    Sheffield - Bedford line is a route located in the midlands that links the towns of Bedford,Leicester, Sheffield and Derby together, with a route length of about 95 miles (153km) making it the second longest route it added to tsw. The Sheffield - Bedford line was built between the 1840s and the 1870s by the Midland railway and should be set in modern day England.

    I actually went on this line today no joke.
    It was fun but don't forget 180's run aswell - arguably it going to Nottingham would be more likely (the route I took today) but non the less a really fun and scenic route.

    it’s a good route tbh, and it’s doable, not too many stations and it’s diesel

    Well... the midland main line plus some xc turbostar routes stop at a lot of other stations between the two but yeah - going from St Pancras would be crazy considering the sheer number of thameslink trains - hopefully the 222 would be layered on to sehs - also maybe a 43 in East Midlands livery aswell??? Other then that I don't want to see the 810 ever again (meridians > hiatchi)

    I don’t like the Voyager/Meridian family i prefer the 800s. They’ve grown on me so much. My top 3 is probably (APT,390 and 800).

    But to stay on topic, yes i should’ve added xc turbostars as an extra loco, i thought they didn’t work on the MML for a bit, i must’ve been quite mistaken. St Pancras- Bedford should be a separate route

    Also don't forget 158's - my profile picture was taken today of one going along Nottingham up to Sheffield and beyond via the mml

    But yeah- 180's and 170 would need to be added for true immersion considering I just passed a 180 in Bedford as I type.

    It'd need southern livery too - a lot of emr 170's use southern livery with emr regional branding

    I would love this route to come to TSW at some point, the Midlands need more routes in TSW :)
