    I'll run through these In order
    • Scotrail's licence doesn't belong to the company operating it, so is much easier to get, however we do have Glasgow Cathcart Circle Coming
    • Cross Country would be interesting however where would it go?
    • I have suggested a SWR/T Route: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...ine-london-waterloo-portsmouth-harbour.39162/ however South West Trains is much more likely
    • Avanti seem on board with TS with WCML South so I wouldn't rule it out. There is a suggestion by another user which I believe integrates Avanti Perfectly: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/west-coast-main-line.23650/#post-286174
    • I highly doubt virgin will do it after the TS issues.
    • Transport for Wales I could absolutely get behind.

    Cross country maybe Cheltenham spa or Birmingham to Nottingham
    Scotrail Ayr to Glasgow or the GARL route
    Avanti west coast London to Crewe/holyhead
    South western railway Southampton to Portsmouth and London

    For Scotrail I would like to see a section of one of the Highland Lines but more likely to be Glasgow to Edinburgh, or maybe Edinburgh to Dundee.
    Birmingham to Derby would be quite interesting to showcase Cross Country.
    SWT well I would like to see something out of Weymouth but set in the era when the Quay line was still active. Either that or something suburban, maybe Waterloo to Windsor and on to Reading.
    WCML well you have to pick a 50 or 60 mile section, ideal would be Preston to Carlise or Carlisle to Glasgow but a bit too long.
    TFW, Newport or Cardiff to Swansea probably the obvious choice.

    I doubt they would do GARL as it's a fictional route tbh

    I would love a greater Anglia or c2c route. Also what were the issues on ts with virgin trains?

    Probably because of the Virgin brand no longer being licensed via Virgin Trains. Just a guess I ain't sure.

    Here's an idea for the creators of this game if they want a real life simulator game they should add BNSF and North folk southern trains and we should have real life routes where we should be able to travel from state to state like the trains in real life do that would make the game more funner and more realistic like it should be and would be awesome
