    The 801 currently in game is a good candidate for LNER. One reason being it is already in the game and the other being it would make more sense.

    TPE have 802s and Lumo have 803s. 802s are similar to 801s except bi-mode and the 803s are fully electric so neither needs too much work.

    Would be a good addition to Train Sim World considering we now have the Class 801 in the game.

    They should also add the short branch line to North Berwick which allow local commuter services ti be done, adding variation with the 385.

    Would definitely be up for this section of the line, best section scenery wise. Should probably come with as a new loco either a LNER 800 or Lumo 803. Cross country also a good candidate.

    quite good layers available to, though would be better to get Edinburgh filled up and Newcastle a bit more.

    lol I wouldn’t be 2 sure you are talking about DTG who love shortcuts 1 always making destinations automatic which is not true to real trains habit of copying and pasting audio for example 313 and 314 using same soundsets despite having different traction control so I wouldn’t be too certain of that

    I was kind of hoping that because of the small differences, it shouldn't be too much.

    I'm not too bothered by the 803 as Lumo isn't frequent anyway so really only need to tweak the 801 into a bi mode 802.

    Not too much to ask, is it?

    Still hoping for a Class 55 Deltic to be added in game.
