I think it's high time we started a 2018 Lego Trains thread after a pretty disappointing 2017.
2018 has to be an improvement right?
Quite a few people seem to believe that there is a "pattern" to the City train releases and according to this pattern we should expect a new Passenger Train, Cargo Train and Train Station in 2018.
@Duq explained the pattern very well on the 2017 Trains thread.
In addition to these expected releases, there is also a rumour that the next modular building could be a central train station. Personally I find that a bit hard to believe but you never know!
