Hello all, hope your all well and good. Its been a while since iv last been on here. Iv wanted to share this because I see this train fly past every day i go to college. High-speed has always been my favourite. Arriva Cross Country would be an amazing route to explore in Train Sim World 2. Below this I will provide some PDF documents of the routes that Cross Country take, perhaps we can see this in a future roadmap?

Unfortunately a management change at Arriva has seem them start to withdraw their licence from TS Classic content, despite attempts to keep them on board. I gather Arriva is also up for sale by DB so I guess they have other things on their mind
I'd love to see a Cross Country route with the HST, class 220 and 221 come to TSW. Especially since the HSTs would hopefully bring the new MK3 carriages with plug type doors to TSW. However, like fabdiva said, DTG have had issues with the CrossCountry licence lately, so idk how likely it is to happen. Hopefully one day though when they are able to sort out the licencing issues.
No issue if you do "cross country" in the broader none company sense of the word, when they were hauled by Class 45's/46's pulling rakes of blue grey Mark Ones and Mark Two's!
Cross country is not a bad name as it serves Wales, england & scotland not only that it crosses amazing countryside areas. it links the cites and country together
