I’m aware of the backstory; doesn’t change my opinion. Plus, I’m pretty sure that when the XC franchise expires it’ll just go into DFT since...

I’m skeptical about this route (I think DTG should have held off on creating BNS until they had the XC license) but those screenshots do look...

Yikes…

We pay more we expect more, not less.

The franchise does expire in October next year, after which I assume it’ll be taken into an operator of last resort since that seems to be the way...

Well that’s gonna be a huge problem for BNS since there’s just such a prevalence of services there. They really should try and reobtain the...

Thus far (like in every game franchise) the South West in Train Sim has been treated as a tourist destination only. Bristol Temple Meads, like New...

Same here. I was expecting some big stuff for BNS in regards to the layers, but nope. The price increase meant we could see bigger and more...

Interesting that they still haven’t shown BNS- have they got something else to hide? Do they not want to anger us? What’s going on?

I feel as though DTG should have waited to get other licenses before even touching BNS. It relies so heavily on other services and licenses DTG...

Can’t do that without ruining GWE though can you. DTG has to allow you to choose which liveries appear on which routes, it’s frankly stupid that...

That’s great to hear, It’s good to have a third party not tied to a single country, and the East Asia region is p varied.

No dice. I pay for a CrossCountry route, I get a CrossCountry route. I expect my train to fly to France in the middle of the track, or my wallet’s...

CrossCountry services are either really great or the worst thing in the world. I remember I took a HST back from Torquay (well, from Newton Abbot...

If you want to do modern routes outside of London, then it’s necessary to get the XC license. So it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re planning to...

It feels to me like the 220 has to come at some point. Like it or not, it runs on so many routes, and is absolutely integral to BNS especially.

Well it’s still early days. Could come in TSW3 later down the line!

I think once extensions are available it’ll be a tremendous asset. It’d be so cool to just hop onto a 313 and enter East Coastway after going from...

It seems like the general consensus is it will be in Scotland but do we know that for sure?

Usually I stick to UK routes (have no interest in freight and mainland Europe rail isn’t all that appealing to me) but if the Union Workshop stuff...

Unless I’m getting the question wrong, it has been confirmed that the route extends to both Bromsgrove and Redditch. So for all the Alvechurch...

Can confirm, I went there once and in the end I died.

I’d pay that much for bigger routes, sure. BCC? Not worth £30.

I’m not washing them myself!

Will we be able to leave BNS and head out to the local Tesco Express? I need to pick up some apples.

Roadmap today, right?

Most regions in Britain are steeped in stereotypes, I know this firsthand as a Cornishman. Ahoy; me hearties.

Two of the biggest routes to do. Those will take much longer than BCC.

OK, I’ll take that. Shame about the lack of other trains, a repainted HST would have been nice but oh well.

Ahh.

If I remember, I think it related to when DB were trying to sell off Arriva?

As I’ve said before though, the licensing issues with Arriva were a while ago now, and it’s far from impossible that they’ve patched things up.

Most of it does rely on getting that XC licence though. It makes you wonder…

Some Voyagers added would be my dream scenario.

We don’t know if it will just be the 323s yet. There’s every chance DTG have something else up their sleeve

I’m interested to see what the Rivet route is. It seems like it’ll be Scottish but I’m craving something around the Wales and Borders area.

It introduces the WMR and LNWR licences which means there are now a good few more potential routes in those areas- plus we finally get Birmingham...

Maybe they could explore the idea of linking routes together- they start with this, then they slowly work on building the full WCML bit by bit....

Cross City as a route will be fine, as long as they don’t cut any part out of it. Having an extra train or two would really benefit it, and...

Some people will conflate what they want with what the community wants, I’ve noticed.

The issues were a while ago, so there’s always a chance they’ve patched things up.

Exactly. We know they have the Avanti license and LNWR are a branch of WMR, but XC are an interesting case since, despite being the easiest to...

That feels almost impossibly slim. The least they could do is offer Wolverhampton and Walsall.

Yeah, Wolverhampton/Walsall is a must for me too.

Repainted HST that can go from University to New Street and to Wolverhampton if that’s included. Would need the license but the issues with...

Aha, does it say anything about the trains included?

Would absolutely take that. Route needs more than the 323 to feel alive.

Oh I doubt it too, but a man can dream.

I’m looking forward to New Street, but it’s going to look barren with only the WMR trains. I pray they add some CrossCountry stock (plus the...

That’s a good point- how do we know First are still against using their Dynamic Lines livery now?
