    Introduction:
    The London to Aylesbury line runs from London Marylebone to Aylesbury Vale Parkway with a length of 36 miles. Services are operated by Chiltern Railways, although Metropolitan line services run as far as Amersham.
    Here is a route map:

    For the sake of playability, the Met lines to Chesham, Watford and Baker Street should also be included.

    Why this route should be made:
    -Diesel Chiltern services as well as London Underground services
    -Brings the highly requested Metropolitan line into the game
    -Fast & slow Met line services
    -Views of London Skylines as well as rural Chiltern Hills
    -Chiltern trains share tracks with London Underground so there would be 2 signalling systems to learn (LU & NR)
    -Would make bringing a full Chiltern Main Line into the game easier since Marylebone would be already built
    -Other potential DLC that could be added (A stock and class 168)

    Rolling stock:

    Class 165:
    These would be seen operating the half-hourly Marylebone to Aylesbury service, with every other service extending to Aylesbury Vale Parkway. They have 2-car and 3-car variants.

    S8 stock: These would be seen operating Metropolitan line services from Baker Street to Amersham, Chesham and Watford. They are formed of 8 coaches.

    Layers:
    -The 1972 stock could represent AI Jubilee line services between Finchley Road and Wembley Park
    -The S stock could be seen running District line services at Barking (GOBLIN), and Hammersmith & City line services between Paddington and Westbourne Park (GWE).
    -The class 165 could be seen at West Ealing (GWE) to represent the daily Chiltern service that used to run.

    Here is a cab ride of the route:

    Thanks for reading the suggestion.

    Top route here, dont' it? :) Already been suggested many times in the past (by me & others)! Personally, would also include the Aylesbury–Princes Risborough branch. Just to add that extra "rural" touch to the route. Also like the idea of having the two initial side-by stretches (LU to Baker Street & Chiltern to Marylebone). It's not often you see an Underground and standard Line so well integrated. First-day purchase here! :D
