    Got the idea to suggest this after someone suggested London St Pancras to Bedford with the class 222, 360, and 700


    I think derby to Sheffield should be added
    With the class 222 starting/stopping at derby and Sheffield, with a stop at Chesterfield.
    The derwent valley line would consist of a stopping service (2AXX) ran by a class 156 or 158 stopping at duffield belper ambergate wantstanwell Cromford matlock bath and matlock. Freight could consist of a class 66 from derby up to a siding at Sheffield or Chesterfield, double header class 66s could be possible down the line from ambergate-matlock

    Please share this as I think this should be added

    Too short but I think Sheffield to Leicester would be a better option just over an hour and I think it's about 60 miles if I remember correctly.

    I would like this route but probably have it set between the years 1996 and 2007 as then we can have the Midland Mainline franchising..
