    Stations:
    York:
    [​IMG]

    York railway station is on the East Coast Main Line serving the city of York, North Yorkshire, England. It is 188 miles 40 chains (303.4 km) north of London King's Cross and on the main line it is situated between Doncaster to the south and Thirsk to the north. As of June 2018, the station is operated by London North Eastern Railway. York station is a key junction approximately halfway between London and Edinburgh. It is approximately five miles (eight kilometres) north of the point where the Cross Country and TransPennine Express routes via Leeds join the main line, connecting Scotland and the North East, North West, Midlands and southern England. The junction was historically a major site for rolling stock manufacture, maintenance and repair. In Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations by Simon Jenkins, the station was one of only ten to be awarded five stars.

    Ulleskelf:
    [​IMG]

    Ulleskelf railway station serves Ulleskelf in North Yorkshire, England. The station is 8.75 miles (14 km) south of York.

The railway through Sherburn-in-Elmet was opened in 1840 by the York and North Midland Railway. The station was closed on 13 September 1965 but reopened in 1984 by British Rail with local authority support.

    Selby:
    [​IMG]

    Selby railway station is a Grade II listed station which serves the town of Selby in North Yorkshire, England. The original terminus station was opened in 1834 for the Leeds and Selby Railway. The Hull and Selby Railway extended the line in 1840, and a new station was built, with the old station becoming a goods shed. The station was rebuilt in 1873 and 1891, the 1891 rebuilding being required due to the replacement of the swing bridge over the Ouse at the same time. The area around the station has been the location for the junctions of a number of lines, including the former East Coast Main Line route between Doncaster and York, as well as the Selby to Driffield Line (1848), and the Selby to Goole Line (1910). After 1983 with the opening of the Selby Diversion, Selby is no longer on the East Coast Main Line.

    Wressle:
    [​IMG]

    Eastrington:
    [​IMG]

    Eastrington railway station serves the village of Eastrington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The station is 19+1⁄4 miles (31 km) west of Hull on the Selby Line. The station, and all trains serving it are operated by Northern.


    Gilberdyke:
    [​IMG]

    Gilberdyke railway station is a railway station that serves the village of Gilberdyke in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was opened in 1840 by the Hull and Selby Railway, and until 1974 it was known as Staddlethorpe station. Today it is operated by Northern. Situated 17 miles (27 km) west of Hull, it is the junction for the lines to Selby and to Goole and Doncaster.

    Broomfleet:
    [​IMG]

    Broomfleet railway station serves the village of Broomfleet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The station is on the Selby Line 14+1⁄2 miles (23.3 km) west of Hull. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern. Formerly located on a quadrupled section of line with platforms on the outer ('slow') lines only, the station was rebuilt when the section from Gilberdyke was reduced to double track around 1987.

    Brough:
    [​IMG]

    Brough railway station serves the town of Brough in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is managed by TransPennine Express, and also served by Northern, Hull Trains and London North Eastern Railway. The station was originally opened by the Hull and Selby Railway in 1840 and at one time had four tracks passing through. The course of the additional outer tracks (and the two disused platform faces) are still visible, although these were removed in the early 1970s.

    Ferriby:
    [​IMG]

    Ferriby railway station serves the village of North Ferriby in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern. It is situated on the former Hull and Selby Railway, 7+1⁄2 miles (12.1 km) west of Hull Paragon. It has a slightly unusual layout, in that the eastbound platform is located on the main running line but the westbound one is on a loop which continues on towards Brough. The line from Gilberdyke towards Hull through here was quadrupled at the beginning of the 20th century by the NER but reduced to mainly double track again by British Rail in the early 1970s - the section from here westwards though kept the additional running line to allow it to serve a (now demolished) cement works next to the line at Melton Halt, so the westbound platform was left unaltered whereas the opposite one was extended outwards to meet the running line.

    Hessle: (look, it's the Humber Bridge in the background :))
    [​IMG]

    Hessle railway station serves the town of Hessle in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern. This is the nearest station on the north bank of the Humber to the Humber Bridge and good views of the structure can be had from the platforms when looking west. It was opened in 1840 by the Hull and Selby Railway and is 4+3⁄4 miles (7.6 km) west of Hull Paragon. The platforms were originally aligned as to serve the outer lines only when the railway was quadrupled early in the 20th century, but following the removal of the outer lines in the early 1970s by British Rail, they were extended out to meet the surviving centre tracks.

    Hull (Paragon):
    upload_2023-2-25_7-18-19.jpeg

    Hull Paragon Interchange is a transport interchange providing rail, bus and coach services located in the city centre of Kingston upon Hull, England. The G. T. Andrews-designed station was originally named Paragon Station, and together with the adjoining Station Hotel, it opened in 1847 as the new Hull terminus for the growing traffic of the York and North Midland (Y&NMR) leased to the Hull and Selby Railway (H&S). As well as trains to the west, the station was the terminus of the Y&NMR and H&S railway's Hull to Scarborough Line. From the 1860s the station also became the terminus of the Hull and Holderness and Hull and Hornsea railways. The station is currently operated by TransPennine Express, which provides train services along with Northern Trains, Hull Trains and London North Eastern Railway.

    That's it, I hope you enjoyed this one, I really think this will get made at some point or another for Train Sim World, put your thoughts below as usual, from me, TrainGeek08, I'll see you next time for another suggestion, bye ;)

    This would be brilliant in tsw, it would be lovely to have more sprinters and a (northern ;)) turbostar. Nice suggestion TrainGeek08.
    But I feel like it should be extended to Leeds (14 extra miles)

    Very good suggestion mate and would bring the turbostars which are a standard on regional services. Very nice route with interesting scenery and away from the south so would be something I would set money aside for and if the build quality is good buy (that is if the wife doesn't notice the money and buy another pair of shoes or something! ;)).

    Anything including my home city of Hull would immediately get a day 1 purchase. But Id rather see the lines to Hull docks modeled as well.

    There was some coal trains and I think Drax trains once used them, not been home for a few years so don't don't if the line is still in use

    Bring it on and for this route, it can give Calder Valley Line if made Northern Rail Trans Pennine Main Line Class 155 & 158 170 Northern Rail Paints while my Northern Rail Route Calder Valley Line gives the Class 195 here. If you look at the Northern Rail website some Hull trains do terminate at Halifax or Bradford Interchange located on the Calder Valley Line. For Northern Rail, this route might be Timetable N35 or N9

    Thank you, yeah the 155 & 170 would be AI layers at Leeds but the 158 would be a drivable layer ;)

    Great route suggestion love UK routes in North/East Yorkshire and it would be a good route for the 155 one question though, is would northern ever couple a 158 and 170 together and is it even possible; I'm pretty sure they have different couplers?

    never knew that, don't see northern ever doing that though usually they couple sprinters to other sprinters rather than a 170, but things like that is why we need custom consists although unrealistic for a scenario I would love to drive a class 158 coupled to a 170

    Get it now and for the game it will treat the northern rail version the same as an East Midlands Railway 158 in terms of achievement the same way as how the game treats Bremen Oldenburg Pressnitztalbahn Baureihe 155 as Ruhr Sieg Nord 155 which means the true mileage run is the 1550 km Power Surge achievement not Hot off the Press
