    Intro:
    The GWR London - Reading is the first British route in TSW. And in my opinion, it was great to start, but it is a bit old now, and could really do some upgrading. Which is why I'm suggesting this. It will cost £16.99, it will not be a new route, unlike the LIRR Commuter.

    Extensions:

    Oxford
    Swindon
    Heathrow
    Windsor & Eaton Central

    Cholsey
    Didcot Parkway
    Swindon
    Appleford
    Culham
    Radley
    Oxford
    Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3
    Heathrow Terminal 4
    Heathrow Terminal 5
    Windsor & Eaton Central

    New Operators:
    Elizabeth Line
    Heathrow Express
    CrossCountry

    New Trains:

    Class 332: Heathrow Express

    There will also be some bugs fixed, like the glitchy wheel issue, and there will be a scenery and timetable upgrade.

    As DTG no longer have their GWR License, they wouldn’t be able to make this,

    Due to the age of the DLC, if it was to be remade, it would be a new route as the current GWE route was built entirely different.

    No GWR license, so unless this can be obtained again somehow, the route will have to be set in BR days.

    Issues with Heathrow have been discussed ad infinitum, so this branch won't be included.

    No CrossCountry either, they don't seem to want to give the license.

    Yeah, they are starting to be a bit like Eurostar with their licence.

    It's nothing like that.

    It's more something like it just never happened.

    Couple of things I want to add. DTG have said they won't be re doing GWE as what I've heard. Can't do Heathrow as they don't wanna give us a contract. Also why the 332 when you can get a 333 with the airedale wharfedale route and just make the Heathrow livery for it.

    Like the idea for a remaster for the Elizabeth line.
