Boring with the S Stock, as already portrayed in the TSC version (if you can manage to run without a CTD). Now give me the A60's and then we would be talking.
Do some research before you comment, only nine out of the thirty four stations on this route are Underground, and most of it is above ground sharing tracks with mainline Chiltern Railways services.
I have traveled on the line well over a hundred times I do not think I have to do my research I think it is a very boring line and if you disagree then fine but I think it is a very dull line
I'll be disagreeing with you on that then, out of curiosity what do you think of the Brighton Mainline Route we have in TSW?
Looks like you are wanting to have just trains it's Maker in train simulator classic to come back and make it for train Sim World 4. The way it's going to look like you have the high quality of Blackpool with the underground gameplay of Bakerloo line except for 1938 stock which is made by Rivet Games.
Anything but dull, expansive views of urban London upon leaving Finchley road, cut and cover tunnels with a lot of openings all the way from Aldgate unlike the pitch dark Bakerloo line, Wembley stadium dominating the skyline from Neasden to Preston Road, farmland and woodland between Moor park and Chesham/Watford and also between Ruislip and Uxbridge.
Not to mention passing a train every 2 to five minutes depending on where you are on the line, you'll never feel unimmersed in the surrounding atmosphere.
The route itself could be quite interesting provided all extents were covered. Service pattern also provides for a bit of fast running, unlike the Goblin Line. However the S Stock in the JT TSC version is not very interesting or appealing sound wise. Their interpretation of the approach/speed signalling also makes driving extremely tedious crawling at 5 MPH, or failing to slow down and getting a penalty brake or SPAD.
The one good thing about is that it is busy but apart from that I dislike it because it is an electrostar route and in my opinion electrostars are terrible rubbish
Considering that part of this route is the world's first underground railway, it ought to be in game one day. And it would give S7s as AI stock to make Barking busier on the Suffragette line.
Good route suggestion: nice variation with a non-linear route for lots of gameplay and service options. Yes it will just be one train but lots of them can make you feel immersed into the route: even more if they actually have lots of AI passengers in the underground sections!
