This is the best section on the WCML for TSW 2 as both London Northwestern Railway and Avanti West Coast operate trains to Liverpool from Crewe. Meaning there is both Stopper and Express services. The trains that operate this section would be the Class 350 (Desiro) and Class 390 (Pendolino).

    Assuming that dovetail can do tilting trains (which I believe they can't, but that's just a little conspiracy theory of mine) I would love that, a modern, overhead powered british route would be fantastic, I love the 390 and I love the Desiro so this would be awesome!

    Also they could do, I believe the 321 as a DLC similarly to the 313 for ECW, another favourite of mine in TS2020 :)

    The BR 403 (ICE 3) and BR 406 (ICE 3M) can tilt round corners you can see it on the schnellfahrstrecke round the tight corners

    No they can't the track has camber, the train cannot tilt.

    The only german high speed train able to tilt is the ICE-T and its diesel variant (ICE-TD).

    I recommend watching 2:17 on this video to watch active tilting in action, also if the italian documentary is not too annoying there are some great shots of the train moving in that video :)
    Also 4:47
