A Plea To Dtg

Please please please never ever ever get rid of the HST 2+4 consist formation. I just absolutely love it. 99% of my game usage is with the 2+4. I love the real life castle sets and although I know it doesn’t have the plug doors, it’s the closest thing it has. It is such a godsend that the 2+4 was included in the first place. Please never get rid of it. Every update I fear it being wiped and disappear forever. Haha

 

Beg your pardon, but what's a 2 + 4 consist for HST ?

 

2 Class 43s + 4 coaches between them.

 

Essentially the Castle Class HST.

 

Sorry mate, 'am not a Brit !

Thanks, makes a lot more sense...

 

GWR kept a few HSTs that were shortened to 4 cars and refurbished for use on longer regional services. They are due to be retired in the next year or two as part of a post pandemic fleet shuffle of the 80x fleet to release some 5 cars for these services.

 

In scotland. Scotrail use 2+4 setup hst trains.
