    The current route coverage for the Northern Trans Pennine route isn't bad, but it could be even better if the route went past Leeds and all the way to York. An extra 22 miles could be a lot to ask for an extension to quite an old route, but if possible, you could spend more time with the 45, 47 and 40, and add a whole new service with the class 101.

    If, like GWE, extensions aren't possible, then this route could still receive a full remaster and a 1986 era timetable. A 1986 era timetable would have to include a class 40, 45 and 101 altered with high-intensity headlights. The point of making a timetable in 1986 is that rolling stock from other BR 1980s routes like JustTrains' routes and the TVL could layer in for extra service variation and a more varied rail scene. Furthermore, the Class 101 and 45 should receive new sounds because the current ones aren't the best in all honesty.

    If the extension were to happen, more services for the Class 08 could be added at York and Leeds. If no extension, then more services across the existing route, especially since the 08 currently has no services in the afternoon.

    I really would like to see this route remastered on par with GWE and the West Somerset Railway, so please DTG, consider adding NTP to the remaster list.
