DISCLAIMER: I know I said it was Northeast, it's not. It does go northeast a tiny bit until Shenfield, and then heads east and South. I have noticed that the Northeast does not have a lot of routes in TSW3. No, no, there is no Northeast UK route in TSW. Let's change that. EDIT: It's not exactly northeast, but it's a route I'd somewhat like to see. A route that we could consider adding to the game is the London Liverpool - Southend route. Even if people may not want to go to Southend on that route, people would probably want to ride TFL Rail or the Elizabeth Line in the game, depending on which era we place this route in. This route will run along the Great Eastern Main Line, running out of London Liverpool Street. The line would stretch through Stratford and up north to Shenfield, the terminus of the Elizabeth Line. From there, the route would branch off and continue up to Wickford, where the line to Southminster branches off. It would then go into "London" Southend Airport, even though it's literally not in London and finally, Southend Victoria. Route London Liverpool Street (GA) (TFL) Stratford (GA) (TFL) Maryland (TFL) Forest Gate (TFL) Manor Park (TFL) Ilford (TFL) Seven Kings (GA) (TFL) Goodmayes (TFL) Chadwell Heath (TFL) Romford (GA) (TFL) Gidea Park (TFL) Harold Wood (TFL) Brentwood (TFL) Shenfield (GA) (TFL) Billericay (GA) Wickford (GA) Rayleigh (GA) Hockley (GA) Rockford (GA) Southend Airport (GA) Prittlewell (GA) Southend Victoria (GA) Rolling Stock Depending on what era, the rolling stock will vary. Here are two options though. Era 1: 2017 Class 315 (TFL) Class 321 (GA) Era 2: Present Day Class 345 (Elizabeth Line) Class 720 (GA) Pros of adding this route - The northeast will finally have some sort of route, even if it isn't exactly northeast. - People can drive or ride either TFL or Elizabeth Line - For those who play in passenger mode, you can do a journey from St Pancras to Southend via Stratford Intl and Stratford Cons of adding this route - Moves away from more wanted routes - Only a small portion of the GEML will be in this route - Low choice of trains
This route is hardly east forget northeast! The East of Englamd is an area of the country which has no routes, the NE has TVL, and I think this needs to change so would definitely support this route, though preferably in an earlier era.
hmm... you do seem to have a geographical issue with your posts... this is East London rather than North East (and definitely not northeast UK) The line would be fine, and no issue with the suggestion other than a bit more detail on trains, runs, freight, seasonal?
DTG should add a service from London Liverpool Street to Southend Victoria, Colchester town and Colchester via Romford using greater Anglia refurbished renatus and un refurbished class 321 and greater Anglia class 360
If so it should be set in the last so that there is more variety of rolling stock rather than 720s and 745s everywhere.
I would also like to see the line to Colchester too, so this could work. I don't know about freight and other stuff, but we could run Class 315, Class 321 and Class 360s along this. TFL Rail and Greater Anglia would be operators on this route, and it would feature the GEML and the line to Southend. TFL Rail would operate all stations between London Liverpool and Shenfield. The Southend line would branch off at Shenfield and head east, before heading South to Southend Victoria, serving "London" Southend Airport as well. I put this same message on your forum as well.
