Your Idea for a new freight/passenger service

[Boothby97]

Hi everybody,
Right, now I realize you've had Open Access ideas on here before, but this one's different. This time can you state,
1) If it's Passenger, Freight or other (charter, hire contracts, etc)
2) What Locos/Stock you would use
3) The routes/areas or depots
4) What would be your company name (can include livery)

Thanks, Sam

P.S I'm thinking of an idea

[ainsworth74]

Type: Passenger

Route: Sheffield - Leeds (via Wakefield Westgate but not calling) - Shipley - Skipton - Settle - Carlisle - Motherwell and Glasgow Central. There would be summer only stops at some extra S&C stations and look into starting an early morning service from Nottingham and terminating an evening service at Nottingham.

Frequency: Look at running 1tp2h through most of the day.

Rolling Stock and Service: 221 to take advantage of the tilting paths on the WCML otherwise any inter-city style DMU (preferably 180s). Look at the possibility of acquiring either Bi-mode IEP or CSRE's Polaris in the future.

[1018509]

Class172. How did you do the picture?

 

[MCR247]

Looks like it was taken in Trainz, so I guessed he designed the livery on a Trainz 170

 

[Boothby97]

The train name has nothing to with that joke of yours, it was a random, I used the name elsewhere and discovered that when you say the S&M it comes out S and M, well if you change the and to an a (the first letter), it makes SAM, coincidentally my name.

Thanks, Sam

Yes, it was taken in Trainz 2006 on one if my unfinished layouts. It is a reskin of the class 170 model by snowsignal.

You could fit chains as seat belts and have your trolley dollies whip passengers who don't have a ticket .

 

[60163]

1) Passenger extra service from Chiltern Railways, on evenings of Wembley Stadium gigs/events
2) T&T 67s + about 8 mk3s
3) Bham Moor Street - Wembley (for Wembley Stadium), passengers pre-arrange for the train to stop at any requested station on the route for pick-up.
4) 'The Wembley Express'



1) Joint passenger venture between Arriva (usage of their bubblecar), XC and FGW
2) Class 92 + two mk3 coaches (to Bham New Street), Western + blood&custard mk1 coaches (Bham NS to Exeter St. David's), Gresley A4 + Gresley teak mk1 coaches (Exeter to Truro), then Arriva bubblecar (or any preserved bubblecar, really) for Truro to Falmouth.
3) Bham NS - Exeter St. David's - Truro - Falmouth
4) 'The Maenporth Mission'

This would be a once-a-year (plus return journey) spectacular, entirely for the usage of me and my family when we go on holiday to Falmouth. Innit. Completely ridiculous, utterly wonderful.
