    There is another post about this to which I already replied more in detail, basically a Paris-London route would be roughly 400 km and the Marseille-Avignon on the roadmap is 96km, so there are practically 0% chances of this happening.

    St Pancras to Calais would be nice , doesn't have to go that further into France. I understand they had problems getting license permission before?

    doesn't give licences if the add-on is not freeware, and I know for a fact Justtrains dropped an Eurostar pack with a bit of LGV and the Class 373...

    What does Lgv mean again? I googled it and it showed me some sort of genital infection...

    Ligne a Grande Vitesse, french for High Speed Line

    So the Train a Grande Vitesse runs on the Ligne a Grand Vitesse :)

    Ligne à grande vitesse
    Roughly translates as: Line of great speed
    More commonly known as: High speed line.

    I'm not dying for spending 15-20 minutes watching lights go past in the channel tunnel to be honest, even if the shuttle service was interesting hauling cars and lorries I'd rather just have the domestic high speed services we're already due to get.

    Kind of the wrong attitude to have anything could happen like I want the Nottingham express transit system in tsw 2 doesn't mean it will happen but could

    One thing is to hope for something which is reasonably likely to happen, even maybe the livery editor on preserved collection, but that is a stretch already, but another thing entirely is asking for a route a full 3/4 longer than what we have (a full 400km route is crazy!), that is pure fantasy, and we would be better off by just accepting it rather than hoping in the impossible.

    Even if they decided to create such a route would you pay the price?

    Assume the Marseille Avignon is 60€ for 96km and is going to be the longest route yet.

    So it works out as 0.625 €/km.

    That means that your full Eurostar route would cost 250€ and would take at the very least one full month to create. It's not feasible.

    I'd like to remember you that Köln-Aachen is 70km (0.8 €/km), so the London-Paris would be just shy of 343€ applying that pricing model.

    Your words not mine, anyway yeah a more reasonable stretch of Eurostar routing would be cool

    We could get a section of this route but referring to a previous comment in this forum if there's issue with licensing then this route wouldn't come to fruition. Although an extension from Avignon to Lyon would be nice.

    [There is no e320 on the roadmap as far as I'm aware?]* Also Nottingham Express seem like one of those borderline cases which are very improbable, because it's a tramway and not a railway or subway/metro but I we can't be 100% sure, but they can't even create working railway crossing I personally can't see them creating a tram line...

    *I think I got you meant that we get HS1 where the e320 currently runs right?
