I would like to see an upgrade to the GWR route, as the first ever TSW route it's definitely seen better days and could do with a refresh, also, I would like to see the introduction of the shuttle between Slough and Windsor & Eton Central alongside nerd favourite Class 143; also, I would like the shuttle to be operable on the Diesel Legends Expansion as the Class 101's on that route even have W&EC as part of their destination blinds.
Unlikely. Apparently DTG have said there won't be any more extensions to GWE. Also, pretty sure 143s never came anywhere near Reading. Other than that, it's a good suggestion that (unfortunately) probably won't happen,
Very occasionally when Wales and West ran the late night train up from South Wales to Paddington (later Waterloo), on the odd occasion when the booked 158 failed at Bristol we used one of the overnight stabled 143’s to work forward. Once or twice to Paddington, but they were not route cleared to Waterloo so on those occasions had to terminate at Reading.
This is a superb suggestion. Like the guys said, 143s to Paddington would be incredibly rare indeed. Also, to include this branch should also entail adding ALL of the other branches that I have listed on many occasions in various threads. If we ever did get the branches, which seems immensely unlikely, it would be best to bring the Class 165/1 for the standard timetable and the Class 121 and/or 117 for DLOGW. These were the usual motive power on these branches after and before 1992 respectively. I have also created threads with multiple scenery improvements that could be added to this route using my local knowledge of landmarks that are inexplicably omitted at present. I truly hope that this is one of the routes being considered for remaster.
