    Yep. Would love the route, just that Southerns 455s don’t run down to Portsmouth or Brighton.
    Class 313s definitely do and so do the Class 377s. Class 158s run the Great Western service down to Portsmouth along with Class 166s.
    Would be a great route.

    I'd be up for any extensions to East Coastway. This seems like a good length with lots of services to do,especially with the Bognor and Littlehampton branches. We've already got the 377 and should soon have the 313 so we'll have the rolling stock needed for this route already.

    The class 313 EMU is in production according to the roadmap. So excited to actually get different trains on one route(but I want extensions).

    Extensions Will eventually come. For sure. But we won't see them in any preserved collection routes...

    I can't see why not. Just as worthy as any other routes.
