    139 miles too long, even London to Leicester might be pushing it.

    Maybe just Leicester to Derby and Nottingham, with Matlock added at a push? Gives the variety of the intercity trains and the local stopping services. Roughly 50 miles (without Matlock included).

    Very long route, but the stock sounds really fun, some variantion but hard with Thames, not sure how far they are getting TL license in TSW!
    Like "OldVern,, says, till Leicester would be already enough!

    Yeah but dtg can't create 180km routes every single time lol. It was only made long cuz there wasn't a true high speed route. Hma, ska, lgv were high speed routes but all you could do was to speed up, be in lzb for a bit and slow down, making it only 30 minutes long. Dtg wanted a route where you can be in high speed for basically the whole route so it's a longer journey

    I would love MML featured, but where to, Bedford like the TSC version, or further up like Derby or Leicester, like rennekton#1349 has said above, if MML gets made that far, it won't be for a while yet, late 2023 or early 2024 if DTG wanted to make another Kassel-Würzburg length route
