This route would be 102 miles including the branch to Ely. The route would include the class •755 flirt ,greater anglia •387, great northern •220,221,170 CrossCountry. This also could have potential layers for so and freight. I’m probably missing lots of stuff but please also correct and add if you think it’s wrong or needs adding. Thank you for reading.
Why would u want it via the ely lines? That would be a completely separate addon and why not have the mainline to Ipswich. Also no modern stock can be used due to licensing issues
There are no services that run from Liverpool Street to Ipswich via Ely. As I see it there are four good options in East Anglia (which has yet to see any TSW and I'm not letting that pass without comment DTG JD ) 1. Fenchurch Street - Shoeburyness via Upminster & Tilbury. Short, fairly self-contained, don't believe a licence would be a problem. 2. Liverpool Street - Ipswich or Clacton - Mostly commuter line but with a lot of 66s passing by. No GA licence means pre-2012 is the only option at the moment. 3. Liverpool Street - Cambridge - Nearly all passenger services, again would have to be pre-2012. 4. Norwich to Gt Yarmouth & Lowestoft ("Wherry Lines") again pre 2012. I think options 1 and 2 are probably the most regularly requested of the above. Sadly TSW is so short of EMUs that can be used in East Anglia that it would have to be a huge release with 2 or more new types of traction. Option 1 only needs a 357 Electrostar and a 720 Aventra. Different versions of EMUs we already have.
I'd be happy with a 360 or 321 at best, with the 70 mile stretch between Ipswich and London. Hopefully with some branches aswell
