    If pondering a numerical key,
    perhaps attempt the use of 3.

    The third letter of each word spells HML. HML (Highland Main Line) is a railway in the North of England which is 90.3 miles long.

    Unless you're looking for "kookily" or "soymilk"...maybe not.

    No, I don't think they would make a Swiss route. That's Rivet's thing.

    I do think the MGB-thing is a coincidence. No way, they would do a Rivet thing, it would need way too many types of rolling stock, and it would need cogwheel-system set up. So, way too much work.
    I really would love it, but I don't believe it

    That is absolutely brilliant working that out! But I feel as if the track on that line seems rather narrow, doesn't match the countdown.

    The 90-miles reference is overlaid on a UK backdrop (at least it looks like the UK, to me).

    i think the 90 mile teaser links to preston to carlisle.
    and the current one links to another route

    No question, three routes would be teased in the UK, Americas, and Germany.

    And this is why a Swiss route cannot be it.

    Not necessarily. DTG has been known to sometimes deviate e.g. French TGV with TSC. Really anything *popular* goes.

    The train sound in the video is eerily similar so it’s a strong chance.

    Why not? Rivet have done British routes and that’s DTG’s thing.

    Rivet has made two Swiss routes for TSW 2. They’ve made three UK routes (four if you count Cathcart Circle). I don’t think they own the Swiss route rights.

    If your watching the feed it's definitely doesn't seem British from hearing the train sound.

    That feed isn’t of a British route though. The feed is separate to the 90-mile clue.

    But that assumes all the clues are for the same route. Presumably there are 3 routes coming based on past history.

    Oh is it. My mistake then thought it was the route in question.

    Oh okay. Am just guessing my thought from the YouTube feed. Didn't think 3 routes were in there.

    I've been thinking more in line of a traditional cipher. 3 words of 6, 7 and 3 letters, with "3" the basis of the cipher key. Tried various shift and substitution methods - not cracked it yet.

    If it turns out they just got JD's cat to walk on the keyboard, I shall not be amused!

    Schnellfahrstrecke Wien Linz ÖBB Westbahn Freight Wien Kledering to Linz Vbf. Cannot be the Swiss Matterhorn Gotthard route due to it being a Rack Railway like my suggestion the Pilatus Bahn.

    Outside The Norm, every 3rd letter 'TER'. TER (As far as a Google search suggests) run regional services in France.

    The last three words could also be re-arranged to KVB, which is a French safety system used on those TER trains.

    That means Leipzig Riesa the missing link between Riesa-Dresden and Rapid Transit. Another possibility I can think of is Rush hour Train pack ICE-T Class 700 Acela Express.

    I wonder if the 3 could also refer to the route codes. 3 being the 1886-1910 era.

    ...To solve, be focused and do not fail: Reflect one time and twice through rail. 2/2

    Does this clue mean anything
