Following from the success of Lumo, Grand Central and Hull Trains, I was wondering what routes could be viable for open access operators.
My suggestion would be Norwich to Leeds, my calling points would be Norwich Thetford, Peterborough, Stamford, Oakham, Melton Mowbray, Derby, Chesterfield and Leeds.
The major issue is paths through Ely North but that area could probably use demolishing and rebuilding.
Train would also use Syston North Curve and the "Back Road" through Barrow Hill to avoid Sheffield.
This would help prevent claims of Revenue extraction while providing lots of direct trains between places that currently require a change.
