    Nothing new here. Similar trains. Similar route = No purchase.

    I agree up to the no purchase bit, because it's a no purchase right now for me, but I'm not ruling it out. It has to offer more in terms of being a standalone DLC. I feel this is a part of the benefit of layering and reuseing or building upon existing content not talked about that much. If DLC is so similar, it can't just offer simple layering benefits, it should extend and increase the usability of the overall catalogue of DLC. This includes avoiding multiple timetables separating DLC on routes as well as, possibly in this case, ending up with a disjointed experience hopping from one route to another at the same station and same (or very similar) era or year of timetable.

    I wonder what Just Trains are planning for Preston which is featured in all of their routes bar one??

    Sounds like modern railroading across the UK.

    Hopefully they'll have that fore the Core route of TSW7 potentially a class 730?
