It would not surprise me if Rivet produced Plymouth to St. Austell. DTG will probably be doing a route out of Birmingham. Just Trains maybe be concentrating on one of their popular WML or MML routes. What ever the outcome it will be an exciting 2023 for TSW3. Personally I’d like to see the SVR Heritage Line Crewe to Manchester via Stockport or Styal. Birmingham Cross Rail to Banbury or afar! Exeter to St. Austell to link up with the WCL. Southampton-Brighton linking East Coastway. You can read the full roadmap here, be careful it will take a mighty long time to read and digest it all!!! https://live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-sim-world/tags/roadmap
I hope that if they do release WCML, there will be a Bakerloo layer (including gen 8 if feasible, pretty please).
The new US loco might be a Siemens ALC-42 since they are supposed to be an electric/battery version soon.
Ehhhh Not rlly, The Only American Route with AC is Boston Sprinter, Meaning that it's gonna most likely be Acela
