    Opened In 1912 by the London And Northwestern Railway, the Croxley green branch is a railway built for competition with the Metropolitan Line, During The Time of the Beaching Axe caused services between Euston and Broad Street To Cease, which only left the shuttle to Watford Junction, the line closed in 1996


    The loco/locos:

    Would you want this route to be in the standard BR livery or in NSE livery? :)

    In the mid 1980s, they used the class 313, but they also used the class 104 units as well sometimes

    This suggestion has to be a joke. I can imagine someone making this as a workshop route for TS as a little hobby but not as a TSW route made by a company expecting money for it. Even the video just has the station wasting away to nothing over a long period and nothing about the line. Yeah, definitely a joke.

    Really excellent idea and if DTG wanted another proposed Railway that didn't get built the. this one can receive an underground line treatment. because this is really the Croxley to Watford Junction portion of the Metropolitan line extension. The sister game traun simulator 21 has a rivet games route that wasn't built in real life the Glasgow Airport link

    Well what if the route is cheaper than 24.99 For example 11.99? also there is quite a lot of stuff on this line for example Watford Junction, and Network Southeast and Forests And London Suburbs, not to mention Watford Stadium, and Watford High Street, I don’t see anything wrong with it To be honest I understand it’s quite short and all, I get that but the route still looks quite stunning

    I still don’t see the point. It would be too short with nothing much to do. A route that short would have to have a bit more interest than a few landmarks. I can’t see anyone making it for TSW.

    I have to agree with you here its 3 stations 3 miles may as well make it apart of a West Coast Main Line suggestion

    I would say this would be best with a West Coast Main Line or DC lines in the 80s route
