What Modern Day Uk Route Would You Like To See In The Upcoming Tsw Game Release Later This Year

It was JT who did HV for TSC.

 

A section of the Highland Mainline... Perth to Aviemore would be fantastic. That being said for a full self contained route then the Borders Railway is a no brainer with rolling stock already in the game and a favourable time and distance akin to most TSW routes.

 

Just trains did the hope valley for TSC

 

JT did Hope Valley for TSC, ATS did Liverpool-Manchester.

EDIT: Apologies, didn't realise there were already a dozen replies, I need to go back to bed.

 

Would this not be part Midland Mainline, Sheffield to Derby?

Could the Doncaster / Sheffield be TransPennine Route South?

 

Harrogate Loop, Durham Coast Line, a section of the ECML North of Newcastle, Calder valley line, NYMR, Grantham-Skegness

 

I think with this they could add the S7 stock for section of the District/H&C line that runs parralel between Bromley by Bow and Upminister. 14 stops id say is enough to warrant this.

 

Realistically, not likely. This route would already need one new train (357) and a 720 to either start from scratch or adapt from the 710 model. I'd rather have both of those and compromise on faux-D78 stock.

 

C2C used 387s for some time so they could always rehash those till we get 357s or 720s.

 

this is not relevant to the post

 

Rehash in what? Possibly acceptable as AI stock on the Suffragette line at Barking to populate it, but as far as a modern c2c route in game is concerned, it has to be the 357s at minimum. There were only 6 387s in use on c2c as a stopgap until the 720s were purchased, the mainstay of the route is still the 357.

 

I'm hoping that we can have the Class 730 with the West Coast Mainline from Birmingham - Milton Keynes via Northampton & Fast line for Avanti services & Crewe services.

Not only with the class 730 modernise the TSW network in general, it'll provide extra variety with the class 350 on the WCMLS.
With the class 730 it would be great to see a remake (Yes a remake, not a remaster) for the Cross City line and potentially add the class 196 for the camp hill line which is fully operational now after it's construction.

Not only would it really shape up the cross city line, the WCML would have a lot of lively variety of trains and services to drive past for WCMLS, Trent Valley & Birmingham - Crewe.

My other alternative would be the Metropolitan line if it was ever feasible!

 

That proves the point I was making.

 

I'd love to see a Thameslink route

 

We do need to include that operator a little more since after having the class 700! We need to make much use of this operator since we have the licensing to do so!

 

Away from my usual area of interest I'd be very happy with a 730 for the WCML and an end-to-end Thameslink Route. Bedford to Brighton with a BML remaster makes most sense, the new locos with that could be a Class 222, maybe an 810 as a separate DLC with a newer timetable.

 

I've always hoped to see Waterloo-Basingstoke, with the branch from Basingstoke to Reading to provide route hopping with GWE.

 

It would make sense for a first TSW dive into the South Western area to take advantage of newly updated, licenced GWR content. If only for AI.
I think Waterloo to Reading/Windsor would really appeal, but the electric route. Plenty of up-to-date assets for the Windsor and Reading areas too.

Bring us the 450s, 455s and 710s. Not the 458s please, they're so ugly they cause me nightmares.

 

Have they announced the summer stream announcement date yet? Im sure it was around this time (maybe June) last year they announced the ticket to ride stream
