Hi, I'd like to suggest a "Game play" pack for the Glossop line. It would feature the Class 150 and 158 units in Northerns Blue and White livery. The units would layer on to services such as the Manchester to Sheffield and Manchester to Rose Hill Marple/Buxton. Whilst they units would only be in operation between Manchester and Ashburys/Hyde North, these short runs would make the Glossop route far more immersive and also enable the same units to layer onto the ECML at Doncaster too. The timetable on Glossop is so sparse with nothing but 323s and the occasional freight passing. This "quick win" relivery pack would be an easy cash grab for DTG as the units are already modelled and it would just be timetable additions to add on ECML and Glossop with the relevant livery skins. (Yes I know there is some concern about the sounds etc, but it would be good enough to make the lines more immersive when driving the 323 or Azumas etc.)
Ideally the Class 150/2 needs physics improvements, as well as an interior remodel to the modern Northern configuration. Not sure the Class 158 operates many services out of Manchester Piccadilly, certainly not on local Rose Hill Marple services. Another alternative could be to use the Class 142 from Blackpool branches, set it before these units were retired and include an accompanying ex-Northern livery for the Class 323 with suspension improvements.
I believe 158s operate some of the Manchester Piccadilly to Sheffield services, but yes 150s are the mainstay of the rose hill and Buxton services (albeit mostly 150/1). I was really positioning this as a pack which could be knocked together with little effort but which could give both Doncaster and Manchester Piccadilly a little more character as currently both feel very empty with just Azumas or 323 units.
