New routes

Post by 008VirginKing »

This one is not terribly imaginative, but I personally would like to see the West Yorkshire PTE 'MetroTrain' routes modelled for KRS!!

From Leeds, with lines radiating out to Shipley/Ilkley/Bradford/Skipton/Settle & Carlisle; from Leeds to Harrogate, then on to York; Leeds to Garforth, then on to York and Selby/Hull; from Leeds heading south-east to Castleford/Pontefract then west to Wakefield Kirkgate and south to Sheffield; heading south-east to Wakefield Westgate, then split for Sheffield/Doncaster; from Leeds heading south-west to Huddersfield (then south-east to Sheffield) and Manchester Piccadilly; and south-west via Bradford Int. and Halifax to Manchester Victoria and Preston/Blackpool.

However, this idea features 2 problems: great variety of stock (should be worth it though :)); and also the sheer size of the route (especially in MSTS but not sure about how KRS will handle the route aspects)?
On the stock front, we could make do with a limited number, eg. cl.158 in various guises, HSTs, 66s, cl.155/156, cl.150 & cl.144.

Just a thought though. Will make a nice change, and certainly lots of scope for activities, especially if KRS includes 'MSTS Bin'-style patches (eg. reversible driving positions).

PS. You might recognise this from a similar post elsewhere, but that's life! I'm sure not everything else has been said only once! :D

That sounds like a good idea, having living near to Sowerby Bridge railway station and seeing Milner Royd signal box from my house, it wpould be a good idea to drive on the Metro train West Yorkshire railway network.
