    I like this idea a lot. Maybe include the Guildford commuter lines too.

    A Waterloo to Guildford and Reading route would be smashing.

    Waterloo to Guildford via Woking and Effingham Junction, gives players the opportunity to do fast runs with the 444/450 via Woking, stoppers as well, and utilise the 455 on the commuter Guildford lines. As we are passing it, Hampton Court could also be included to provide more commuter services. Waterloo to Reading would be a new addition to the Train Simulator franchise, not appearing in TSC.

    Maybe setting the route in 2021 would be nice. You'd have the vibrant red ex-SWT alongside the dull SWR livery (you can probably tell which one I prefer lol).

    Could also introduce the 458/5 as payware. Realistically speaking though it will be set as modern as possible, which is reasonable but feels like it would miss a golden opportunity to provide an insane amount of variety.
