    Stations (to be stopped at) included would be:
    Cleethorpes
    Grimsby Town
    Haborough (1tp2h)
    Barnetby
    Scunthorpe
    Doncaster
    (if extended to Sheffield)
    Meadowhall
    Sheffield
    Rolling Stock
    Class 185 Desiro
    Class 170 Turbostar (depending on when the route is set)
    Depending on how Dovetail manage AI, a Class 153 sprinter could be included for AI services to Barton and Newark (Northern and East Midlands services respectively - however I believe DTG don't hold licences for either TOCs).
    Scunthorpe and Barnetby see a high amount of freight traffic passing through to the port of Immingham so maybe a 66 could be included too?

    The main TPE service from Cleethorpes to Manchester Airport is hourly (2 hours sunday mornings, hourly sunday afternoons) which would provide a high amount of services for service mode in both directions.
    The reason I've suggested said route is because in both TSW and Train Sim over the years, no addons have been based in the East Midlands and Lincolnshire. The resort of Cleethorpes would provide a coastal terminus whilst a terminus of Doncaster or Sheffield would provide the route with a busy, central terminus.

    Travel time from Cleethorpes to Doncaster is 74 minutes and the route is roughly 55 mile I believe

    The old Oovee Class 156 for TS20XX cones with an ex-Serco Northern Rail livery (though not sure if it has the branding) so it's not entirely out of the question I guess :)

    Thats true, although it didn't have the branding on, but that livery is still applied to the 153s that run on the Barton line. However that route is supposedly transferring to the new East Midlands franchise so it may not be required.

    Hi, just seen your route suggestion and I also would like to see this route in TS2021. It would be a great add for the game and it is my local area
