    The Line
    Running for a total of 65.84 miles (including branch lines), this huge network encompasses the large core section of the SWR around South West London out of Waterloo. The lines included are:

    Waterloo-Woking
    Hampton Court Branch Line
    Chessington Line
    Raynes Park-Epsom
    Hounslow Loop Line
    Kingston Loop Line
    Shepperton Branch Line

    Stations
    As there are a lot of stations I am not going to attempt to list them here, so instead here is a link to a map which shows the stations http://www.projectmapping.co.uk/Reviews/Resources/SWR NetworkMap1.pdf. Yes, this is the network map but it should be easy enough to look at...

    Operators and Rolling Stock
    1 operator will be featured, that being SWR. 3 trains will be included, these being: The Class 450, Class 455 and Class 458

    Services

    LW-Weybridge [ends at Hounslow] {A.I seen at Weybridge}: 2tph

    LW-Windsor [ends at Whitton]: 2tph

    LW-Dorking [ends at Epsom]: 1tph (455 only)

    Final Words
    I feel a network the size of this with a lot of different services would make an amazing addition to TSW2, especially with the upcoming Rush Hour update. With a lot of stations and a lot of trains all running at once, this will be sure to keep anyone on their toes!

    Yeah I only put the BML and North Downs Line on there for comparison really. I was going to make a suggestion on the TS2021 forum for an extension of the Portsmouth Direct Line for a South West London suburban style network like your idea, that's why I made it originally.

    I would love to see a network like this, it would be good to see Windsor included.

    Personally I would rather it featured classes 421, 423 and 455 in NSE livery but would be happy with a more modern version.

    There is a very good freeware route for TS1 set in the 1950's/1960's covering some of this network including going to onto Windsor.

    This route would be great for a base route in TSW5

    I think the 421 and 423 could simply be made as an add-on just like the Western Locos in GWE, or they could make an entirely new route for it.
