    I personally would love to see more modern commuter routes in TSW 2, especially those which operate in London. For example, a South Western Railway route from London Waterloo to Bournemouth at least with the Class 444 would be great. Also a Thameslink DLC would be very cool.

    Also, a high speed route from Newcastle to Edinburgh would be very interesting to see.

    That's just my suggestions for future UK DLCs, but so far I am very satisfied with TSW 2.

    Cmon. There are already 3 UK lines in London. GWE, Bakerloo and Southeastern is coming up. London should not become the center to UK routes in TSW. In general TSWuk is very Southeasterish. So I'm mostly looking forward for routes in the west. Like >>Bristol Penzance Exeter or Glasgow Liverpool Birmingham.<<

    I honestly want to see a modern take on the East Coast mainline.. driving a Class 91 in as much detail as TSW gives us would be the greatest thing.... you know what...I would also like to see the Victoria line, Elizabeth Line and Greater Anglia. All for personal reasons xD

    I have no idea what I'm talking about and have never been - but maybe something Scottish along the coast or a lake?

    Penzance to Plymouth would be a stunner. It would have to include the branchlines though to increase the level of fun.

    Mmmm... Deltics.

    And a good length of ECML for them to sport in of course. Mind you 55022 Royal Scots Grey was hired to run trains from the potash mine at Boulby a few years ago...

    A few ideas from me:-

    London Liverpool St to Shenfield
    Perhaps London Overground focussed, as DTG could then utilize the already produced (and fantastic) Class 377 to create a 378 perhaps. Decent end to end route but short enough to be feasible in TSW/2.

    London Victoria to Horsham
    A nice spin on the London to Brighton line, but diverging at Three Bridges. Again uses the Class 377 and a feasible-length end to end route.

    Newcastle to Hexham
    I'm guessing the full length of this route (Newcastle to Carlisle) would be deemed too long for TSW/2, but all of the action happens between Newcastle and Hexham. This would be in modern Northern colours and would need either a Pacer of Class 156.

    Tyne & Wear Metro
    So, the above are pretty objective ideas - this one is a dream of mine as a native Geordie! The T&W Metro is 90% above ground and generally suburban. I wouldn't be expecting the whole network, but the South Shields to Airport line could be a feasible length. The City Centre stations are undersgound and all other stations are above. Would need the Metro-Cammell trains of course; an interesting stock, built in 1980 but constantly refurbished and redeveloped, in all areas including interior fittings, traction, and even the cabs. It's also an interesting line because line speeds operate in Kph for some odd reason. Max line speed 80Kph.

    Anything that includes Crewe with all of the depots and sidings modelled. Would really like a Class 91 and maybe a class 50, think it would not be present day...

    Southampton to Waterloo: Class 450, Class 159 and Freightliner Class 70. DLC with Class 444.

    London to Brighton including Haywards Heath to Lewes: Class 700, Class 377, Class 59. DLC with Class 455.

    Exeter to Salisbury 1980s: Class 50, 4TC, Class 33, Class 47.

    Reading to Gatwick Airport: Class 165/166, Class 769.

    Locomotive Proposal: Class 73 can be used for Driver training and unit drags on East Coastway, and can be used on Diesel Galas on WSR.

    Class 66 Horn update. The horn on the Class 66 is terrible... simply put. If the Armstrong Powerhouse horn could be used, then it would be much better. It is very annoying having to use that horn. It makes me put off by the Class 66 because it is very unrealistic for the EWS/DB loco.

    I'd love to see the Gloucester to Cardiff main line set in the 80's lots of freight and passenger work plenty of shunting in the Severn Tunnel Marshalling yards, also yards at Gloucester and either side of Newport station, so plenty of scope for scenarios and whole mix of loco's to choose from the time period, and it's roughly the length of the lines that DTG have released, so hopefully maybe one day I'll see my home city in game :) :)

    I'd honestly have to say the Medway Valley line or Marshlink line simply because we need a modern DMU and the 68 and Hastings-Ashford w/ Dungeness would be a great addition to the game

    Manchester Piccadilly to Crewe, So much add on potential, either set in BR days or Modern Day, and also the route varient either via Stockport or Styal , BR days the traction could be Class 86/87 locos and Mk 3 stock for the express ,303/304 or 310 EMUs for the stoppers, and Container trains from Traff Pk could add freight from Ptfm 13/14 (portal) using any Loco (Diesel or Electric), could even throw in another 1st Gen DMU 104s ,108s etc..
    Modern day could utilise Pendolinos for express , 66s for frieght, 323s for stoppers and any DMU from Pacers, Sprinters, etc, could even put the Airport link off the Styal line in.

    Is advertising against forum rules? If not please add that to the list. Thank you. Cause it's nothing associated with the thread topic.

    Y'know, a line from London Charing Cross to Orpington could be a good idea. I wouldn't mind it in either NSE days or southeastern white days so we can have trains such as: The Class 415 (NSE), Class 421 (NSE), Class 455 (NSE) out of London Bridge, Class 465 (London-Faversham version and for modern day), Class 377 (for modern day) and maybe a Class 47/Class 50 with MK1's (NSE)
