As is suggested by the title, this DLC pack would feature 3 routes from 3 counties in England; Herefordshire, Worcestershire & Gloucestershire. One of these routes would be set in the Steam era, another in the BR Blue era and the final one being in the modern day. Route 1 (Steam Era): Gloucester to Hereford + The Llanthony Docks Branch 1962 (BR Class 03 & GWR 41XX Large Prairie) Running over a length of just over 30 miles, the line between Hereford & Gloucester was single track for the most part, with 8 stations and 3 halts spread over its length. The major stations on this line are Hereford (Barr's Court), Ross-On-Wye, Grange Court Junction & Gloucester. The Llanthony Docks Branch and other yards around Gloucester would add an extra 3 or so miles length to the route, with the West Somerset Class 52 layering into the route to provide AI services to and from Paddington as well as some locos on Gloucester Horton Road shed Route 2 (BR Blue Era): Hereford to Shrewsbury 1980 (BR Blue Class 25/2, BR Blue/Grey Class 120 'Swindon' DMUs, TTA Oil Tankers, BR Blue/Grey Mk1's) Coming in with a length of just over 50 miles with the inclusion of Coton Hill Yard at Shrewsbury, the Welsh Marches in the early 1980s had a very sparse service, with 6 services a day in each direction Monday - Saturday between Crewe & Cardiff, with the departure times of these services shown below courtesy of the Derby Sulzers website These workings would all have been in the charge of the ubiquitous Class 25 'Rat'. The Swindon DMU's were in charge of services along the Heart of Wales Line during this time, with these services being drivable between Shrewsbury & Craven Arms. Class 101's were not strangers to the Shrewsbury & Hereford area during this era, hence them layering in to provide AI services. Stock from the Heavy Freight pack would also layer in to provide additional freight traffic & variety on existing services on this route. There were also a few CrossCountry trains that traversed this section of line, with the NTP Class 47 layering in to cover these as well as any London Paddington services at Hereford, with the shunt moves for these services being drivable. Route 3 (Post 2000): Great Malvern - Birmingham New Street via University & Camp Hill Line + Tyseley Depot, Smethwick Galton Bridge & Soho Depot (WMR & CrossCountry 170 + Colas 56 for RHTT) Set in the West Midlands Railway era, this route would introduce the Class 170 to the game, with the West Midlands Railway & Cross Country variants included. This route would be roughly 45 miles long, with Soho depot included due to it being missing on Birmingham Cross City as well as the next major station up the line at Smethwick Galton Bridge. A Class 56 would also be included with this route, as Colas examples of these locos are in charge of the RHTT workings up the Lickey and around the Malvern & Worcester area. The 323 layering into this route would be a given, with the GWE HST & 166 also featuring for the section between Great Malvern & Worcester. The Class 66 would also layer in for the other RHTT workings out of Kings Norton in addition to all other freight workings via the Lickey & Camp Hill.
