EB is so lazy,that they are probably not bothered to finish it. :(
The only good thing is VCTRL which I like.
hate to say it but, it looks like your poking a stick in the works just for sake of creating a conversation. Its hardly a far comment to say that because so few updates have been posted and little has been said, that EB isnt doing anything. Perhaps we would rather spend more time working on the routes than updating websites.

All good things come to those who wait! :)

Id just like to know where this idea that EB and MT are rivals to build the same route?

Let's make this clear, European Bahn are making the East Coast Express, and Making Tracks are Making the Great Eastern Line (otherwise known as Anglia)

The idea of two companies building the same route, is very pointless. :roll:

Seems more like some people have no idea that the Great Eastern and the East Cost lines are two different geographical locations.

Yet another example of the laziness and sheer bloody idleness among kids at school these days - if they ever bother to go of course! And the Teachers don't hardly know any more than the kids they're supposed to be teaching. Why when I were a lad, our geography teacher were a right so and so, we'd get rapped on t'knuckles for not knowing the difference between East Anglia and East Coast, or India and Indo-bloody-China and where the bloody....

Oh for the days when you could look out of the train window and know which part of the country you were in!
Maroon for the LMR, Green for the Southern, Dark Blue for the Eastern region, Light Blue for the Scottish, Orange for the North Eastern, Brown for Western, (or was that chocalate?), talking of which, when we were lads on school holiday, trainspotting on York station, we would help unload the beer crates from the Tees-Tyne Pullman on platform 8 and get a Blue Riband chocky biscuit each from the steward.

Personally

I can't wait for Luca's CTRL route, if he's put as much effort into it as he says he has, it'll be a corker. I'm not to keen on the ECML route though, the train running in the video are well below EB's usually high standard of train detail, so I'll pass thanks. To be fair, its not fair to compare EB and MT, both are commerical route builders, but both take a completely different view on how to create a route. MT's only route so far has been high details and full of custom models which really slows the FPS, whilst EB's lack scenary, but are much more playable, and run well on less high spec PC's.

Anyway, I'm sure both compaines route will sell very well, and divide opinion on here for a long while yet.

As Anton said, there is no route that MT are doing which is being done by EB (or anyone else).
I suspect the 'East' part of the names is confusing some of our more easily confused readers...
