    Hello, today I come to comment on my suggestion of a route that would look great in Train Sim World 3, and yes, it is the well-known company called TransPennine Express. In this suggestion I will be explaining the route that would include the Dlc, the stations, new features and the rolling stock, let's get started! First of all, the route would start from Liverpool Lime Street station and end at Glasgow Central station, the total number of stations on this route would be 17 which are as follows: Liverpool Lime Street, St Helens Central, Wigan North Western, Preston, (from Preston you could go to Bolton, Oxford Road and Manchester Airport) Lancaster, Oxenholme Lake District, Penrith North Lake, Carlisle, Lockerbie (in Lockerbie you can turn right to the stations: Haymarket and end at Edinburgh Waverly or go left stopping at: Carstairs, Motherwell and finally Glasgow Central.

    Heres the map of the line I want to see on the game, it is the red line:

    Now let's see what happens with the features that I would love to see on the route:

    - Real announcements, yeah, I mean who don't like announcements right? In this route would be the announcements corresponding to the stations that I mentioned above, an example: "Welcome to TransPennine Express, this is a service to Edinburgh, for your safety and security this train is fitted with CCTV, etc..., this service will be calling at: St Helens Central, etc and all of that announcements.
    - Different Npc's: the detail of changing the Npc's would be very good, for example, one that reads a newspaper, someone who talks on the phone, a student with his backpack and listening to music with his headphones, and several other ideas.
    - Working elevators: and yes, as on the Glasgow-Edinburgh route that the elevators work at all stations.
    - Bigger stations to explore, more decorated with small but cool details, etc...

    And finally the rolling stock that could be able on this route:
    1- Class 802 (Nova 1):

    2- Class 397 (Nova 2):

    2 - Class 68:

    3 - Class 185:

    And this would be all for my suggestion, I hope you liked it. Until next time!

    Nova 1 can be used for Modern NTP with Class 185 68. NTP is the Huddersfield Line

    225 miles with four pieces of rolling stock seems very unlikely. The best ways to see TPE in game is ECML York to Newcastle or WCML Carlisle to Glasgow however both these routes would be better backdated before TPE existed.

    Manchester to Sheffield would be the section that would get my wallet open most. Very scenic and the possibility of a decent freight offering to boot.

    Hi Matt! Well I know that DTG is veryyyy rare to they to put large routes and 3 or 4 trains. But this is just a suggestion, they will be the ones who choose which trains and which line to put

    The best section for tpe imo is probably Leeds to York/Hull, then we can have class 802s, 68s and 185s with some Northern 195/158 services too.

    Hullensian here, and as much as I'd love my home city to be included. The line between Leeds and Hull is very flat and very straight. I believe the 2nd longest straight in the UK. Not sure it would keep my attention tbh.

    Fair dos mate as long as you know it's unlikely and don't raise your expectations too high!!

    This would be great but there would be such a large part of me which would want this as an extension (I promise I'm not on medication) of NTP with a 25 and another DMU.
