    I think I really like what they already are adding to TSW including GWE remastered but in the future of tsw5 then I would say London to Southampton. Including the Basingstoke bit through reading west to reading and layer GWE remastered and this route
    Trains included or Thought of:
    THE two obvious ones:
    Class 450
    [​IMG]
    Class 444
    [​IMG]


    Used for all mainline services
    Other rolling stock that doesnt have to be added but would be nice:
    Class 458
    [​IMG]
    Class 701
    [​IMG]
    Class 221/220
    [​IMG]





    Class 221/220 services can start from reading or Southampton on their run to and from Manchester.
    Class 701 can be used two Windsor and Eton(if added) or earlier up line/
    Class 458 on their outer London services


    If you own GWE revamped you get layers at reading for the Basingstoke to reading branch including 166 services to Basingstoke
    Another layer is the London Commuter for the 377's or East Coastway
    More 166 layers are Romsey to Southampton service


    Notable trains:
    class 158SWR
    class 159SWR
    class 158GWR
    Class 455SWR

    Swml is most likely as there is more info on people who want the route - people are saying what branches trains what they will run. It also is The most known

    Current list of existing mainlines:
    -GWML PAD - RDG
    -BML full length
    -HS1 Near-full length
    -ECML Peterborough - Doncaster
    -WCML EUS - MKC
    -Chatham mainline technically

    Yet to come:
    -SWML (now most requested)
    -Chiltern Mainline
    -Chatham Mainline
    -GEML
    -LTS
    -HS2
    -MML
    -North Wales ML
    -South Wales ML
    -Wessex Main Line
    -GCR backdated

    There's a lot of potential but I think that if DTG have the license for TfW, then one of the Welsh mainlines will come next

    That is true. I am assuming it is not possible. It has been recommended on numerous occasions

    Greater Anglia don't want yo give a license unfortunately, so the only possible way is a period before they existed.

    That is a shame as I only purchase modern routes. I am sure it would still go down a treat with others

    South Western would be a great route which I have wanted for a very long time. In particular the route from London Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour. That route offers the variation of services which would be great

    London to Southampton is miles better because of the freight at eastleigh and potential GWR layers

    I still prefer london-southampton due to eastleigh's freight and the basingstoke to reading line
