I have seen a regional 1 NW league for next season that includes 4 notionally Midlands sides:
Leek
Derby
Burton
Long Eaton

plus Huddersfield from Yorkshire.

Anybody seen any other Regional 1 leagues published?

Where'd you see that? I guess its because SW got the reprieve that its pushed some clubs up the country.

Just came via WhatsApp from Derby fixture sec.

Until I have seen other leagues it is hard to judge but it seems the NW league might be more of a North (SW) and the NE league more of a North (NE). Blackburn and Rochdale are furthest North teams in the league I have seen. The others around Manchester and the Wirral.

The Midlands league has has a South West Midlands bias to it for a while and with Newport (Salop) moving back to it (presumably) from North West and the departure of Derby, Burton and Long Eaton (plus Syston promoted) that looks even more the case.

That would make sense that they push some of the northern SW teams into the Midlands to compensate for the reprieve, and thus then have to push the more northern Midlands teams up north to cover for that too. That's all I can think of as the logical reason based on what you described, having not seen all the leagues myself either.
