Why Is Dtg Focusing On Wcml? It Has Forgotten About Ecml And Mml.

I really doubt you’ll be getting anything new, it seems reskins are all the rage lately!

 

While I would certainly like to see a 70s era ECML route, the Midland was fascinating in its own right pre electrification, being a steam era time capsule. One of the last mainlines out of London to be majority semaphore signalled. The 127s would also offer something a little different, being one of the few 1st gen DMUs with a hydraulic transmission.

In terms of reference material, we're quite lucky that a cab ride filmed in 1971 all the way to Sheffield survives and is available on DVD in two parts.
