    BML is also a very fragile route so unlikely it could take any form of extension. They even baulked at adding a Class 700 layer.

    Maybe one of us can do a new clean (and extended) version of the Southern Network?
    The only problem we have is getting the Scematics of the Train Units, And the Editor wotking properly.

    And why is 3rd Rail routes "banned"?
    Is it because there is a problem with 3rd rail in TSW? Maybe we need to make new and better 3rd Rail tracks?

    Because of a few complaints surrounding electrostars and "one handled EMUs" and Southern routes.

    So there isn't enough on BML as it is to satisfy you? Bearing in mind there are eight different service patterns, most of them half-hourly.

    London Bridge may be possible though.

    London Bridge would only be beneficial if we had Thameslink services, as no other services from London Bridge use the Brighton Main Line south of Purley (apart from possibly a few peak time Southern services).

    Guessing the feasibility of the amount of work this would involve, it seems somewhat logical to instead merge BML and ECW together, adding the missing Wivelsfield to Lewes line, TOD4 lighting and the Class 700/1 subclass, similar to a SEHS-style route overhaul. BML is the only rush hour route not to yet receive any significant improvements, so why not for this upcoming Summer?

    Number 1 I thought services on southern use the bml to go to london bridge, Like via balham, Streathem common, so how isnt it only benieficaial with thameslink service for the tod4, lighting, class 700/1 subclass. i can agree but not merging it cos sehs didnt get merged at all

    The route doesn't need London Bridge for realism.

    I want a BML 'expansion' but what you have listed no. I want London Bridge, Caterham, Tattenham Corner, Horsham (via Crawley), West Croydon, London Bridge - Streatham Common via Peckham Rye. But its never gonna happen BML js at its full capacity. Also DTG really dont care about DLC they have released. Once its out its dead to them. They gave SEHS some love because its their 'signature route' as it passes their HQ.

    Something like south london network would be cool with all the commuter destinations most of which are listed above

    All I really want added to BML is the line to Coulsdon Town as its right next to the main line.

    Most modern trains are one handle control. That's just their nature.

    I do hope something is done with BML memory issue’s, would be great to get the 700 in aswell with that

    I do actually hope for a separate timetable one day for that route with the Gatwick 442 running, I can’t imagine the scenery is that much out for that to be a possibility, it’s the only way I could see that train being a thing.
