    Could we look at a Class 769/319 for TSW?

    Layering opportunities are vast, so are liveries.

    • Manchester Commuter Routes: It could easily layer as a Northern variant running services into Manchester Victoria or towards Manchester Airport, utilizing both its diesel and overhead electric modes.
    • Great Western Express: It could be layered onto the London Paddington to Reading route. Historically, GWR used them for tri-mode testing and running local services along the Thames Valley lines.
    • Glossop Line / Woodhead: Since the 769s are based on the older Class 319 EMUs, a 769 could serve as an excellent modern substitution or artificial layer on Manchester-centric commuter tracks.
    • West Coast Mainline (WCML): The Class 768 (the freight/postal variant of the same train) could layer in for light freight and parcel runs along modern West Coast route iterations.
    • Thameslink (319) - It could layer as older legacy stock on the London to Brighton mainline or be used by players in Scenario Planner
    • GWR Testing on North Downs - between Reigate and Gatwick Airport
    • Southern - it could provide local stoppers on the surburban lines, if a class 455 isn't developed
