Southeastern On Tsw2 East Kent

Southeastern is on Train simulator but for someone like me on console i can't play it. Southeastern has the UK's fastest train. On Train Simulator we only get the Chatham main line. I live in Kent and if we could get some line from Ramsgate to Ashford via Dover Priory that would be great. I wouldn't mind if we were to get the Chatham main line on TSW2 but it's already on TS. The route would call at Ramsgate, Sandwich, Deal, Walmer, Martin Mill, Dover Priory, Folkestone Central, Folkestone West, Sandling, Westenhanger and Ashford Int'll. This route is about 50 miles and would last 1 hour for the full journey.
This would be with the Class 375.

 

I couple of corrections (as I'm actually a guard/conductor for SE):

• Southeastern doesn't have the fastest train in the UK. Instead that title goes to the Eurostar E320.
• The route choice is personally a bit bizarre to me, would you not want a HS1 section of track, such as London St Pancras to Ashford???
• The journey doesn't take an hour at best it takes 45 minutes.

 

i only said it because it's my route. it wouldn't be in the game anyway

 

Not so to speak, I to want southeastern in the game, but this section line in my opinion isn't taking my fancy (I like routes coming out of major cities). Your entitled to your opinion and so am I. If I'm being honest I would love a route going through Herne Bay (as I live there).

 

Southeastern Locos: 376, 375,377/5&6 and the 2nd fastest train in the UK the javelin
Trainsim_fan please correct me if I got any of these locos wrong

 

376 doesn't really go outside the London boundary as is limited to 58 minute journeys (no toilets), the rest are fine unless you include the North Kent Lines (ie through Dartford) which then brings the Southeastern Networkers (465/466) and Thameslink 700s in.
Personally I'd prefer Charing Cross and all three North Kent lines with Slade Green and Hither Green depots included, and if it linked up to the Chatham Main even better

This would mean loads of the metro routes, freight runs to and from Hoo via Lewisham etc etc

 

Something to add no 377's, they dont use them.

 

Ok

 

Then make a Suggestion with the section you want

 

I have.

 

Ashford - Ramsgate via Canterbury would be more scenic with the famous signal box at Canterbury West and the old manually controlled level crossings at Wye and Chartham. It would also be more feasible as it is a shorter route.

 

Its shorter route by nearly 3×. And the point of this was high speed, of which that route does not provide. The manually controlled level crossing has been removed, this was but was not limited to, someone being ran-over and killed at a level crossing in the area around Headcorn.

 

Yes, well, neither does Ashford - Ramsgate via Dover. The speed limits are roughly the same, so the original route proposed contains no high speed either. Both manual gate level crossings are definitely still there because I live very close to both of them. Headcorn is also much further away from the area which I am talking about.

 

yes it does the class 375 and class 395 both run on ramsgate via dover

 

Yes but just because the Class 395 runs on it, doesn't mean it's a high-speed line. The only high-speed line in Kent is Ashford -> London on HS1. Between Ramsgate and Dover, the 395 does 60MPH for most of the way.

 

395s come off HS1 at Ashford, there is no access from HS1 to the classic lines east of Ashford. So you'll be driving alongside the high speed line, but can't get on or off
