Thanks Zarek! Are you recreating your local lines too? I know trains in the US aren’t as big a deal as over here are they really

@@JoeDobsongaming I actually don't have a PC, otherwise I would definitely recreate lines over here in America and make them as big as they should've been. Passenger wise, not cargo, until cargo becomes a source of income in the game!

The Transpennine route is just starting in on a massive upgrade. They’re electrifying it and upgrading line speeds in sections all across the route, and heavily rebuilding sections between Huddersfield and Dewsbury. They’re planning to move Ravensthorpe the other side of the junction so trains from Wakefield can stop there too. All these stations are also going to have passing lines where the Express can bypass the stopping trains. Your predicted speed on the line is a bit optimistic, I think 160 is a better bet. Your trains might struggle to keep the timetable you set. If they keep ending up at the wrong ends you could swap what trains come from where on different days. You could also edit ending times individually to make them end in the right places. I think Bradford is a good bet for an extension. You could continue the Calder Valley lines from there to Manchester, Preston, and Blackpool. Filling out the Liverpool area is also a good bet.

I know it's unrealistic, but due to game limitations, you could do a 'bypass' at the smaller stations [with waypoints] and loops to let the stoppers wait to be overtaken or just double track it all the way [expensive lol]. Edit: The stopper could me made to wait a minute at each of their stations to allow for the overtake.

Selby seems a fairly safe bet and can be extended to ‘ull later on then possibly a line to the capital by which I of course mean York the capital of god’s own county as for the timetable start at one end send a unit into service then run the route until it the end of service and park it up in the nearest depot then do the same from the other end and keep adding trains up to full service? As long as you have the right number of units on depot each night it should work right

To be fair when I used to work trains through there, if memory serves me correctly, you can still see the remnants of platform 6 opposite? Have I imagined that?

@@JoeDobsongaming you are correct sir. It could still be opened as a platform and there was talks of reopening the platform for increased services with a potential new platform at keighley aswell for trains every 20 minutes from keighley to Leeds and increased journeys on the Airdale line all over. With express journeys from Forster Square to Leeds Via Shipley. Also we were meant to be getting a train every 2 hours to London but currently that’s only from Harrogate. Many plans are in the works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Rail. Shipley is getting substantial works in the coming years with a reintroduction of a long since closed underpass to a new road and home scheme to the east of the station currently empty land. :) If you need more info :) I live near shipley (saltaire) I can try to help where I can :)
