    Which route does it run on? What is soo special about the unit? What are some details of it in regards to speed, passenger formations, etc. A lay person would have no idea what the 321 is.

    There are currently no routes in Tsw that the class 321 operates on, unless you modify it to the class 320 and release it as a loco dlc for Cathcart Circle.

    321's usurped the 310 on the WCML and in turn replaced by the 350's.

    They were also the de facto suburban unit on the GEML replacing slam door stock.

    Not bad units, sat in the motor car you still got a nice melodious traction "electrothrash" not the milk float or electric car sounds of more recent EMU's.

    Liverpool Street to Southend Victoria would suffice.

    It is only 40 miles long and takes around 1 hour. Which is the standard nowadays.

    Yes as you may hqve guessed I think it is of key importance that the old eastern region gets a representation in game.

    Never heard a 315 in honesty mate though I'd imagine they are similar to the 313s.

    Yes they all have them. If you saw a GN one without a pango I'd be worried!

    Do you think DTG would do the Romford to Upminster line London overground if they did the greater Anglia service

    I would say it would be unlikely to come in the same package.
