    Another train I would like to see is the IE 22000 Class. These trains have a top speed of 100mph (161 km/h) and can be used on all Irish Rail Routes, and the Dublin - Belfast Enterprise service if the usual Enterprise train is unavailable. IMG_7730.jpeg

    Routes:

    Portadown - Belfast, Newry - Belfast (NIR 3000 Class & NIR 4000 Class)

    Dundalk - Belfast (Enterprise, 29000 class, 22000 class).

    Local trains will call at all stations, with the Enterprise, 29000 Class & 22000 Class stopping at Dundalk, Newry, Portadown and Lanyon Place.

    Also, a good idea could be an extension to York Road Depot and Bangor for DLCs?

    *this is on 2 or 3 threads because I couldn’t fit 6 images on 1 thread.

    The route is on AWS TPWS DSD Driver's Remainder Appliance to Dundalk which makes it easy for DTG to make in Train protection side but new Track Gauge Irish Gauge

    I guess if DTG ever did an Irish route part of the main line from Belfast to Dublin the obvious choice. However I wouldn’t get your hopes up… how many payware Irish routes has TSC seen?

    That is why I suggested Dundalk - Belfast.

    The Dundalk - Dublin section of the line is CAWS. Dundalk - Belfast is AWS & TPWS.

    I have also contacted Translink & Irish Rail to check if they would be ok with being featured in the simulator.

    A Dublin-Kildare route would be cool too if they wanted a different Irish route to the Dundalk line, although there’s nothing wrong with the Dundalk line either.
