    How about having a route from Blackpool North and Windermere to Manchester Airport? Dating back to 2016 where the routes were operated by First Transpennine Express. With two locos included in this DLC, one is the class 350 and the other is the class 185.
    The route from Windermere will include the following stations: Windermere, Staveley, Burneside, Kendal,
    Oxenholme Lake District, Lancaster, Preston, Wigan North Western, Manchester Oxford Road, Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport
    The route from Blackpool North will include: Blackpool North, Poulton-le-Fylde, Preston, Buckshaw Parkway, Chorley, Horwich Parkway, Bolton, Salford Crescent, Deansgate, Manchester Oxford Road, Manchester Piccadilly, Heald Green

    With scenario includes:
    1. Driving a class 185 shuttling from Windermere to Oxenholme Lake District, calling at all stations along
    2. Driving a class 185 from Windermere to Manchester Airport via Wigan North Western (probably need to divide it into 2 parts as the whole journey needs around 2.5 hours)
    3. Driving a class 185 from Blackpool North to Manchester Airport via Bolton, calling at all stations, with optional events like coupling with a service from Barrow-in-furness at Preston.
    4, Driving a class 350 from Oxenholme Lake District to Manchester Airport via Wigan North Western

    The dlc can be treated as an extension/ Enhancement of the WCML Over shap, with a newly introduced Class 185 into Train Simulator.

    Masterkey Simulations are making the Class 185. But it would be nice to have a good route for it to run on like the one you have suggested :)
