I feel this contest is really pointless. Have passed over a year since I won last so I feel it is really useless to even be in the contest!
Don't stress about it - I absolutely never won myself! Just post if you have something fitting you like. Or make yourself at home in one of the few screenshot outlets. About half the time I disagree with the winning entry, quite often I like the other post from the same contestant much more.
A pair of the quintessentialy British slam door Class 421 4-CIG commuter trains head into and out of London Victoria Station in front of the iconic Battersea Power Station on the Chatham Main Line.
On the South London Network, a Southern Rail Class 455 heads out of London Bridge en route for Crytal Palace with the famous Tower Bridge as a backdrop.
Arial shot of rush hour at Waterloo Station, the Houses of Parliament / Big Ben & the London Eye. Locos:- Class 444, Class 450 & Class 455 Route:- Portsmouth Direct Line - London Waterloo to Portsmouth
I've brought this up before and I'll do it again: Can we please do away with country/location specific themes going forward and use broader themes? Not everyone has a route that features London.

You could buy a route containing London, if competing this week is important to you. I presume DTG run this competition to showcase routes and to encourage DLC buying. They are probably quite happy to choose themes that encourage this. In any case the theme is voted for, so why would they want to set themes that are less popular?
London Victoria (South London Network route) Class 377, 442, 465, 375 and 455\8 P.S. its best from what i have with London)))
OFF I have a guess he has some from yearly editions, it's more about principle. And that's fine, everyone has some. I was thinking about this and came to a conclusion that all themes are restrictive, e.g. steam. Maybe Summer practically isn't. Also, a theme like France is actually helpful as normally we see very few pictures outside the two main countries (could be a forum presence thing). Good morning New York, it's London Calling! A less stretchy one would be a train in Portsmouth bound for London. It's not Calling in London after all. Theme suggestion: Vienna Calling. Of course, Falco.

London Calling! A Class 91 rushes by the historic BBC transmitter tower on Alexandra Palace in north London on the ECML London to Peterborough route.
