    Given the recent announcement of a licensed South West Trains livery for the Class 350 for the Mildmay Line Richmond extension this could lead to plenty of opportunities for South Western Main Line routes in TSW

    So I Thought an Acceptable starting point for the SWML would be the 45 mile long section from Winchester to Poole including the branch line from Brockenhurst to Lymington Pier
    The routes included stations are:
    Winchester
    Shawford
    Eastleigh
    Southampton Airport Parkway
    Swaythling
    St Denys
    Southampton Central
    Millbrook (Hampshire)
    Redbridge
    Totton
    Ashurst New Forest
    Beaulieu Road
    Brockenhurst
    Lymington Town
    Lymington Pier
    Sway
    New Milton
    Hinton Admiral
    Christchurch
    Pokesdown (for Boscombe)
    Bournemouth
    Branksome
    Parkstone (Dorset)
    Poole
    Trains Included:
    Class 158
    Class 159
    Class 444
    Class 450
    Class 73
    Layers From Other Add-ons:
    Class 220
    Class 377
    Class 66
    Class 70 (I don’t know if a Class 70 has ever run this far down south so please correct me if I’m wrong and I will remove it from the layer list)

    I think 70s can be spotted around Southampton, don't know if they went down towards Poole (don't even know if there are any terminals near there)

    Could be wrong but aren't the Class 450, 464 only available for South Western Trains currently. We all know that EMT Class 158 dubbs your Class 159 so would be mix matched between realistic South Western & non South Western stock. Sure we don't currently have any Class 444 unsure what could be dubbed by.

    You forgot GWR Southampton - Eastleigh / St Denys.

    Be a great route hopping route at Southampton, if we gain West Coast way.

    Of note was thinking London Commuter opening Queenstown Road from Clapham Junction now this is a availble same trains from which call at Richmond mostly I'm sure. But probs won't happen. Like Mildmay line, or London Overground.

    It only does that one on route due to the lack of swt 159s

    I think you’ll find I expect to see a SWT Livery for the Sprinter if this route ever came to TSW if DTG didn’t do it I would not be happy
