    Hi all a route suggestion. Plymouth to Bristol modern day. In this route you would have Lira detop if i am spelling that correct and have the gwr hitachi's. Not much different in the lner hitachi's, HST's and a new train to the game will be xc voyergers. This route will also fill a small gap between the cornish mainline and Great Western Express which needs to be updated with power lines going all the way so you can run the 801 hitachi's.

    Unlikely to get CrossCountry due to licensing, but I'm all for it.

    Good suggestion, I would include a Class 150 or Class 166 (layered from GWE) to work stopping services between Plymouth and Exeter St Davids. CrossCountry have had issues in the past with licenses so XC might be a no go but I'm sure having it a GWR only route would do fine :)

    Another option though is to do it in the steam era (1960s) or diesel era (1980s) if (insert DTG/third-party developer here) wanted to develop this route in either of those time periods compared to the modern day ;)
