Route: 26 Miles Long Features; Single Track, Diesel The Marshlink Line is a Mostly Diesel Only Line , Located in The South East Of England, It Runs For 26 Miles From Ashford International, Via Romney Marsh, Rye and the Ore Tunnel To Hastings The Marshlink Line Is Unique In It Being One Of Very Few Lines in Southeast England to not be electrified, despite proposals to do so The Locos The Class 171 is a 2 car DMU passenger train built by bombardier at Derby Litchurch Works, it is identical to the Class 170, except for the different coupler Stations Ashford International Ashford International is an International Station, serving both commuter and HS1 services, and more famously the Eurostar Ham Street and Orlestone Ham Street And Orlestone Or just "Ham Street" is a Station Serving The Village Of Hamstreet in Kent, This Station Is Located 6 Miles From Ashford, and Is Served By Marshlink Line Services Appledore (Kent) Appledore is a Station Located East Of The Town of Appledore, The Station Building Is a Grade 2 listed building, and is served by Marshlink Line Services Rye [Couldn't Attach Image Due to Image Limit Reached] Rye is a Grade Two listed station serving the town of Rye In East Sussex, and is a principal station along the Marshlink Line, Rye is also one of 13 stations in the UK To have a three lettered name Winchelsea Winchelsea is a station serving the town of winchelsea in east sussex, the station only has one platform, however, before 1979, it had two platforms Doleham Doleham is a small, single platform wayside halt Located in Doleham in East Sussex, It Is Located on the Marshlink Line, the station is one of the least used stations in Kent seeing only 8 passengers a day, it is a very isolated station, serving only a couple of houses Three Oaks Three Oaks is a station serving the village of three oaks in east Sussex, and is served by Marshlink Line Services, it was originally known as Three Oaks and Guestling Ore (From This Point We follow the East Coastway Line Up To the Terminus of Hastings) Ore Station Is A Station in East Sussex which serves the town or Ore, it is also (I believe) where electrostar services terminate from the East Coastway Line Hastings Hastings Is the southern Terminus of the Hastings line, and Serves the town of Hastings in East Sussex Possible Scenarios That Could Be Included Sprinting Sussex - Drive a Marshlink Line Service From Ashford To Hastings Getting Wet - A Storm is Rattling East Sussex right now, drive a train from Hastings to Ashford, but be careful for temporary speed restrictions and other problems you may encounter!

Great suggestion, the Marshlink route would be a good idea for a route when DTG return to developing routes in the south-east again I would love to finally drive a Turbostar in TSW (hopefully AP assist in this by giving DTG their soundest from the 168/170/171 EP for TSC)
Even better if it continued onto Eastbourne (42 miles total) for a full length journey. This would also include the scenic section close to the beaches passing near Bexhill with views of the English Channel.
I think sending it to Eastbourne would be a great idea as you could layer the LBN 377 in (not the dreaded ECW 377) and the 387 for East Coastway services to/from Brighton as well
Yes exactly, as well as being additional playable services between Eastbourne and Hastings along with the London Victoria services that were missed on ECW. The section between Eastbourne and Hampden Park is already modelled in-game too, so even more favourable to extend here.
I have suggested this route in the past but expanding it to include the lines to Dover Priory and Sandwich From London Charing Cross and St Pancras (taking over from AI at Ashford), to Canterbury West, Margate, and Ramsgate. - Eastbourne to Ashford International: Southern Rail Class 171. Calling at Bexhill, St Leonards Warrior Square, Hastings, Ore, Winchelsea, Rye, Appledore, Ham Street, and Ashford International. Time: 1 hour 14 minutes. - Ashford International to Ramsgate: Southeastern Rail Class 375 & 395. Calling at Folkestone West, Folkestone Central, Dover Priory, Martin Mill, Walmer, Deal, Sandwich, and Ramsgate. Time: 1 hour 4 minutes. - Ashford International to Margate Route 1: Southeastern Rail Class 375. Calling at Wye, Chilham, Chartham, Canterbury West, Sturry, Minster, and Margate. Time: 1 hour 13 minutes. - Ashford International to Margate Route 2: Southeastern Rail Class 375. Calling at Canterbury West, Thanet Park, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, and Margate. Time: 51 minutes. - Ashford International to Dover Priory: Southeastern Rail Class 375 & 395. Calling at Westenhanger, Sandling, Folkestone West, Folkestone Central, and Dover Priory. Time: 30 minutes. The reverse routes can also be played to London Charing Cross and London St Pancras International but only up to Ashford International where AI will take over.
