    Goodmorning all.
    I really would like to see the Northern Class 195 and Class 331 get added to Train Sim World 7 one day as ik we already have the license for it in game it would really be a great addition aswel.

    But to see the modern route get added is because These trains are a major part of modern rail travel across the North West and it would be a great addition to the game i think. A route linking Manchester Piccadilly and Blackpool North would really be a great route to drive along with the class 390s aswel with the class 90 freight too.
    Trains: class 195 Northern.

    Class 323 Northern.

    Class 150 Northern.

    Class 90 Freight.

    These are the trains wich I think would suit best in the modern era for the route. With the class 195/331s for the Blackpool to Liverpool line, manchester line ect also with the class 150s for the preston to colne line also going to Blackpool south aswel.
    The class 323s for the Blackpool to Manchester Airport line even the new Class 805s for blackpool to London euston services, Also with the class 390s aswel would help complete the modern Northern experience in Train Sim World.

    As this is my local route, I'd love to see it represented in the game. I think it would thrive in Train Sim World 7 due to its busy services, variety of rolling stock and popularity with rail enthusiasts and local players alike.

    The Class 195 and Class 331 are long overdue for TSW7, and I hope Dovetail Games considers adding them in a future update or route.
    Ps. Couldn't find a map of the route from blackpool to manchester of Google, until I can find one ill add it up. Thanks for reading tho.

    Wouldn't this end up repeating the Preston to Blackpool North section of Blackpool Branches (albeit in a different time period)?
