Tsw 2 Route Suggestion: Southeastern Mid Kent Line: Lewisham-hayes

This Southeastern line goes from Lewisham to Hayes in class 376s 465+466s and 707s
This route only takes 21 minutes to complete.

 

How long is the route?

 

It’s 21 minutes

 

I been at lewisham station irl

 

less than 8 miles, would be 10 miles including LEW and HYS
Service pattern is every 15 mins acts as a shuttle
Services to and from Cannon Street stop at all stations via Lewisham (including St Johns), Services to Charing Cross are fast to London Bridge from Ladywell, bypassing Lewisham

 

Last thing we need is another SE third rail route, particularly one as short as this.

 

Thanks for answering.
Would probably just be another short boring repetitive 3rd rail line then.

 

All train journeys are "boring and repetitive" unless something happens to change the aspects... so not in this game

 

But on some routes such as NTP when you have the freight pack there is more variation along the trip.
Also the handling of many of the modern 3rd rail stuff is very similar whereas doing a Manchester to Leeds run in a 47 is a completely different experience to doing it in a 40. Also not forgetting the class 101 with the manual gear changes and lapped brakes.
I just can't find the enjoyment out of driving the 3rd rail stuff.

 

47 - apply power, apply less power, apply brakes
40 - apply power, apply less power, apply brakes

101, yes you have gears, but do 200 trips in a 101 and it's pretty much the same as any other vehicle
101 - apply power, apply less power, change gear ... apply brakes

 

However the the sounds, and how to get the best out of the two locos is completely different which gives a different experience for the two locos.

Yes but it gets interesting with the timing of the gear changes and the brakes when you hit inclines.

 

Set this in the Slam Door Era 4-COR 4 CIG 4VEP 2EPB. Bonus can run ECW BML Rail Tours.
