    I think Perth to Midland more realistic and how about setting it historically and reopening the zig zag line up to Kalamunda etc.?

    The Prospector (train) - Wikipedia

    The Prospector is a rural passenger train service in Western Australia operated by Transwa between East Perth and Kalgoorlie. On this service, two trains depart almost at the same time in opposite directions, one travelling between East Perth and Kalgoorlie, and the other between Kalgoorlie and East Perth. The original vehicles ordered in 1968 for trains providing this service were replaced in 2004 with vehicles capable of reducing journey times to 6 hours 45 minutes.


    Distance travelled 653 km (406 mi)

    As said, you need to nominate a 50 mile section which is around the maximum for a TSW route. Then you need to convince DTG or one of their DLC building associates what will make this so special and sell like hot cakes to set aside, as someone put it earlier, the Holy Trinity of routes from the UK, Germany and USA to justify spending £1000’s travelling out to Australia to do the research.

    Route is too long you might as well make its urban section the Midland Line via Bassendean. The urban section can be merged with my Perth Western Australia suggestion the Mandurah Line as a Bundle called Train Sim World 2 Transperth Perth to Midland & Mandurah.
     
  7. I would love to see an Australian line come to tsw, but considering lines in Australia probably span the entire length of the UK several times over and the fact dtg can't make a route that covers a quarter of the length of the UK! Would you be able to fit more than 2 stations in a route?
