    The London piccadilly line service between Heathrow terminal 5 and cockfosters, including the heathrow T4 loop, as well as the Cockfosters to Uxbridge loop. This is operated by the London underground 1973 stock, or the 2024 stock, depending on the release date. [​IMG]

    Already been discussed ad infinitum that Heathrow is a no go due to security concerns.

    I think if DTG or Just trains were going to create the Pic line. They would have to do Cockfosters to Uxbridge because of Heathrow. Don't be disappointed about that, I travel on the Uxbridge line a lot and it has very frequent pic serves as well as maybe Met S8 stock as DLC from Uxbridge to Rayners lane.

    As long as we get the 1973 Stock before it retires from service I'd be happy, the route itself isn't going anywhere, but the trains currently running don't seem to have long left until replacement sadly.

    That is certainly not a problem. It is much better than nothing. London Underground is needed. The section where the Picadilly line does not serve the District line stations would be cool

    Maybe if it was going down the Heathrow branch, taking it as far as either Hatton cross or hounslow west would be great

    Hatton Cross would be realistic and great. They would need to include the Uxbridge branch aswell to offer variation. This route is more than possible. I think it is time for TSW4 to focus on a UK route as they seem to focus on foreign routes in terms of variation and length
