This 132 mile route Starts at Ebbsfleet International and finishes on the other side of the Channel In France Via the 25 mile long channel tunnel. Trains that Mainly run on this line consists of Eurostar E320 (BR Class 374) and the Eurostar E300 (BR Class 373). Class 374 Class 373 Class 374 cab Class 373 cab
This route is a lot longer than anything possible at the moment. And 25 miles in a tunnel with nothing to see would be sooo boring. I've heard Eurostar is almost impossible to get a licence from anyway.
Its not going to happen, same thing with the GWR 801 and 484 for Isle Of Wight. 1. DTG needs Eurostar's License 2. A 30 minute Long Tunnel would be boring 3. DTG would have to make the lower Platforms at Ebbsfleet Int'l
To be honest, I wouldn’t mind it even if it went slightly further; I would like to spend some time outside haha, but I highly doubt it will happen for the same reasons above.
No it would make more sense, from Paris Nord to lille with the connection to Roissy Airport or Calais (LGV Nord) , because I don't want to spend my time in a 25mile long tunnel.
Channel tunnel is actually 30 miles is 50 km. You can also do the LE Shuttle as a DLC locomotive. Basically you carry cars coaches and Lorries on special train wagons. Watch some Top Gear episodes where they actually use the euro tunnel Car shuttle to see what they look like on the inside.
Did the Shuttle once - never again - will stick to the ferries as that gives a decent rest from driving and opportunity to eat. Also Northern France isn't exactly scenic - it's flat and pretty featureless. There are much more interesting HSLs out there
why aren't the 800s not going to be a thing i know about the gwe route can't use them but for other routes that they operate on surely they can be used they got the class 395 which is Hitachi so that would give an assumption they can get the licence for the train at least
I dont mind getting another Hitachi Train but not for GWE, if DTG makes GWE in a modernized Year (which they probably wouldn't) then i would accept the 801 but i hope you get my point
i know about not getting it for GWE and i fully understand why it won't be a thing. it just sounded like you meant it would not be in the game as a whole as the 801 isn't just on GWML and there is more of the GWML that they could make in the future and it is on the ECML
How about LGV Est Paris To Bardecourt where you can get Bardecourt-Forbach-Saarbrücken railway or Strasbourg-Offenburg where LGV est becomes Strasbourg-Kehl-Appenweier railway. Those French German cross-border routes will have the problems of players triggering PZB Zwangsbremsung on SNCF TGV 2N2 X73900 and BB37000 alongside BR181 DB BR407.
