I personally would recommend the following (in rank order):
1) London to Brighton (a must have)
2) WCML North (The Class 390/Voyager, Class 66, and Class 70 both make this route better)
3) Portsmouth Direct Line (The Class 444 also makes a nice addition to this)
4) Edinburgh to Glasgow
5) Scottish East Coast Mainline
6) Bristol to Exeter
7) Oxford to Paddington (new users to Train Simulator 2013) + the other previous default routes.
8) North East Corridor with Amtrak Acela (I don't usually like American routes but I have a soft spot for this)
Funny how we all have such widely differing views. There is no way I would say London to Brighton is a must have. If you are into ultra modern, commuter, plastic units then fair enough but if your interest is in locos then this route will offer about as much longevity as a chocolate teapot!
The only way to really offer any effective advice is for the opening poster to specify their preferences in terms of era/traction type etc.
Well my preferences are...
No steam, 1970s to present day (yes, including the ultra modern, commuter, plastic units that I love so much) diesel and electric locos and multiple units.

I would say Portsmouth, over Brighton, based on that set of preferences... I enjoy both.
