    Yes or no probably would like it with the class 156/153 and the drs class 37 also this line is in England uk and is just over 50miles if you also add the line linking great yarmouth to lowestoft it has electrification just around Norwich this line features the class 755 in the modern day and also features Brerny arms station with used to be the least used station in Norfolk this line Also links up with the breckland line and the great eastern mainline both respectively running between Norwich and cambridge and Norwich and London liverpool steet stations and there is a depo at Norwich used by greater Anglia also on a side note greater anglia is owned and operated by Dutch company abelio

    Rather than adding lots of one-line, zero-info suggestions, have a read of this thread and try doing a multi-line, detail-rich suggestion with images. Give a people a reason to tick your boxes. ;)

    Here's a link to expand the OP's citation...

    Plenty of scope for layers particularly if you go retro when Summer Saturdays saw dated holiday relief trains and excursions galore. DLC could be a Cravens Class 105 DMU.

    Isn't the scenery just going to miles and miles of flat fields? Driving to Norfolk is pretty sleep-inducing as it is, and that's with roundabouts to keep things interesting.

    I hope they'd be able to get all that detail into the Berney Arms station building. Looks complex! :D

    Well I must admit after a couple of trips on the TS version I didn’t go back. Even the 37s couldn’t hold my interest as top and tailed around 4 coaches both powered, there was little thrash value or challenge keeping time

    I like the idea of this route, particularly with it having more of a network feel. I don't mind this route from Train Simulator, the scenery is fairly flat but still quite scenic with all the windmills, meadows and rivers. It would be great if the swing bridges could be animated too. It has a more laid back feel which is sometimes a nice break from operating all the hectic commuter routes we presently have.

    Another option could be to backdate it to the 1990's, reusing Rivet's Class 150/2 (with improvements) and possibly including 'Summer Saturday' excursion trains layered on from Northern Trans-Pennine.
