    Hi,

    As you may know, GRW (Great Western Railway) has introduced their new InterCity Class 800 trains to the Great Western Express line replacing the old Class 43's at the end of 2019. It would be great to be able to drive these passenger trains on the Great Western Express line in Train Sim World. In real life, these trains are being rolled onto the Great Western Express line. It would be great to see this train as either a paid add-on or even better, a free add-on.

    Thanks

    I think that it would be a good replacement for the HST but don't expect it to be free.

    Please Dovetail this would be an amazing add on, a Class 800 along side a Class 387 at Paddington station.

    The class 387 is on high demand but nothing has been announced yet, would be an amazing addition to the game as a future DLC with the class 800 too, overall the GWE route I think is crying out for an update to be looking like the current modern state with the new electrification of that route and we can only hope DTG annonces this update someday soon or side DLC.

    Adding my vote here. Take my money!! The HST is a goner. Don't get me wrong, I think TSW is an absolutely amazing work of art.

    It's not going to happen the route is set in 2015 pre electrification and years before the let's were introduced. Of they made a newer version of GWE set in 2018+ it could come but its extremely unlikely. Though if they made say the ECML set in modern day it could come as an LNER Azuma

    They can’t do that, the route is as it is. They would have to make the route again to have it all electrified.
