Only thing is if you click on it there is nothing there, it's a case of watch this space I think,but it will interesting to see what it is

I hope it could be a West Coast route as all others are now covered Either by MT or Europeanbahn.

Well what can i say, i am gonna say this, if its anything like East Coast we aint seen it yet we aint gonna see it.

Im not a big fan of Europeanbahn and stopped using their L2B route ages ago, and ive never really thought about west coast way.

Everything went dwn hill from the time they announced East Coast.

Hi
Haven't you got Thames-Mersey?
No commercial company will ever be able to produce such a large and quality route.....well not unless you'd be willing to pay over Â£100 a copy.
Cheers

Well said, I'm not expecting too great things, although i'll be happy to be suprised

Thames-Mersey really should be commercial.

I would have thought to get a realistic return on your time investment, plus paying all the stock providers, activity writers, object providers, packaging and marketing etc you would be lucky to see any return at all on Â£100. I would guess it would have to be nearer Â£250.

And thats Why it's free, because TM4 isnt the final version, come on you know what he is like, i wouldnt mind betting he is doing a suprise extention to Dorset coast already.

Convert the whole lot to UKFS, extend Dorest Coast up to Basingstoke then onwards to Clapham Junction. Then lay the link line up to the WCML. For the sake of tidyness an extension into London Waterloo would also be desirable.

Finally extend Thames Mersey up to Carlisle and diverge it to Edinburgh along the Waverley Route plus carry on to Glasgow on the WCML. Optional future extensions include merging with Scottish Central and the Somerset and Dorset Railway routes!

Piece of cake!

I think not!

It's a top class route! Lets face it, the quality exceeds certain comercial products by far. I reckon the final version should be commercial.

Well... I read that there has been discussion about merging it with London-Southampton...
