    Moin,

    Lots of talk is going around about extending the GWE to Oxford/Swindon/Bristol/Cardiff/Madeira/Buenos Aires, but one other way to make the route more interesting, (which it needs, hands down) I didn't see mentioned yet: All those little branches going off between Paddington and Reading.

    The longest of these (to Marlow) is some 10 km long, so without too much work for the devs they could produce quite an upgrade to this route if you gave us some of these little appendices. For the one to Heathrow we'd also need a class 332, 360 or 387 EMU, but all others appear to be served by the 166 we already have, or 165 at worst. Not included in the map are a few cargo-only branches, namely from West Drayton to Colnbrook and from Southall to Brentford.

    Greetings, Mike

    Yes this could nice for an GWE update
    For Heathrow they could use class 360’s since 332 and 387’s are hard to licence at the moment

    I'd be happy about ANY British EMU that I could get my hands on finally! :)
