    I though we could do with another section of the WCML So I have chosen my local line the 107-mile Section between Manchester Piccadilly and Rugby Via Stoke-on-Trent and Nuneaton

    This Route would only just overtake Kassel-Wurzburg at the Longest TSW route

    Stock Included:
    Class 331 EMU
    Occasionally Used on Services Between Manchester Piccadilly and Stoke-on-Trent

    Class 323 EMU
    Used on Stoke To Manchester Services

    Class 220/221 DEMU
    With the debut of the XC Licence in TSW the Voyager would be a nice new addition and would run between Manchester and Stafford

    Class 390 EMU
    The Pendolino first appeared in TSW last year as a DLC for the London To Milton Keynes section and would be seen on runs between either Rugby or Nuneaton to Manchester

    Class 350 EMU
    First Introduced to TSW in the London To Milton Keynes section and would run between Rugby and Stafford and between Stafford and Kidsgrove

    Class 158 DMU
    First Debuted in TSW 3 as part of the MML route would run between Stoke-on-Trent and Kidsgrove and between Stockport and Manchester

    Speaking from a considerable point of view, i think we should chill with the wcml for now, I mean we already have london- milton keynes and preston - carlisle and i think we should stick with them for a good 1+year or so
