This would be a fantastic add on to Train Sim World, a new modern British route in the north! It is longer than you think and would be fantastic to see trams in the game!
Would much prefer the heavy rail class 504 Manchester Victoria to Bury, which fits in with time period of NTP.
Not similar but an extension of NTP but with different traction as the class 504 was a 1200v side contact 3rd rail emu.
Modern day, Altrincham - Bury at least, mixture of old and new stations (like real life) and some parts of it used to be a proper railway.
