    My suggestions are as follows...

    Staines West-West Drayton-Uxbridge Vine Street branch lines set in the early 1960's with Class 117, 121 and 128 DMUs.

    Southall-Brentford Dock branch line set in the early 1960's with Class 117, 121 and 128 DMUs.

    Slough-Windsor Central branch line set in the early 1960's with Class 117, 120 and 121 DMUs.

    Maidenhead-High Wycombe/Marlow branch line set in the early 1970's with Class 117 and 121 DMUs.

    West Ealing-Greenford branch line set in GWE period (2015?) with Class 165/166 DMUs.

    Twyford-Henley on Thames branch line set in the early 1970's with Class 103, 117 and 121 DMUs.

    Gerrards Cross-Uxbridge High Street branch line set in the early 1960's with Class 115, 117 and 121 DMUs.

    Reading-Gatwick Airport (North Downs line) set at any point between the late 1960's and early 2021 with a choice of Classes 101, 119, 165/166, 206 and the soon to launch 769 tri mode (319 conversion)

    Reading-Basingstoke-Salisbury line set in the 1980's with Class 205 and 207 DEMUs.

    I really like GWE and probably will do so again.
    And I'm all for extensions. So yeah, I'm with you.
    I especially like the airport route since I always felt it looked empty and wanted to go there when driving by in the past.

    I also sent these suggestions to Rivet to see if I can stir interest.

    Reading Gatwick would be great. Especially considering they are adding the new Class 769 FLEX trains on the route when they come out.
