    I jus thought of something and ever since London Commuter been out, I been meaning to ask. How come there is no playable railtour for that DLC...Has their ever been one in real life? Even using maybe a steam railtour???.I see other UK dlcs that have railtour and not one for BML..I'm jus curious to know.

    I believe it was simply forgotten. Just like how they forgot about the diesel railtours in SEHS.

    On BML, we did not get any railtours, due to issues with the timetable, and time-issues.

    On SEHX, we did not get any diesel railtours, because the timetable was completely redone, and we got steam railtours instead.

    BMLs timetable was huge, and getting these services to work and not conflict took up all the time, this is why we didn't get too many freight runs on the line until recently.

    i feel like BML needs the TSW3 treatment. with that should come layers like railtours for example and a class 700 to add life to the route

    Railtours add little to most routes. Seeing a class 20 is a thing, but only once or twice
    The 700 would be good so long as they can get the license for it in TSW

    Don’t see why not. We’ve got the Thameslink logo in the livery designer and as far as I know, DTG released a Class 700 for TSC.

    As I refer to... licensing
    Just because they have a license for one IP or in one of their releases doesn't mean that they can (Easily) get it in another

    Railtours do add quite a lot to certain loco add-ons. Being able to drive the Class 20 on several routes, rather than a single route, is quite nice.

    Absolutely, but a route with a class 20 timetable or where it operates the RHTT would be better than a single railtour run in my view

    In my opinion not every single route needs a railtour. I like it, but l2b is really bombastic even without. Best timetable now in tsw.

    I don't think railtours are a priority for this route either. There is plenty to do on it and if anything is going to be added to it then a Thameslink class 700 would be my first choice. A class 455 to replace electrostars on some of the London end services would be great too.
