The weekly ‘we need Class 800 on GWE” thread doing the rounds. But you’re new to the forum so you’ve got an excuse A couple of points: 1. Class 801 don’t operate on GWR. Only 800/802. 801s (along with 800s) operate on the East Coast with LNER. 2. What do you mean “there should be?” This route was made a few years ago and is based on 2015/16. So whilst I agree Class 800s would be a nice addition despite the time period/lack of electrification, you can’t say Dovetail have made a mistake.
While we're at it why not FirstGroup 802s and 397s on NTP? They would look so at home in old pre-rebuild Manchester Victoria!
For the Class 800 and 802, we will likely see them at some point (very vague) in the future on a different section of the GWML west of Reading if it were set in current period. It is a popular request and may well happen but we'll have to wait and see. Likewise with the LNER Class 800 and 801 and NTP 802.
