    Hello. I think that the Birmingham Cross City line from Bromsgrove/Redditch to Lichfield Trent Vally would make an excellent route for both commuter services using Class 323s as well as freight to Bescot Yard.
    Line details:
    Length: 31 miles (Redditch to Lichfield Trent Valley)
    Electrification: 25kV AC overhead (only on slow lines between Longbridge and King's Norton)
    Number of tracks: Mainly 2, with 4-track running between Longbridge and King's Norton and single track on the Redditch branch with a passing loop at Alvechurch)
    Main loco/unit classes: Class 323 EMU (local commuter) (Essential), Class 170 DMU (Birmingham-Worcester-Hereford services) Class 220/221 DEMU (Cross Country services)
