Calling Tim Court RE MidEast UK

Tim

When this new Mideast route is [eventually

] released, will it be electrified with gantries or not? I got a bit annoyed when 3.0 and 3.1 weren't, especially as it is lectified in real life. If it aint, I'll just do what I did last time- electrify it with a wire height of 1000m!!! Prevents me from seeing the wires (Which look stupid without gantries) anyway.

I think tims mid east route was base in the early to mid 80's
which at this point it wasn't electrified

And version 4 is set in the late 70's!

The route is/ will not be electrified purely because it is and always has been based in the 1970-80 era to give the biggest range of stock to run on the route, also with Mideast it has more branchlines than ECML this time - which are all non electrified anyway.

If you want a good long stretch of electric watch out for WCML
due someday runs from euston to wolverhampton
