I would first of all like to see more efforts in fixing bugs there's a lot and things not working properly It would also be nice if custom wagons actually showed up instead of remaining that boring stock colour Also the DLC prices need to stop going up there getting pretty ridiculously high I would like to see a wider expansion of United Kingdom routes with new routes added and existing routes expanded A class 56 & 58 would be good to see More railways going over bridges and under bridges and by resivours and thru rock canyons and passing thru the middle of town above everything would make a great view from the Locomotive cab You can find this on the robin hoodline and more which would make a nice overlay or possibly expansion with the current East Midlands route Derby to Nottingham There are 3 separate mainlines in the East Midlands are One goes thru chesterfield One goes thru shirebrook from Nottingham part of the robin hoodline The other one goes past welbeck colliery junction and is the part of the Derbyshire & Lincolnshire and East Coast rail LD & ECR it's the Nottinghamshire mid joint line joins onto the robin hoodline at shirebrook junction Shirebrook also has a signal box Some unique scenarios to the area would be nice ie larger scope on coal and mining Also taking items or picking up items from W.H Davis wagon works in shirebrook If not possible the route would be nice to have I know a lot will enjoy it by what I've heard and there's a lot wanting to see the robin hoodline With vast farm land and small towns and villages in-between and some viaducts with waterways and bridges for the Locomotive to pass under and over and a unique signal box at the start of a rock canyon there's certainly plenty to catch the eye on the robin hoodline and surrounding areas
I think from a passenger train perspective the Robin Hood line isn't exactly very interesting. 1 train per hour between Nottingham and Worksop and then an extra hourly one just to Mansfield Woodhouse... It's not as if the service patterns are interesting either as it's pretty much all stops (except Whitwell and Langwith Whaley Thorns get an alternating two hourly service) Maybe Erewash Valley from Nottingham up to Chesterfield then Sheffield would be more interesting with hourly faster services from EMR and a Leeds bound Northern service functioning as a stopper on this part. Plus the St. Pancras and XC services between Chesterfield and Sheffield (even more so if you include the line down to Derby too
Absolutely fantastic idea the robin hood line is iconic and in days gone by you used to be able to see the iconic annesley headgear of the former annesley pit as you passed the area part of the so called Hidden valleys area en route to hucknall Kirkby Mansfield and Worksop your idea is fantastic because also opens up possibility of the Sheffield to Lincoln line via Retford and Gainsborough Lea road definitely day 1 purchase
