    Today I have a suggestion which sounds basic initially but I hope will offer a range of services that will appeal to a large portion of the player base.
    This is a suggestion for Leeds to York via Harrogate and Leeds to York via Garforth as one route.
    The Stations
    Leeds
    Cross Gates
    Garforth
    East Garforth
    Micklefield
    Church Fenton
    Ulleskelf
    York
    Poppleton
    Hammerton
    Cattal
    Knaresborough
    Starbeck
    Harrogate
    Hornbeam Park
    Pannal
    Weeton
    Horsforth
    Headingley
    Burley Park
    New Rolling Stock
    Class 195 CAF Civity for Leeds to York via Garforth and Blackpool to York via Garforth services
    TPE Class 185 for express services calling at Leeds (Cross Gates and Garforth in peak times) and York pluss a special timetable where they operate stopping Leeds to York via Garforth services as they did in reality.
    Reworked Stock
    Northern Class 158 for York to Hull/Bridlington, York to Leeds via Harrogate, York to Leeds via Garforth and Hull to Halifax
    Northern Class 170 for York to Leeds via Harrogate
    Class 800 LNER for Harrogate to London services as well as AI at Leeds and York (potential add on)
    Layers
    XC Class 220 for Edinburgh to Plymouth playable between Leeds and York
    Class 66 for freight
    Northern 323 to act as electric AI
    Service Patterns
    1 TPH Leeds to York via Garforth
    1 TPH Halifax to Hull
    1 TPH Blackpool to York
    3 TPH TPE Manchester to the North
    1 TP2H Harrogate to London Kings Cross
    2 TPH Leeds to York via Harrogate
    Additional Leeds to Harrogate during peak hours
    1 TPH XC Plymouth to Edinburgh

    Overall I think this suggestion offers a great balance of express and commuter services with various stopping patterns and plenty of traffic along the route.
    Let me know any improvements I could make.
