I'd so much rather see this route set prior to 2026 because I absolutely despise GBR and will throw a party if GBR fails and we get a second privatisation. Other than that I like your suggestion though knowing the devs, I feel they'd cut the route at Ashford or Tonbridge instead of going all the way to Dover or Ramsgate
Great British Railways is about the railways under public ownership and building a railway that Britain can be proud of.
I'm aware of that, but I'm not convinced everyone's going to be proud, it's infurating that these modern, character-deprived emu's are all gonna be turned out in the same livery so there'll be next to nothing interesting on the passenger side of the UK's railways in future.
