This is another commuter style route of similar length to TSW7's core UK route. This route could be a contender for featuring the most end-to-end services on any route in the game. Set in 2022. Route length: The route starts from both London Charing Cross and London Cannon street and then meet about a mile later at London Bridge, from there, you have the small, yet busy branch line to Hayes (Kent). That total route coverage is only 12 miles so not much. So then you follow the North Kent Line to Dartford, that would only add another 12ish miles though, so included should be the Sidcup and Bexleyheath loops. This brings the total track length up to 50 miles which is reasonable. But to go even better, the SEML from Hither Green as far as Orpington as well as the branch line to Bromley North could be included bringing the total route coverage to 59 miles. If 59 miles is too much then the line to Orpington and Bromley North branch could be emitted and then included in a route like SEML: Charing Cross & Cannon Street to Hastings or Tonbridge. Motive Power: Motive Power for this route should idealy the Class 465/0, Class 465/1, and Class 376. For an add-on the refurbished SE Class 707 'City Beam' could be made. Services: End to end: - Charing Cross to Dartford (vice versa) - Cannon Street to Dartford (vice versa) - Charing Cross to Orpington (vice versa) - Cannon Street to Orpington (vice versa) - Charing Cross to Hayes (vice versa) - Cannon Street to Hayes (vice versa) - Charing Cross to Charing Cross via Sidcup loop clockwise - Charing Cross to Charing Cross via Sidcup loop anti-clockwise - Cannon Street to Cannon Street via Sidcup loop clockwise - Cannon Street to Cannon Street via Sidcup loop anti-clockwise - Charing Cross to Charing Cross via Bexleyheath loop clockwise - Charing Cross to Charing Cross via Bexleyheath loop anti-clockwise - Cannon Street to Cannon Street via Bexleyheath loop clockwise - Cannon Street to Cannon Street via Bexleyheath loop anti-clockwise - Grove Park to Bromley North (vice versa) Other services: - Charing Cross to Gravesend between Charing Cross and Dartford (vice versa) - Cannon Street to Gravesend between Cannon Street and Dartford (vice versa) - SEML services to Hastings, Tonbridge, Ramsgate etc. between Charing Cross and Orpington (vice versa) - London Victoria to Gravesend between Lewisham and Dartford (vice versa) - Various ECS moves across the whole route. Ai only: - London Victoria to Orpington at Orpington (vice versa) Stations: Charing Cross Waterloo East Cannon Street London Bridge New Cross St. Johns Ladywell Catford Bridge Lower Sydenham New Beckenham Clock House Elmers End Eden Park West Wickham Hayes (Kent) Hither Green Grove Park Sundridge Park Bromley North Elmstead Woods Chislehurst Petts Wood Orpington Lee Mottingham New Eltham Sidcup Albany Park Bexley Crayford Blackheath Kidbrooke Eltham Falconwood Welling Bexleyheath Barnehurst Deptford Greenwich Maze Hill Westcombe Park Charlton Woolwich Dockyard Woolwich Arsenal Plumstead Abbey Wood Belvedere Erith Slade Green Dartford The enormous amount of stations make this route seem much bigger than it actually is. The total amount of layed track adds to 59 miles, but the overall, as-the-crow-flies route coverage is about half that. Timetable layers: Driveable: - SE Class 465/9 - SE Class 375/9 and /6 (not sure about the /3) - Class 700/0 - SE Class 466 (would add to 465 consists for 10car trains) - Class 66 Ai only: - SN Class 377/4, /3 and /2 at London Bridge - SN Class 171/7 and /8 at London Bridge
I really don't like having to ask for feedback but I'd really like to know some other people's thoughts, is this too much, is it ok, would it be too boring, would it be too memory intensive, do we have enough SouthEastern content in game?
