Welcome to the community! Hate to break it to you, but they don't really look at these in detail. Also, Abellio has rejected licensing to DTG in the past, so they probably would for this, too. However, I think the DB flints run on this line, too, and I'd love to see one of those! Side note: please refrain from copying and pasting wikipedia articles.
