Nice to see my local line recognized and suggested for by someone else! I made a suggestion post for this exact line a few months back. Have a look! The Seto-Ohashi Line
Another yes please for any Japanese line (conventional) in TSW. I’ve been having a bit of a Japan fest alongside everything else in TSC and thoroughly enjoyable.
