    I'd love to see Network Southeast in TSW at some point especially with Dover Western Docks Station as its such a nice looking station. This Route would be with the Class 411 CEP or the Class 423 and the Class 419 MLV. I was going to suggest the route going to Charing Cross but that would be a bit too far at 70-80 miles.
    This route could go to either to TONBRIDGE or FAVERSHAM. I would prefer it to go to Tonbridge.
    Just after leaving Dover you would be able to drive next to Shakespeare Cliff and the English Channel. There would be maybe a bit of freight just outside Dover.

    The stations on the Dover-Tonbridge line are: Dover Western Docks, Folkestone Central, Folkestone West, Sandling, Westernhanger, Ashford, Pluckley, Headcorn, Staplehurst, Marden, Paddock Wood and Tonbridge.

    To be honest I wouldn't mind where in Kent a Network Southeast route goes, I just love the old rolling stock.

    Great suggestion, I'm too young to have ever seen NSE and I don't live near the area but I do love the rolling stock and livery they used. With the docks were they in use (freight or passenger) and if so how busy were they? It might be a good shunting area?
