All DTG can do is Remaster what is in-game now; new and added trains/routes/services are not an option at this time, as we, the players, know it. It would be nice to expand on GWR, but licensing has been lost, and whether they will ever get it back is anyone's guess.
Well you have to wonder whether there’s a better than even chance this could be the TSW6 UK route, given the GWR licence announcement. Behind the scenes, we don’t know how long this might already have been back in place but DTG just kept schtum while they worked out what to do with it.
I stand corrected, I missed a few streams, due to family matters, and I just did not check a lot of things out, got a fair amount of homework to do.
