    Hello, I know we already have had some suggestions of thid but I think we should add this and add freight services and possibly with this if DTG had to they could add the sehs part of just trains running fom a short distance t0 keep it realistic. This will be a good suggestion and I hope you liek it. Trains, class 357, 395 and 730 possibly freightliner 66 and 90?

    This has been suggested a few times and is a very popular suggestion. I think that if we have C2C we should have the entire line including the "new line" between Barking and Pitsea via Basildon and the branch between Grays and Upminster. Just going to Grays will mean there aren't any suitable final destinations for most freight trains. With the whole line it could include the Freightliner Ports beyond Grays.

    It would be perfectly achievable as it's a similar length and complexity to the recent German S-bahn network DLC

    I think you meant Class 720. 730s are unique to the WCML and the West Midlands network.

    It would be a travesty if the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway didn't include each of London, Tilbury and Southend.

    No worries rob#7614, I have a blank spot when it comes to the IET and constantly misidentify them. We all do it!

    But as joffonon has said, the London, Tilbury and Southend railway should include the whole route. It's not very long, there's so much potential given that this is a suburban route with fantastic views of the city & docklands, a parallel underground line and, on the Tilbury loop, so much freight traffic. An absolute no-brainer for TSW, as it was for TSC but never happened. Meanwhile on the Kent side of the Thames Estuary we're swimming in content for both games from the developer who is based on the Kent side of the river.
