    Hello DTG's,

    Firstly, thank you for finally including the West Coast Mainline and the most important addition of the Class 390. However, as a further suggestion to the Route, I would like to see the Class 221 arrive onto the West Coast Mainline as a further DLC which would then complete the Line.

    I would really like to see this very nostalgic Train arrive into TSW before it is too late for you guys to get the Licence to use this Train.

    Thank You,

    Would be nice to see. Especially since the Voyager services aren't currently in the WCML Timetable.

    Hello Jplayz,

    I was Born in 2001, and the Bombardier started building their Voyagers in that same Year along with Alstom's Pendolinos. Therefore, both the Pendolino's and Voyagers bring back many memories and hold a place In my Heart as these Trains are the same age as me.

    I hope that DTG's include the Super Voyagers as they are very nostalgic Trains to me and the Voyagers would then complete the West Coast Mainline as they would then join their Partners, the Pendolinos.

    They are both such beautiful King's of the Rails that revolutionised our British Railways with their first operator, Virgin.

    Thank You,
    Gibson

    221 would need to come with a route, it's already been stated that its not viable developing a standalone 221 as a train DLC.

    Given Cardiff Branches is coming, it's possible the 221 could come in North Wales Coastal or Welsh Marches if they are developed.

    I think North Wales Coastal would probably be a good route to utilise the 221. Would also add more coastal routes to DTG's collection

    I agree with that. Holyhead to Chester or something. (I honestly forgot if they do actually go there..) I was staying in Rhyl for the holidays and we were going to Conwy to see the castle. At rhyl train station I saw the voyagers pulling in heading to Euston.

    They run an hourly service currently, but they alternate between terminating at Holyhead and Chester. Would be good for services and scenarios though as most services to Holyhead split at Chester, which would be interesting to see in TSW
