960s-70s with Class 55 Deltics. Class 55 is much needed in game.

    Would rather it be in the modern era with the 55 being a railtour pack
