Today I am suggesting the Selby Line route set in 1984. This route runs for approximately 49 miles from Leeds, West Yorkshire to Hull Paragon, Humberside. This forms part of the Eastern leg of the Transpennine route. Stations included are... Leeds Cross Gates Garforth East Garforth Micklefield South Milford Selby Wressle Howden Eastrington Gilberdyke Broomfleet Brough Ferriby Hessle Hull Paragon Set in 1983 or 84, it would allow inclusion and use of long gone Transpennine dmus of classes 123 and 124. Furthermore, these dmus can be added as layers to the existing Northern Transpennine Manchester to Leeds route for extra services and variety as they could often be found operating in the area during the period. Likewise, the Class 123 can be layered onto DLoGW if the correct variants are created as these were regularly operated on this route during the period. Route Map Class 123 Express DMU (formerly WR) Class 124 Transpennine Express DMU Hopefully this is an interesting suggestion.
Very nice hopefully a candidate for just trains can imagine how fab this would be following the fantastic performance on just trains Blackpool route
Correct me if I’m wrong but is crabley creek missing from here as I know there’s a important signal box somewhere here
Good suggestion! I think the route should include both the original 6-car 124 and the 123/124 hybrids that were running just before withdrawal, even though it seems by 1984 the only formations running were the 4-car hybrids.
Awesome suggestion, especially including trains that could be layered onto other routes What layers from other routes (DLoGW, NTP & TVL for example) would layer into this route though?
There is a signal box at Crabley Creek, yes, but it sits at a level crossing. There has never been a station there as far as I know. At least the Class 101 and Class 31 were used on the route, 37s as well but we don't have the correct livery for those in-game as of right now. I assume 47s would have been used sometimes as well, as for other locomotives I am not sure.
New liveries for existing types is fairly straightforward and, as proven by Just Trains, is a good way to fill up the service roster with lots of variety.
A key landmark of interest on this route is the Humber suspension bridge, which is passed under just West of Hessle Station.
Magnificent bridge, isn't it. Once the longest single span suspension bridge in Europe at the time it was built.
