    Hi everyone ,

    It’s been a while since I did one of these , but hopefully this is a good suggestion


    The route :

    London St Pancras International - Ashford international

    St Pancras - Ashford via ebbsfleet international would add more of HS1 to train sim world . It would make for a fun high speed experience , using TVM technology . Running at 225 kmph , this modern route would let you drive from London to Ashford in less than 40 minutes

    Rolling stock :

    There would be 3 different pieces of rolling stock included :

    The class 395 ‘javelin’ , already featured in southeastern high speed

    The class 373 Eurostar in the newer livery

    And the class 374 Eurostar
    CB04BF99-1D3C-43B6-8879-6B725C346DEE.jpeg


    This 64-mile /103 km route would provide a fun experience and new locos , and hopefully this route can come to TSW soon !

    Most of it already included in SEHS. Probably my least played and IMHO most boring route in the collection. Adding a few miles to Ashford isn't going to change much.

    You're better off doing the full route down to Dover Priory via Ashford Intl. It would be like SEHS only longer, even then it would be nearly 80 miles long. Just adding one stop onto SEHS for a 20 minute extra drive on the HS1 section wouldn't be worthwhile IMO.
