i´m not from the UK but i´ve been there for my work several times in the past.
In the Leeds area there where several big steel factories and lots of heavy industry. Maybey thats a nice area to start from?

It's Britain's biggest graveyard outside of the UK. Try reading some history before posting uninformed opinions.

First Capital Connect Route, Bedford to Brighton, Sutton and Sevenoaks. That would be good.

No need to make a seperate thread just for the poll so I've merged the threads together. May have screwed up the poll slighty so let me know if it needs changing.

Ffestiniog has already been done by Sarahagain and would be pointless to do again as her scenario is very good. Tallyn has also been done.

I think Thameslink/FCC could be interesting, although London-Brighton was one of the first routemap scenarios. ECML also exists as a routemap but its not very realistic, perhaps a realistic ECML that takes more note of the actual gradients etc. along the route would be nice.

I was thinking the Far North Line might make an interesting routemap too, it would be somewhere different.

The WAGN one was good.

Sarahagain also did the Tallyn (sp?) as well, if I remember.
