    Hi,
    I read somewhere (not on this website) that the 323’s are being removed on Birmingham City Cross. What is the reason behind this and are they being replaced with a different loco?

    Are you talking about in real life, I would assume so but also wonder how does this relate to TSW?

    Ah, one electric " push and go " replaced with another. That's what we need in TSW. ;)

    Be sorry for the poor folks who deal with this in real life.

    I’m talking about in TSW. I have no idea if this has or will take effect in real life. I haven’t done my research on that.
    I was told that the 323’s were being removed from BCC in TSW. Hence my post.

    There soon to be replaced on the BCC irl by class 730's, I can't see how or why they'd be removed from Tsw.

    I heard they were being removed in game. They were keeping the northern fleet version (Glossip line). I don’t think so either. DTG will probably add the 730 as a paid add on at some point.

    Oh I don't know then do you have a source? I believe the WM ones are being moved to Northern in real life though.
