    This line would be a short all stops route set in 2010-2014 using the older style local trains that ran on this route. Including the 142 pacer, the 150/2 sprinter and the class 158.
    There is lots of scenery along the journey including the bridge in Knarsborough
    I'm general I think it would be an enjoyable route that I would pay about £25 to £30 for. I hope that you take this route into consideration, thank you.

    Yes please!!! Beastly traction in the form of 158s & 170s on that line, anything with 170s on it, I'm getting it :love:

    I would definitely buy this route if it had the 170 and 158.

    It would be great to drive the Pacers, Sprinters and Turbostars! It’s a shame the trains would be in the awful Northern Rail livery.

    :(
    The northern livery suits the 170 and sprinters very well

    excellent idea but why not make this in 1982 that way you can have a scenario Requiring yourself to run a extra train from Leeds to Harrogate due to Eurovision being hosted over there. Mastery reward the Convention centre in Harrogate being lit in honour of that event.

    It depends which livery. The modern one looks great but the older one looks like someone vomited in purple
