    Hi,
    I think the upcoming London Commuter DLC will contain the 377 and 387 EMUs.
    I did a quick search to see if I can find out what additional layers can be used but without finding anything too clear.
    So can someone clarify which locos/EMUs will appear and be driveable? Which will be AI only?
    And it would be great if you can specify the DLC you need to make these available please?
    I think I heard GWE gives you some.
    I really like the idea of having a mega busy route. So trying to work out which I will have as I don’t have all the DLC.

    Pete.

    All this information is given in the initial preview stream of London Commuter, here's the details:

    Trains that come with the route:
    Southern Class 377
    Gatwick Express Class 387

    Other drivable layers:
    Class 166 DMU from GWE
    Class 66 from ECW
    Class 375 from SEHS

    AI only:
    Class 465 from SEHS


    Here's the link

    Go to about 1:50:50, the link should take you to the correct timestamp :)

    Thanks for the quick reply. Shame I don’t have SEHS. Wait for the sale maybe.

    It passes through Clapham Junction I think between 7:12-13am and 17:12-13pm...those are the only two appearances I THINK I seen both directions.

    Or let's say two trains each direction

    Just for fun, really. An imaginary diversion provides an excuse to run a couple through CJ; they don’t in actuality

    Based on the real life diversions that FGW run when the route to or Paddington itself is shut. These are based on the diagrams that diverted to Waterloo via Basingstoke. Other diagrams have them running to Waterloo via Richmond.

    The HST passes Clapham Junction westbound at XX:13 and eastbound at XX:18 during normal running hours.

    However, isn't it the case that by 2019 HSTs were no longer running into Paddington at all? I'm pretty sure that GWR had shortened them all into "Castles" and redeployed them to the West Country.

    Yeah the HSTs are now either with Scotrail or as you mention, the castle sets. GWR now run the Class 800 and 802s on their intercity routes.
