INTRODUCTION Today I'll be suggesting a route operated by London Overground (owned by Rail for London LTD) This route would be 1 hour and 31 minutes long with 20 miles of track ( 30 km) the line would be serving 29 stations in total THE ROUTE The route is 20 miles long (30 km) and has 29 stations in total and would use third rail with 750 volts DC ROLLING STOCK 378/1 CAPITALSTAR The class 378 Capitalstar manufactured by Bombardier Transportation as part of the Electrostar family this train was built from 2008-2011 plus the additional carriage in 2015 57 of these units were built with 20 of those units being the /1 variant the top speed of this train is 75 mph (121 km/h) the safety systems used on this train are TPWS/AWS 378/2 CAPITALSTAR The class 378/2 Capitalstar manufactured by Bombardier Transportation as part of the Electrostar family this train was built from 2008-2011 plus the additional carriage in 2015 57 units were built and 57 remain in passenger service and 24 of these train were built with a additional 13 built from 2010-2011 the top speed of this train is 75 mph (121 km/h) the safety systems used on this train are TPWS/AWS and TRIPCOCK West Croydon - Highbury & Islington •WEST CROYDON •Norwood Junction •Anerlely •Penge West •Sydenham •Forest Hill •Honor Oak Park •Brockley •New Cross Gate •Surrey Quays •Canada Water •Rotherhithe •Wapping •Shadwell •Whitechapel •Shoreditch High Street •Hoxton •Haggerston •Dalston Junction •Canonbury •HIGHBURY & ISLINGTON Clapham Junction - Highbury & Islington •CLAPHAM JUNCTION •Wandsworth Road •Clapham High Street •Denmark Hill •Peckham Rye •Queens Road Peckham Surrey Quays •Canada Water •Rotherhithe •Wapping •Shadwell •Whitechapel •Shoreditch High Street •Hoxton •Haggerston •Dalston Junction •Canonbury •HIGHBURY & ISLINGTON Crystal Palace - Highbury & Islington •CRYSTAL PALACE •Sydenham •Forest Hill •Honor Oak Park •Brockley •New Cross Gate •Surrey Quays •Canada Water •Rotherhithe •Wapping •Shadwell •Whitechapel •Shoreditch High Street •Hoxton •Haggerston •Dalston Junction •Canonbury •HIGHBURY & ISLINGTON New Cross - Highbury & Islington •NEW CROSS •Surrey Quays •Canada Water •Rotherhithe •Wapping •Shadwell •Whitechapel •Shoreditch High Street •Hoxton •Haggerston •Dalston Junction •Canonbury •HIGHBURY & ISLINGTON New Cross - Dalston Junction •NEW CROSS •Surrey Quays •Canada Water •Rotherhithe •Wapping •Shadwell •Whitechapel •Shoreditch High Street •Hoxton •Haggerston •Dalston Junction AI •AI 387/2 •AI 377/4 •AI 700/0 •AI 465/9 •AI 375/9 Train Depots NEW CROSS GATE DEPOT HOW MANY TRAINS A DAY •New Cross - Dalston Junction 56 trains a day •New Cross - Highbury & Islington 22 trains a day •Crystal Palace - Highbury & Islington 71 trains a day •West Croydon - Highbury & Islington 68 trains a day •Clapham Junction - Highbury & Islington 42 trains a day CONCLUSION This would be a great route in TSW4 thanks for reading this suggestion feel free to comment your opinion.
There are a few differences there are no power changing or neutral sections it also connects with Southern,Gatwick Express,Thameslink,Southeastern and DLR instead of it being the Bakerloo line at Wilsden Junction and Southern at Shepherd's Bush and this has more stations with 29 while the North & West London lines have 28 altogether
And it travels underground through what was the old London Underground East London Line Sub-Surface Railway Route in a similar manner to say the District Line, so quite different to a regular London Overground route.
Why not even extend it to Battersea park for the parliamentary service? I mean it shouldn't really be a big hassle should it
Parliamentary services are usually once per week at a specific time. Wouldn't be worth the effort for a once in a blue moon service.
You might as well add it since battersea park already exists in game so I'm pretty sure the tracks for it already exist
