New Cymru begins development pf HS2: New Cymru, and opens bidding for franchise  22/5/19

New Cymru has decided to begin development of HS2: New Cymru. The plan is for a high-speed mainline travelling across the capital of Terra, or Weiserria gardens at the least. The electrified line will run at 240km/h (150mph) using state-of-the-art EMUs and loco-hauled stock currently in development. The loco-hauled rolling stock bears a resemblance to the RENFE class 334 found in Spain. Initially, services will be operated by discarded high-speed commuter rolling stock, for which the first one has arrived. In order to operate these services, HS2: New Cymru Ltd. has decided to offer the operating franchise up to bidders.  These bidders will operate the services with the 3 Year franchise. The Emperor said in a interview: "This is very exiting news, making us one of the first nations to own a High-speed line. Initial plans are to operate around Weisseria gardens, however we are looking at a limited service around other parts of Holy Terra." Freight operations are also available, with a separate freight franchise up for grabs.
