    I know the GWR variant has been mentioned quite a bit, and I’m sure it was even possibly mooted at one point.

    Riviera Line remains probably my favourite DLC as I’ve mentioned many a time, it’s been captured incredibly in TSC and now TSW, it’s been a holiday staple of mine throughout my childhood and still as an adult.

    But it’s missing one thing….

    A class 158! Now not an incredibly common sight on the route, however it could substitute for the class 166 diagram or have it’s own booked diagram as per reality.

    There is a Exmouth - Paignton diagram for the 158 which would cover driveable 10 services (as well as AI) and a diagram that runs into Cornwall to and from Exeter and Plymouth which would cover 2 driveable services as well as AI at Plymouth.

    Just something I’ve always wanted to see added for some additional variety in the game!

    Adam from Skyhook said a couple months back (unfortunately I couldn't find the comment because I forgot what thread it was on) that they were asked to make a GWR 158 (presumably by DTG) but they declined because they didn't feel it was different enough to the EMT and Scotrail 158s, and that other versions (Northern) were more appealing.

    It would be good for the Newquay route - that would be more appealing with a new train.

    Would be good if we didn’t already have another two coming, class 159 anyone?
