    Yes it can, 7 is 2014 onwards so it could be but then again pacers are diesel so no
     
  2. I doubt another Scottish route when GEML, WCML and ECML haven't even been done yet.

    Rivet Games have hinted that they might be doing a scottish route

    Besides, Rivet games are based in Scotland (Stirling), so they are more likely to make more of their local routes and more Scottish routes for tsw in general.

    I think the rivet games one might be a Scottish route.

    Had a good chat with Jasper on rivets forums, he/she/they said that the pic of Partick station means nothing about the new route.
    (sorry, don't know what gender Jasper is and I didn't want to get it wrong)

    A simple "They" would work...
    I would take what they say with a pinch of salt. It COULD mean more than Jasper is allowed to release at the moment, so denying anything gives plausible deniability in future.

    No. The system that you quoted is the common system but DTG uses a different system where 7 is modern day

    Let's hope so. It will be awesome if DTG and Rivet announce at the same time. Really keen to find out what they both plan on doing. The cherry on the cake would be Just Trains announcing their first project before Christmas. That would be the best 2 weeks off work if there were 3 new uk routes to enjoy.

    I severely doubt any route announced in November will be available for xmas unless they're VERY advanced in their dev cycle. Of the three only DTG would maybe be halfway possible to release on that tight a timescale

    Yea, I have to agree with ARuscoe here. I seriously doubt any more routes could be made for that tight a timescale. If anyone could do that it would be Dovetail but If they did it would be a very small route.

    so if is the east coast mainline,what locos do you think it would come out with? Would the 700 layer into the london commuter route? I think what ever route it is is , is already very advanced and it would be out before Christmas. Just my opinion.

    I only mentioned Just Trains project as they announced last December that they were joining TSW and we have heard absolutely nothing else since. I guess only time will tell.

    Maybe JustTrains did a colab with DTG for the new route and they haven't announced the colab yet

    It's not quite the same. For Cathcart DTG employed Rivet as a 2nd party (direct employed company) to undertake specific tasks.
    That's not what we're being told here, then again we're not being told all that much

    Hopefully Class 91 + Mk4 set for express and maybe a 365 for local traffic.

    Don't think I could stomach another Electrostar fest with the ghastly Knotweeds (Hitachi 800 - 802) thrown in.

    Better still give us Deltics and Paxman engined HST's.

    Maybe it's the Chanel tunnel route with Eurostar?

    It can't be, dtg themselves recently said that they haven't got a Eurostar licence.

    I would hope for the 225s and 365s, maybe layer on an NSE 313 and/or a Valenta HST. Maybe London - Peterbrough... OR...

    What if its the WAML from London to Cambridge via Harlow? That would be cool, with the Stansted and Hertford East branches... 317 thrash

    On the point of rail company license as said in this quote. What rail company license do we know dovetail and rivet games have as it would make it easy for us to figure out what the route is.

    Weird one but could the DTG route be the Cross City line or a London Overground Line? Though ECML/WCML also is plausible

    Agreed. Probably LNER Azuma (class 800)
    Could be LNER class 91(?)

    Agreed.
    Run by the 720 often though I’d prefer a 745.

    I doubt it would be an underground line. But we'll just have to wait and see

    I don't mind what route is annocend but I hope it is actually long so it's not like GWE where you reach your top speed but than have to slow down immediately.

    Consider this a leak. Probably only a couple of hours before it is announced today anyway.

    I doubt the Eurostar is a TSW picture. These are pictures that the artist who does promotional art for DTG has done and he doesn’t only do TSW stuff. The top picture does have the styling of a TSW cover shot which is why that is likely a piece of TSW artwork. So ECML yes, Eurostar, no.
