    I was thinking about having a route from York to Newcastle via the mainline. This route is somewhat scenic and has a top speed on the line of 125mph, so is one of the fastest british railways. A notable landmark could be the angel of the north, the york railway museum and the viaduct that connects Durham station.
    Stations:

    And many other smaller stations like, thirsk and northallerton.

    Trains:
    upload_2021-10-26_19-57-44.png class 800 in LNER livery
    upload_2021-10-26_19-58-50.png class 91 in LNER livery
    Class 195 in northern livery
    Class 185 in trans penine express livery
    Trains in different dlcs which could work include the class 66, the class 150 (when released) and the class 43 in lner livery.

    Bring this classic TS22 route into TSW2. Class 800 on this route will serve as the base for GWR Classes 800 & 802. One of the scenarios might be The 800 at 8:00 to which you must drive the train from Newcastle Upon Tyne to York.
