    ECML Extension with 91 is much needed.

    91 and 225 are the same, so 1 new loco
    800 would require some reworking of the 801, but a solid base to build on
    170 would (pretty much) be a reskin and new interior
    158 would (pretty much) be a reskin and new interior
    150 would (pretty much) be a reskin and new interior

    To make it more feasible to happen, reskins only for the 1XX trains (not new interior, and changing speedos/cow thing on front etc. (if applicable) may make it take less dev time

    Eurostar, and the Southeastern route, as stated numerous times, not happening. Eurostar aren't willing to give a license (plus it's mostly tunnels anyway) and the Southeastern route is not going to be extended again.

    Also, asking for the current ECML to be extended to York and London won't happen.

    Bedford to Brighton duplicates a large part of an existing route, won't happen.

    You've picked the one type of rolling stock that doesn't actually have many scheduled services between London & Norwich.
    The 755s will be ousted from the route when a couple of Stansted Diagrams go over to 720s releasing enough 745s to run all London to Norwich services. So for this route you'd need 720 Aventras and 745 Stadler Inter-city units. 755s are for unelectrified or partially electrified rural routes across East Anglia.

    If we get the Great Eastern Mainline it will only go as far as Colchester, Harwich or Ipswich. Liverpool Street to Norwich is 97 miles and 17 stations, plus the 10 Crossrail stations on the slow (or "Electric Lines") between Brentwood and Maryland would also have to be modelled. It's far too much work for DTG for one release.

    Only a small number of services on C2C are operated by 720s as they represent less than a quarter of the C2C fleet. You'd definitely have to include 357s which are only found on this line and during their 25 years of service they were the main traction on the line. But C2C (or LTS as I know it) would be great. The LTS is a total of 78 miles and 28 stations so would also be a huge release.

    As my suggestion I would mostly like the tsw5 mml route extended to Sheffield also including a class 222 in the xtension and any German route that includes the BR 484 for eg like Ringbahn Berlin Circle
