    Pretty much as the TS20xx equivalent - Norwich to Great Yarmouth (both routes) and Lowestoft.
    If given the same era treatment as its peer, could offer modern(ish) DMU's like the Class 170 but also the Class 37 loco hauled running top and tail which operated for a little while recently to cope with shortage of units. If the route was retroed then DMU's were the mainstay, primarily Cravens units but summer Saturdays could bring all manner of motive power into Yarmouth. In the week there was a through working to/from Liverpool Street, usually hauled by a Class 47.
    Total mileage a tad over 50 miles but has the advantage of offering a network type route so not just back and forth on a linear path.
    Scenery quite pleasant with several swing bridges and the lovely little Berney Arms station to call at. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berney_Arms_railway_station

    Honestly we need a Greater Anglia route and we most certainly need a Sprinter for TSW2 and I would love this route to be the game

    They are noisy, glad they are no more in anglia, the flirts are so much better
