    With the soon update for the 313 to Seaford could you look into adding an update on the track layout at Newhaven Harbour to the new Aggregartes Yard at what was Newhaven marine station and possibly include more aggregate services to the new yard, that is called Newhaven AG TML DBC so the DB ews stock will run there. The wagons have to be split to empty them but I am sure you could do a hopper feed like at the Newhaven Yard aggregates terminal before Newhaven Town Station.

    I've included a few links that will explain it all the better.

    I don't think they would change the route because they are adding a loco on to it as it is meant to be set in certain time frame

    I can't seei it as a problem as the stock on the East Coastway package as it stands is current to today's running, the 377 and 313 class are still running and the 66 aggregate scenario's in use are still timetabled in the current timerframe. There is no suggestion that it's set in a past time frame.

    well in a sense yes it is. what the route currently is is how it's set out to be. its like me saying they need to fully electrify gwe but they won't as when it's set is before they fully completed it. I also think you miss interpreted what I was meaning I know the locos and that are the same etc but what I'm meaning is just because they are adding a loco doesn't mean they will change the route or even do it for that matter and for the people who want to have the current version may not want the version that you want. They also need to know what it will look like as well when it's finsihedand change signals on the route which is a big task for a small team.

    As well they would have to maybe change the timetable mode for freight if you were wanting to have them use it as well then as change the passenger services to accommodate this change
