Agree it's bit disappointing we're still not getting an 800. I do at least hope the 801/1 is changed compared to Peterborough-Doncaster and Wharfdale ones so it's an actual 801/1 and not just a five car 801/2. The differences are represented properly on the Riviera 802s.
Sounds fairly impressive so far! If the 387/1 is done by Liam we are in for a real treat there. This is certainly a big project, so hopefully it can be pulled off... Alot of pressure on ATS here, as this is probably and genuinely one of the most requested UK routes. MAC had it's hiccups, but is now a very good route, aside from it's small size. If ATS have learned all the lessons from this and use them on KXP, they really are going to have created something special. The Class 700 will also finally have somewhere to stretch its legs on a dedicated route! There is potential for additional Loco DLCs later down the line with this route too... So I'm not really finding much criticism myself where the rolling stock in concerned. Every piece of rolling stock that needs to be there exists already (within reason), and any rolling stock that isn't there can potentially be added in future (such as a 91 or the 800 variant of the IET). Wishing ATS and the team all the best and good luck with pulling off such a mammoth task of a route and it must be a tricky one also having lots of community anticipation adding to that pressure!
i really hope so, but not having it would be a prime example of the corner-cutting we’ve become accustomed to over the years
Given the length of the route currently under construction, it already represents a significant amount of work. It would be nice to at least have a new train, such as a Class 91 or a 717, specially since the description of the included content mentions "and more," leaving that possibility open. I believe what is being offered is quite reasonable; including everything that currently operates on this route would be an immense undertaking and would drive the price up significantly. Down the line, there will likely be DLCs released to supplement this route.
