    Dream on.
    Whilst it would be nice and has been suggested before, it is such a new railway it is very hard to build a proper accurate route, also considering what other thinks people would like DTG to do (SoS mainly).

    If made this 3 miles 5km shorter than Sherman Hill 76mi 121 km since this is only 116km 73 mi. Another thing about the core section it's that if you are not careful you will instantly fail for doing stop signal overrun (SSO) the American NTSB terminology for a British Rail accident investigation board SPAD signal passed at Danger. Reason for this is that ETCS Level 2 combined with CBTC it's your train and another train behind and in front of you have shorter spaces. Second Challenge is the ability to stop correctly with the platform screen doors.
