    I am happy for any era, but if DTG were to do this route with the Electrostars please (!!!) include more variants (as least the ones with the Adtranz lights and the 375/3)!!

    Ditto, I'm just wrapping up all 29 of the Southeastern High Speed scenarios and I'm starting to get bored with the modern stock.
