    It'll be back to TSC converting the tsw710 to the Aventra classes for TSC....

    For TSW would like them to revisit MAC, and as others have said, please add in that 17mile missing piece to Crewe...if they do go back to MAC would like them to also fix up the TT and get in some unbranded Northern and TPE trains for the TT since GWE-R showed that it can be done and majority of the player base didn't care/mind if they were branded or not..

    Crewe station would probably have to be be rebuilt by ATS as I can’t see them being allowed to reuse AAS model(and in fairness why would a company allow a competitor to just use their IP) which probably makes the the whole project cost prohibitive especially as a free upgrade.

    I love to see more ATS content and the east of England is virgin territory for TSW (hint hint). I know certain quarters moaned about the length of MAC but personally my only gripe is some of the signalling and I’ve enjoy many a run on the route and wouldn’t hesitate in opening my wallet for another ATS route.

    I too love and enjoy MAC, the detail is superb, however l would like them to add the football stadium at Edgeley and extend the route to Crewe, which l would gladly pay for.

    If ATS were to issue another route, it could be Chat Moss or a route in North Wales.

    I wouldn't expect that update to be free and would pay for the upgrade/increased route to Crewe and would suspect there would not be many who wouldn't..

    Its just a shame with the AABS WCML going from Euston to Crewe only for that missing 17miles with ATS preventing a full end to end run!

    ATS have a thing for Manchester & the North West. I doubt they’re much happier than us that Crewe got missed.

    If they make more routes it’s going to be that area or Anglia. I’d also consider that at some of that missing section on MAC, likely exists in some form.

    its not just edgeley park that i would like to see. stockport was the only place that i was disappointed with as most of the iconic buildings like the hat museum, the plaza, red rock and the bus depot are all just default buildings. even BnQ and decathlon could be made to be a bit more recognisable.

    ive also found at slade lane nothing uses the up slow junction. all the EMR stuff goes to the fast lines at longsight which is incorrect as dose some the freight ive done so far. without the TPE hope vally layer i cannot see anything else that should use it.

    One route I'd like would be a nice Manchester / Derbyshire Network route. Manchester to Buxton with a 156, plus if they can use the already built in the Glossop line section to Hyde North, add in the rest of that line down to Rose Hill Marple and New Mills. Could then do a 150/1 DLC too. It'd then also be prime ground for JT to do a Northern Pacer. You've also got the Aggregates freight around Buxton as well.

    In My Hope I Think They Will Do The Class 91 Because They Can Use The Class 90 For The Class 91 And Player And Basically Everyone Would Be Happy
