    You mean making the great Eastern mainline with Class 745 and 755 dual modes.

    I would like to see the geml but before these emus came in and the older loco hauled services ruled the roost on expresses.

    The Wherry lines from Norwich to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft with the Class 755 could be fun, especially as it's a little network of lines with some quirky features like swing bridges and request stops.

    Yes to GEML or anything in Essex to be honest (I'm not counting the 2 miles from Purfleet to the middle of the Thames).
    Stadler Flirt 745s only operate Liverpool Street to Norwich and Stansted Express services, if you want a realistic GEML you'll need a Class 720. A plan to move the 745/1s to the GEML London - Clacton and Ipswich services was going ahead, then it wasn't, now it's all up in the air now Shapps has left the DfT role.

    If anywhere in Essex deserves a route in TSW3 it's the C2C line. Would only need one new unit, the 357 as it could be based during the years of 387 operation.

    We 100% need the class 745. Best train on the network in my opinion. Of course running the Norwich to London Liverpool Street route.

    i'd personally really love to see norwich to sheringham route, a nice mix of semi-fast and stopping services, as well as an interesting reversing maneouvre every time at cromer station

    Yeah definitely with the 745 running services from Norwich towards Colchester and the 755 running towards Sheringham.
