Since there's so many suggestions for the 730, I'd thought I'd make an entirely new suggestion for TSW. With the celebration of the two stations that have opened Willenhall & Darlaston. A new route towwards Shropshire via North Birmingham. I am suggesting for playability for the route; Class 196 - WMR Livery - Duration of full route (Main Locomotive to go with route) Class 197 - TfW Livery - Between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury. Class 350 - LNWR (Styled livery as we don't have licencing) Class 66 - for Bescot Yard and freight moves. *Possible Class 730* - Cross City Line, services between Birmingham & Tame Bridge Parkway *Possible Class 170* (Rail tour) - The 170's have all been replaced by the class 196. *Possible Class 323 (Rail tour)* AI; Avanti; Class 390, Class 805, Class 807. Cross Country; Class 220 & Class 170. LNWR; Class 730/0 & Class 730/2 TfW; Class 197. Stations; **Birmingham New Street (BHM) *Duddeston – (DUD) - Between Duddeston and Hampstead only Local services will call. Aston (AST) Witton (WTT) Perry Barr (PRY) Hamstead (HSD) - Between Duddeston and Hampstead only Local services will call.* Tame Bridge Parkway (TAB) *Bescot Stadium (BSC)* Services towards/from Rugeley Trent Valley/Walsall stop here Darlaston (DAS) Willenhall (WIA) Wolverhampton (WVH) Bilbrook (BBK) Codsall (CSL) Albrighton (ALB) Cosford (COS) Shifnal (SFN) Telford Central (TFC) Oakengates (OKN) Wellington (WLN) Shrewsbury (SHR)** I believe that this route could be a very big contender for Train sim world 7, as a fairly big release (not a core release) Reasons why I've chosen this suggestion is mainly to celebrate the use of the stations at Willenhall and Darlaston. The highlight of this route is more for the playability for players, providing some local-stopping, semi-fast and the western end terminus' of West Midlands Railway not only that, once players leave Birmingham New Street or leave Tame Bridge Parkway there will be different alternative routes to get into Birmingham such as via Perry Barr (Non-Stopping) But making it playable to players for local stopping services. The other route to/out of Birmingham would be going via Soho South Junction which gently passes by the WMR Soho Depot. Celebrating 2 new rail stations in the Black Country Willenhall and Darlaston. This section of the line is heavily used by freight and freight trains regularly come via the daytime about 4-5 trains an hour sometimes more. Passenger Services were withdrawn from the line in 1960's and was heavily used a freight corridor to avoid central Birmingham with congestion.
