    Has some really interesting & unique stations along the route, including Newark Castle and Lincoln itself where there are multiple railway crossings just before the station that split the high street in two, the line itself runs along the quayside & canal when approaching Lincoln which makes for interesting views of the surrounding scenery.

    Would love to see this in TS2021 or TSW2, although I think it would be better suited to the former given the stock available & potential for third parties to develop further from this route base.

    Lincoln itself is an iconic city with an iconic skyline in which it's cathedral (which previously held the status of tallest man-made structure in the world since the Great Pyramid of Giza from 1311 to 1548) can be seen for miles alongside it's partnering castle.

    The line serves the following places.

    You can see a mixture of East Midland Railway 153, 156 and 158s servicing this line all operated by East Midland Railway. 66's and other freight services are also common sight passing through Lincoln, famously known by locals as causing up to 15-minute waits at the level crossings.
