The Waterloo & City Line, colloquially known as The Drain, is a shuttle line that runs between Waterloo and Bank with no intermediate stops. Its primary traffic consists of commuters from South West London, Surrey and Hampshire arriving at Waterloo main line station travelling forward to the City of London financial district. For this reason, the line does not operate on Sundays, except in very limited circumstances. As right now the line only operates on Weekdays. There is no service on Saturdays. There is also no service on public holidays. It is the fully subterranean line. It is printed in turquoise on the tube map. It is the shortest line on the London Underground at 2.37 km(1.47 miles) long with an end-to-end journey just taking four minutes.

If the light baking issues are sorted out, this should come to the game alongside another LU route that stops at Waterloo as it's way too short to be it's own route add-on, and it could be set in a different time period, like when the Class 487s were operating on it
Would have to be a gimmick route, maybe for £5 or a charity cause. But I did like the old Drain, particularly with the vintage trains and that distinctive bakelite smell.
That would be very boring. The old trains had a bit of style and character as did “The Drain” when it was operated by BR.
As much as this would be a joke route, setting it in modern day would at least add the 1992 Stock to the game, which could replace the 1972 Stock AI placeholders for routes where the Central line runs past. I'd pay a fiver for that!
