    The lines from London Waterloo to Chessington South, Hampton Court, Weybridge and Shepperton come to a total length of 56 miles. The service over these routes is very frequent, generally around the 15-20 minute mark, and has a core fleet which operate most of these services. The map below doesn't show the entirety of the route I'm proposing, but it shows some of the areas covered, with a London Waterloo circular service going up via Brentford, through Twickenham and back through Barnes in peak hours. upload_2021-11-2_21-7-0.png
    Proposed Rolling Stock
    • Class 450 in South West Trains Livery[​IMG]
    Operate London Waterloo - Weybridge services, as well as Waterloo - Portsmouth Harbour/Portsmouth & Southsea services
    • Class 455/8 in South West Trains Livery[​IMG]
    Operate services from Waterloo to Hampton Court/Guildford/Chessington South/Waterloo Circular
    • Class 458/5 in South West Trains livery[​IMG]
    Operate services from London Waterloo to Reading (as far as Virginia Water in game)

    Stock layering in from other routes
    London Commuter: Class 377/4 in Southern Livery + Class 387/2 in Gatwick Express Livery

    Possible DLC's
    • Class 444 in SWT Livery for Express passenger services out of Waterloo[​IMG]
    • Class 456 in SWT and Southern livery for extra capacity on Class 455/8 operated services as well as extra AI at Clapham Junction[​IMG][​IMG]
    • Class 707 in South West Trains livery for extra variety on services to Chessington South and Shepperton [​IMG]
    • Class 60 in Cappagh Rail livery + JNA-T wagons (new freight flow from just north of Chessington South)[​IMG]

    Great route but I said in a different era, it would be a great way to get slam door stock into the game

    At some point it would be good but now most people I think want 25 k overhead cables power instead of 3rd rail good route though

    I would love this route, I am hoping so much to see the class 450 and 455 in the South Western/ South West Trains liveries in the game!

    Great suggestion and this can be sold as a bundle with BML as the Clapham Junction commuter pack
