Re: Which area should be reworked ?
@Midiangel Ireland I think should come with Northern Ireland, western Wales and northern Scotland as an ATS-priced DLC after the UK rework is complete. Iceland I think would fit the best with a Northern Scandinavia DLC.
I suppose though it would probably make more sense to have all British cities and roads to be a part of the base map, *except* the ports with ferries to the island of Ireland and the roads to them.
So Holyhead, Fishguard, and Cairnryan can all be part of the DLC, plus A55 between Holyhead and Bangor, A487 between Fishguard and Aberystwyth, A40 between Fishguard and the M4, M77/A77 from Glasgow to Cairnryan, and A75 from Cairnryan to the M6. Then let the rest of the new cities and roads be a part of the base map rework, because the base map UK probably should have had Aberystwyth (@tomprice98 has a better idea I'm certain as to which Welsh city to add, but I do think there should be another one added besides just the ports of Holyhead and Fishguard), Norwich, Inverness, etc. Same deal with Bayonne and Lacq in Vive la France <- Iberia, and likely Trieste with Italia <- Western Balkans.
Something like this (with more filled in in Northern Scotland and obviously a lot of shifting around cities and roads within the light gray exisitng areas, but you get the overall idea, green for base map, orange for Island of Ireland DLC):

I don't think that Ireland and Iceland make sense to come in the same "Northern Islands" DLC. Ireland will have a lot more in common asset-wise and culture-wise with the UK, and Iceland will have a lot more in common asset-wise and culture-wise with Scandinavia. It doesn't make much logistical or thematic sense to me to bring them together.

Re: Which area should be reworked ?
@oldmanclippy Your map makes sense to me. Holyhead and Fishguard are musts as they are the main ferry routes to Ireland, so they will 100% be included as part of any Ireland DLC.
Aberystwyth also makes perfect sense to connect the two ports on the Welsh side, and that route would allow for some scenery in Snowdonia to be added to the map.
Some other possible options:
Merthyr Tydfil/ Ebbw Vale would be nice to include some of the South Wales Valleys, and allow for the A465 "Heads of the Valleys" road to be added, as that is a major link between Swansea and the English midlands.
Milford Haven and Carmarthen/ Llanelli would add some extra West Wales representation and Milford Haven is one of the UK's most important cargo ports.
Wrexham and Bangor/ Conwy/ Caernarfon would allow for some much needed North Wales representation and would allow for the A55 to be properly represented.
Newport, Pontypridd/ Caerphilly, Pontypool/ Cwmbran and Bridgend/ Port Talbot/ Neath would be nice too, but I don't think there's enough room for them as they are too close to Cardiff and Swansea.

Re: Which area should be reworked ?
I definitely think a lot of those towns should be scenic at least. Especially the ones in the south, need to represent all the industry there. Llanelli and Port Talbot could get remote depots from Swansea, and Newport from Cardiff. That corridor is really dense with industry IRL so I hope they represent that adequately in-game. It would also be great to get some South Wales Valleys depots like you suggest as well. So many opportunities for depots there. I don't know how much mining still goes on there, but I imagine there's plenty of industry sites perfect for ETS2.

Re: Which area should be reworked ?
No mining in the valleys anymore, but plenty of industries. Port Talbot still has a large steelworks and a new train factory has recently opened in Newport. The Valleys themselves are full of large industrial parks. In terms of North Wales there is a large airbus factory near Wrexham, which would be good to see reflected in game. There is also some slate mining still going on in the North, so that would be something unique that SCS could bring into the game. Rest of Wales is largely rural and agricultural, so expect lots of farming goods sites.

Yes, I do agree.

But it's really fair to state that England (or GB) is in real need of improvement..!
