    Way too long.
    Not going to happen. A remaster of the current route to release soon, also no GWR license and Heathrow Airport deny access.
    Route's literally just been made and is ready for release.
    East Coastway and London Commuter (they are two wholly different routes) only share a terminus at Brighton.

    WCML is also not connected to either of those routes in any way. Nor does it go anywhere near them.

    Plus generally DTG and the associates shy away from route extensions, they would rather sell us something completely new.

    Although I like all of the ideas proposed, none of them are likely to happen. This is where I again ask dtg and third party developers to look into possible branch line mini packs as I have suggested previously further down in the suggestion page. This is surely a way that we could potentially end up getting the missing pieces from various uk routes. I cannot see any other feasible way that we can get these missing parts. This idea also allows for various era versions to represent different time periods when the network was more extensive than today. It might also be a good time to ramp up releases of locomotive dlc to better populate these routes which are very often sparse at best. I encourage members to look up my "Period Correct UK Route Filler" and "Branch Line Mini Packs" threads and perhaps show your support in the hope that this will encourage the developers to consider the proposals.
