    That’s what I took away from that post. But let’s not get too excited.

    An extension would only make sense if a TSW6 route was, for example, Reading to Bristol and they were going to include the remastered London section as a single merged entity.

    Not an extension, no. However, some nice 'extras' to the route. I'll leave it at that :)

    Good to know.

    I get the feeling the core route for TSW6 will do be a GWE route but further south. One that makes use of the XC & GWE licences they just got. Maybe it'll layer onto the remaster. Who knows.

    I just wish they would move it forward or back a few years.
    If I had OCD it would be because of this route. I hate the unfinished OHLE in it, because it represents a short period of time.
    Said it many times but I would rather have it electrified all the way to Reading or remove the electrified bits once you get past airport junction.
    I'm sure it means nothing to most of you, but I can't stand it as it is.

    He is a beta tester. And possibly is working on the route

    I genuinely do suffer from OCD and I can't say it bothers me in the slightest... In actual fact it captures a part of history when the GWML was transitioning from diesel to electric.

    I somewhat agree it would be nice to have the 'knitting' go all the way to Reading, purely just to have another route to use the 387 properly.

    But for the most part I'm pretty happy with the period it covers.

    Well, I don't suffer from OCD but I will always prefer driving diesel rather than electric. So the way it is now or preferably set back aways is fine.
    Although I imagine if it were fully electrified I would still have the DLotGW to play with.
    I just wish it went a bit further, to Oxford and had at least one local branch.
