    I reccomend that the London route gets expanded to Swansea. It’s not too long as it’s 164 miles. Also the GWR Class 800/1 and 800/2 could be added.

    DTG lost their GWR license, and they (probably) won’t get it back

    A) route is far too long

    B) no GWR license. All that can be done with the current route is a remaster (which does not include any extensions or new rolling stock).

    I thought I saw a post by Matt I think on the forums here that a remaster "could" be done but nothing new as stated due to the license being lost.
