    Hello, today ill be suggesting a route i think a lot of People would be interested in, that being the west coast mainline, however due to limitations only the 44 mile stretch between london euston and milton keynes is possible

    Rolling stock:
    Both high speed and commuter services would be available in this route, bringing a decent variety to the route along with layers.

    High speed:
    Class 390 (virgin trains)
    Dsc_0108.jpg

    Class 220/221 voyagers (virgin trains/crosscountry )
    220px-Hugh_llewelyn_221_108_(6390199779).jpg

    Commuter:
    Class 350 (london midland)
    350252_at_Watford_Junction.jpg

    Class 377 (southern)
    6430c727-3015-4d08-a46d-7386beab3881.png
    (Layered from london commuter)
    Overall, i do think a lot of people would be interested in buying this route, mostly because of the pendolino finally being added to train sim world, but also because of the first desiro in the game. But I'll finish this off with a request, if this is ever created, please use AP sounds for these trains.

    Only if we get a London Overground route with a Class 378 to layer on, or many of the stations south of Watford Junction will be empty. Some container freight as additional services or AI would be good to have also. The Class 377 would need to be of the /2 subclass (which as far as I know are identical to the /4 but equipped with a pantograph for services here).

    Please don't tell other people what to be interested in...

    Whilst I would appreciate some of the WCML route, this would NOT be the section I am interested in.
    Why?
    Because the stock you've listed runs fast over most of the route you've listed. South of Watford Junction the main stoppers are the LO trains, with the remaining stock only stopping at Bushey, Harrow & Wealdstone and Wembley Central, so that's over 17 miles with nothing happening...

    This would be a great route, however, Virgin Trains branding might not be allowed. If do get this, it will most likely be Avanti.

    Will not because the third Carriage needs to have Pantograph and Driver Cab Switches for High Voltage AC Power 25kv 50hz WCML. Remember it has to be running on 2M09 WCML Milton Keynes to BML East Croydon service.
    You're looking at 377/2 377/5 & 377/7 for WCML South.

    If we were to get this section (which I do want, a lot) we'd need an Overground route first, with either a 378 or a 710 in it. The 220/221 would probably need to also be in another route (North Wales Coastal perhaps?) or come as a DLC later.

    The 350, 378/710 and 390 are just have, however, with the 72 TS layering on the Bakerloo section to make things a bit more complete (the Bakerloo Line also aids things quite a bit, having a lot of the overground scenery there ready to be used)
