Train Sim World 2 | Great Western Express - GWR Class 43 HST - 1C19 London Paddington to Bristol

(Driving the famous Intercity 125 on TSW2's Great Western Express route).

Today we're driving another Great Western Railway Class 43 from London Paddington to Reading, covering a distance of 35 miles and not stopping at any stations on the way. Leading the train is HST power car No. 43024

Great Western Express was the first DLC pack ever released for Train Sim World, coming out in September 2017 (long before TSW2 was a thing). The route features the Great Western Mainline from London Paddington to Reading (because DTG seem to have an annoying and insulting habbit of making short, linear routes with no branch lines) as well as the Class 43 HST, Class 166 Networker and Class 66 diesel locomotive. Personally, I would have added the following branchlines to this route so that it wouldn't be so linear:

West Ealing to Greenford
Hayes & Harlington to Heathrow Airport
Slough to Windsor & Eton Central
Maidenhead to Marlow
Twyford to Henley-on-Thames.
Extending the mainline from Reading to Swindon
