Route mileage: Liverpool Lime Street (LIV) to Wrexham General (WRX) = 39.20 miles Average Journey time = 1hr Trains: Transport for Wales (TFW) Class 197. These trains come in two formations (197/0s are 2 car units and 197/1s are 3 car units) Route information The line has 10 stations (when including the branch to Wrexham) which are: -Wrexham General/Wrecsam Cyffredinol -Chester/Caer -Helsby -Frodsham -Runcorn -Liverpool South Parkway/Parcffordd De Lerpwl -West Allerton -Mossley Hill -Edge Hill -Liverpool Lime Street/Lerpwl Lime Street West Allerton, Mossley Hill, and Edge Hill aren't served by TFW, but instead receive services from Northern (Unfortunately we don't yet have a Northern Class 150, 156 or 158, so you wouldn't call at these stations unless these units are created).

Highlights: -Chester CAF maintenance Depot - The Halton Curve -Runcorn Silver Jubilee Bridge -Liverpool South Parkway for Liverpool John Lennon Airport -Edge Hill depot and Alstom Widnes maintenance Depot. Time Period: June - September 2024 Overview: I feel that this would be a good route as it would take advantage of existing DLCs to compliment the route offering, improving the overall experience when driving along. There would also be a lot of service variation between the two different carriages lengths of the 197s. Overall, it would add a lot of services to the route, whilst using stock from the existing pool of DLC's already available.
What I would give for a 196/197, the route choice is good too with a nice simple run from Liverpool to Wrexham
What a suggestion!! This would be great to see in the game, I would rather see it set in maybe 2022 so it could feature a TFW 158 or 150/2 rather than a 197 not a fan of them myself...
