I guess it happens in many places, they do tend to be a big part of a persons identity so it can be quite insulting as they are often...

So you mainly want routes which are pretty?! Most of those routes would offer very little more of interest in terms of rail traffic than the...

Then people should research and discover facts. They don't even need to get off their rear ends and walk to a library anymore, it is in the same...

At least 20 years ago really. It has had much regeneration, starting with the Brindley Place development and the building of Symphony Hall back in...

Haha of course but Birmingham is more than just the sum of its parts. Also the route is as much outside of the Birmingham city council area as...

You aren't but those who don't like the choice seem blind to the fact that other people have suggested it or might dare have a differing opinion....

Where is this vast industrial wasteland you speak of?

I have friends who live near there, it is a nice part of Birmingham. I live around 25 minutes away and visit there regularly. I just get annoyed...

I don't know where all this Birmingham bashing comes from. Presumably by people who have A) never been or B) went 40 years ago when it was a bit...

There have been many complaints on here about the lack of recent UK content, I think there would have been a lot of moaning if DTG announced they...

It would be great to see it extended to Worcester or even better Hereford. You would get the contrast from the big city station to the much more...

Erm.....

It was a blanket statement, "I can tell this is going to be a bad route (full stop)"!

Thanks for being the community spokesperson! If you bother to look a couple of posts above this thread you will see evidence of at least five...

No it has never been suggested, nasty DTG!! https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/birmingham-cross-city-line.57444/...

Well I suspect this is going to be a DTG route not a Rivet route as DTG have recently made it for TSC. I would be happy to be proved wrong however.

The depot is on the New Street to Wolverhampton line at Soho. It would be nice if it was included but being DTG they don't often add many...

What about a class 126 in the Sc79xxx series pre 1972? That would cause a storm of resentment that is for sure!

If everything from the previous route is there in the revamped version you should be okay although if track layouts have changed then it may cause...

The first TSC Pendolino came in LMS livery and I think maybe a couple of other fantasy ones. It didn't come with a route. I think WCMLN was the...

From my regular experiences commuting with West Midland Railways that could apply to the complete to the complete DLC! My experience is the Snow...

I would curb your expectations unfortunately. I would love to be proved wrong but I think it is unlikely a network of lines will emerge, DTG...

Cross City has been talked about before so I wouldn't say it wasn't on their radar. It has recently been released for TSC so they have a lot of...

Yes I agree that UK content, well all content really has slowed down. Maybe it will pick up now TSW3 is released. Yes Spirit of Steam of course...

True but are DTG going to put time and effort into making a unit which runs for about ten minutes on the route?

I doubt there will be any extra trains apart from maybe a class 66 and some freight wagon. They aren't going to make a class 390 just to sit...

Longbridge is a shadow of its former self, most of it is an industrial/retail park now. I don't know if MG even assembly kits on site now or if...

In the model railway scene youngsters seem to often be seen operating steam and BR period layouts so I don't know why it doesnt seem to carry over...

The class 101 would be fun to drive on the Cross City especially keeping up with the schedules, shame there isn't a class 116 available. Taking...

Yes I fear the days halcyon days where we got two BR blue DLC's in a row have long gone. I also notice that those moaning and gnashing their teeth...

True, we do also have the ex Chiltern and Overground 172's which have the same front as the class 170's. They turn up regularly so both could...

It would appear pretty conclusive. Although of course there might be more to it than the leaked achievements suggest, or less even!

I agree I would love to see it extended to Worcester, or even Hereford as many trains from New Street terminate there. There are new diesel trains...

Utter rubbish! Birmingham has been rejuvenated in recent years and is still being so. It has a good mixutre of old and new buildings, they are...

It is only around 14 miles from Wolverhampton to Birmingham.

I would love to see that, they would only have to make a class 116 and maybe some airconditioned mark 2's. However, can you imagine the anger on...

I want to see the WCML as much as anyone else but ending at Milton Keynes for me would be a wasted opportunity especially as I can drive the route...

Really! People for a long time were requesting it for TSC, going back as far as I can remember. It seems to have got a good response for the route...

I think the Cross City will be a good route choice as it is quite varied scenery wise and including New Street adds possibilities for the future....

I have bought loads of items from them. I have only noticed the site to be slow on the last couple of purchases and even then it wasn't that much...

It was very slow the other evening when I was downloading two purchases, I had to restart one three times. Last night the website was inaccessible...

I make my own scenarios and have tended to avoid Kuju items apart from the HST and class 47 based add-ons so for me personally it isn't really an...

Yes they do look very good. Will picking them up. That is one less Kuju rolling stock/loco dependency required.

There are quite a few LNER routes, apart from the wonderful Stainmore and Weardale routes there are the Lincolnshire lines which is an expansive...

Indeed I like nothing better than clanking around Weardale in a Wordsell G5 or a Raven Q6. I too don't get too excited over the big LNER pacifics...

I would be quite happy if this was the case as long as the class 323 sounds are implemented properly unlike the as yet unfixed TSC version. It is...

I accept that and I would never expect to have the plethora of routes and stock available, in TSW as we have in TSC. And by the fact it seems that...

Yes that is my fear. We were on a roll in TSW1 when NTP came out, followed by TVL and the heavy diesels pack. There was much moaning and gnashing...

When I can drive Victorian tank engines along country branch lines, in my own time pottering about in station yards then I might consider...

Personally I think the current HST enhancement packs are very good, a complete new model would be welcome but the one we have is good enough in my...
