    Probably Trent Valley but an outside chance Preston to Crewe from JT.

    Or maybe they will all be sitting down playing Running Train, in sackcloth and ashes for the state TSW and its content has been allowed to get in to. :)

    There’s more chance of West Ham winning the next premier league than TSW7 being the mystery stream.

    which is never.

    I dont see much reason in making TV or any other route a mystery livestream, since this never happened for any kind of pre announced route release.
    For something like TSW 7 they would probably just go with another DTG direct.
    Personally the only real thing i would call a "mystery" is if the 420 somehow was completed.

    If they knew what it was wouldn’t they say? Perhaps there’s another route almost near dropping and they haven’t decided which one is going to drop 1st.

    or perhaps it’s not a new dlc and it’s all about the class 90 updates and the mystery is how it passed QA in the first place.

    An as yet unannounced DTG-made UK route shrouded in secrecy until now due to instructions from the UK government. It’s that GBR branded route I predicted when everyone noticed there was no UK route from DTG on the roadmap for the first time in history. A route with another GBR branded train that will also use the one they already released as a layer. I said there would be a reveal in spring when the livery starts being rolled out in real life. It’s that time now. Announcement article soon, stream on the 28th. Boom!

    Or it’s not that. But it is that. But it might not be. But it might be. Who knows? I guessed Thomas was coming. If I’m right, DTG are going to start thinking I have a spy on the inside. If I’m wrong (which is more likely) I’ll claim I was joking all along. I can’t lose.

    Or maybe they just want us to have something to talk about and not worry about the fact that nothing much has been happening around TSW6 in the last few weeks.......

    You don't have to buy it. But it's still better than liveries made with the Livery Designer.

    Maybe they are announcing a non-gimped Livery Designer? Did they figure out how to allow texture importing?

    I think they never allow that. Reason is licensing. That's why not al logo's are not available.

    They're streaming my birthday party next week.

    Due to my reduced circumstances ( retirement ) they'll be using the original Telstar 1 satellite from 1962.

    Those of you like me who are old enough to remember those first trans Atlantic TV pictures will get a slice of carrot cake in the mail.

    Things that are made using the current Livery Editor are already being removed for "licensing" reasons. I think we can all guess the actual reason.

    Reveal of the new UE5 train sim in early development. Maybe a few screenshots or a quick video.

    I know that's a longshot but...just a feeling it's gonna be something big.

    Be astonished if it wasn’t Trent Valley given AABS have been putting new art from it on their socials.

    If it was the Trent Valley preview stream I think they would just say it was the Trent Valley preview stream. There’s no need to be all mysterious over a normal DLC release. There’s nothing unique or special about that DLC that requires it to be hidden behind a guesswall.

    I won't be upset at all lol

    Just trying to think creatively since they're not usually so mysterious about a route reveal.

    Not to mention if recent patterns hold, we're at the point in time where they usually pivot work towards the next TSW iteration rather than announcing new content for the current version.

    We won't have long to wait to find out at least

    I can imagine DTG trolling us by planting all the seeds for us to think it is Trent Valley, and swerve us by revealing a GBR Southern Livery for the BML or ECW Route

    Perhaps they'll going to announce Tadami or something related to Liam's creations (387 etc.)! Who knows...

    On further reflection, I think "Mystery" will refer to something that hasn't been seen or announced before. I suspect very well could be the future of the franchise. Too early to announce TSW7 (I can't exactly recall when the Dovetail Direct appeared for TSW6 last year). So maybe something more over arching - the optimistic view that TSW6 will be the last of the current epoch and there will be a new UE5 train sim (with or without backward compatibility). Pessimistic view, is they're going to tell us it's all over. Sales are down, interest is down and the sponsers have pulled the plug - though I doubt that would be prefixed by a relatively upbeat announcement.

    I reckon it'll be just a normal stream and then everyone gets disappointed because dtg hyped it up for no reason

    With all the speculation going on right now about this route, I’m honestly starting to believe it’s release is near.
    I think I’m going to be a little upset too if it’s not the TVL release date lol.

    The other alternative could be that they’ve magically resolved the blurry textures pandemic. Beers all round ;)

    It’s a bit unusual they are hyping up a stream. I would like it to be Tadami but that’s just too good to be true. My only guess is Trent Valley Line but why keep it a mystery ??. Unless it’s something new they are announcing that we are unaware of.

    Maybe rather than TSW7, we're getting a Rush Hour equivalent for TSW6? That would be a surprise and would also give them another year to work on 7 (or whatever's next).

    Actually it isn’t, slightly inaccurate colours and the livery designer versions didn’t cause blurry textures unlike the real one

    Based on their tone deaf track record for building up the hype train then hitting us with turds - remember the "Season of Reveals" ending with Thomas and how well that was received? I would fully expect it to be either some more Thomas rubbish OR more GBR reskins...

    Sensible guess is that it is either Trent Valley or Preston-Crewe but the latter is usually the domain of TSTV not RFTV.

    From the April roadmap:
    "Schnellfahrstrecke Nürnberg - Ingolstadt from TSG
    We have a couple of shorter updates from TSG on their current projects, starting with Schnellfahrstrecke Nürnberg - Ingolstadt. The route is now complete, so the team at TSG will be looking to show it off next month along with seeing the München - Nürnberg - Express in action!"

    Next week is the last week of this month, so if they keep their promise to show it off this month, it has to be in the coming week.
