Thanks for the comments. Have a Great day!!!
Lovely, but wouldn't a Wikipedia link have been easier? Also how in any way does this link to TSW apart from we have GWR in game. One last thing too, I would have thought stagecoach would be bigger in buses than first, though buses are by no means my speciality. Edit- Just so I don't look like a fool the thread originally just had the wiki page for first group copy and pasted and there was nowt about swr.
Rivet Games tried to get the SWR licence for the new version of IoW Island Line but were unsuccessful. That's why there's an unbranded class 484 in the game.
They have a thread running on the suggestions forum for the Southwestern Mainline - which, also, is just a Wikipedia article copied over as noted in matt#4801's post here - so this thread is more or less obsolete.
No, I was just explaining how Southwestern railway and Great Western Railway are similar because they are owned by first group 70% I know DTG could get the license for Great Western Railway and Southwestern railway. (I know it might not happen but be grateful if it did happen) It is possible It will take time just have hope for the future!!!! Conclusion: Thank you everyone for your feedback. (Kindness is everything) "It's important to never lose hope in Train Sim World's future"!!!!
I wish we would get the SWML from Southampton to Bournemouth set in the South West Trains days like in TSC!! Class 444 and 450 aplenty.
