Jump in the cab of Northern’s iconic Class 156 Sprinter in Train Sim World 2: Whitby - Eaglescliffe. Race along the Tees Valley or take passengers to Count Dracula’s home at Whitby in this iconic route. Route length and stations The 41mi 21ch route features 20 stations at, from west to east, Whitby, Ruswarp, Sleights, Grosmont, Egton, Glaisdale, Lealholm, Danby, Castledale Moor, Commondale, Kildale and Battersby, where trains reverse. Trains then stop at Great Ayton, Nunthorpe, Gypsy Lane, Marton, James Cook, Middlesbrough, Thornaby and Eaglescliffe. Rolling stock and service patterns Services are operated almost exclusively by Northern using either a pair of Class 156 units or a Class 156 and 158 coupled. Both form four car sets. Services on starting/terminating at Battersby, Nunthorpe and Saltburn are often operated with just a single 156 unit Class 156/158 (NT) - 2Dxx Whitby - Middlesbrough (4tpd) - 2Wxx Whitby - Hexham (4tpd) - 2Wxx Whitby - Newcastle (2tpd) - 1Nxx Saltburn - Newcastle (1tpd) - 1Nxx Saltburn - Carlisle (1tpd) - 2Dxx Saltburn - Darlington (1tph) - 2Dxx Saltburn - Bishop Auckland (1tph) - 2Nxx Nunthorpe/Battersby - Hexham (1tph) - 2Wxx Battersby - Hexham (1tph) The route would most likely come with only a 156 but it opens up potential for a future Class 158 DLC as well as future freight DLC.

I took the train to get to an NYMR Diesel gala once and enjoyed the journey to and from Grosmont along this lovely line as much as the event.
Excellent idea and this can be merged with a Present Day Tees Valley Line that way you can run Whitby Hexam/Newcastle services to Darlington. Alternatively, this can also be set in 1989 with a Pacer 156/158 1989-1990 paint job then layer to Tees Valley Line. SOme cases a combined Pacer 156/158 due to them using BSI couplers.
