    Yes I think a great route would be from Portsmouth Harbour towards the West Country. Obviously I know it would be to large for one route but maybe in sections starting from Portsmouth Harbour

    I was thinking more of towards Devon and Cornwall but the above would be good

    Cant find any trains which go from Portsmouth to Exeter or beyond.
    You have to change at Salisbury or Westbury

    The distance would be to great for them to do it in one go. So Salisbury or Westbury could be the end of one of the routes and the start of another.

    A lot of DTG TSx routes are 100 miles or more. Admittedly the newer ones seem to be shorter, but they've just announced EUS - BHM at 113 miles, so portsmouth to Bristol is doable, especially as it's much less sparsely populated than the WCML

    Split into two would still work, and probably at Salisbury as it's a four way split there whereas Westbury is only a link with the GWML

    Great Idea for this route to come in to the game and I hope if DTG could announce this route soon
