    as the uk rail network is getting renationalised I would like DGT to update all of the livery with the New GBR livery and all stations as well I think this will make future uk routes easier as well for DGT to do
    like London Charing Cross and Canon Street to Sevenoaks and Dartford
    London vic to Orpington and Faversham
    bedford to London St pancreas
    Leeds to York via Harrogate
    Upgrade the ECML from Doncaster Leeds and York for the Northen end and the Southern end from Peterborough to London Kings Cross add the ETCS L1 and L2 from Grantham to London Kings Cross
    add to the game the class 91 and class 800 9 car and 5 car and 10 car add class 700/1 FLU
    London Waterloo to Southampton central

    please feel free to add your own uk route in

    Well, the new gbr livery isn't even on a train at the moment so it wouldn't be realistic at all. Only been announced and revealed and it wouldn't make sense to make every train have the exact same livery. Same with the stations. And they still need licensing approval

    I've downloaded the GBR liveries for TSW from the Creators' Club. It's the future and I'm looking forward to it.

    For future content I'd say a bit of GBR and (if possible) keep the current licenses for future use as well. For existing content...no thanks, keep them as they are. I'd like to see SWR instead of a GBR version of it.

    It's happening. The new GBR livery is going to start to be applied to English-based trains in 2026.

    The one caveat is that previous attempts at standardisation of liveries in the UK haven't worked out as planned. From 1965 BR introduced a standard blue livery with express coaching stock being painted blue/grey and slower coaching stock getting all-over blue. In 1975 a white livery was introduced for diesel multiple units. In 1979 the APT appeared in a new "Executive" intercity livery, long before the older BR Green liveries had been totally replaced BR Blue, there then followed sectorisation liveries until 1996/1997 when British Rail was privatised. The old BR sectorisation liveries took over 10 years to disappear and it will now take over 10 years for the new GBR livery to replace the private sector ones, by which time GBR will no doubt have a rebranding with another new livery.

    It's a never-ending merry-go-round of changes. Nothing stays the same for very long these days.
