    The line between Northampton and Birmingham New Street is 49 1/3 miles long, making it only 1 1/2 miles shorter than London Commuter. The main stock that run's along this route is listed below. Service frequency between Northampton and New Street is around half an hour, with this increasing between Coventry and New Street due to the addition of AWC and XC services.[​IMG]
    Proposed Rolling Stock
    • Class 323 in London Midland livery[​IMG]
    Operates the Cross City, as well as a couple of services between Coventry and Birmingham New Street to be stored overnight in Coventry Yard and the New Street - International shuttle
    • Class 350 in London Midland livery[​IMG]
    Operates all London Midland services between Northampton and Birmingham New Street, as well as Walsall - Wolverhampton.
    • Class 390 in Plain White livery[​IMG]
    Operates all Avanti West Coast/Virgin Trains services along the WCML.

    • Class 66 in DRS (Old) livery + intermodal wagons[​IMG]
    Operates services out of DIRFT, as well as Daventry to Wentloog, which runs via New Street on Sundays

    Possible DLC's

    I am aware of these liveries, but they wouldn't fit the era in which this route is set (late 2017/early 2018)

    Honestly I want a WCML, but like in the 70s/80s you know? With the Iconic electrics of the Era

    Yes! So Class 86 would be finally possible, also it needs layers from NTP, TVL and WCL (for 37) and maybe from GWE Diesel Legends for many more additional stock, so route would be very busy!

    But not to busy as London Commuter is. So all layers would work on Gen 8 consoles!
