So i got the dirt cheap new journeys add on for the Bakerloo line today…very nice livery by the way… and some exiting new stock movements! I was imagining Aldwych, which i actually have visited while in operation back in -85. I had watched some videos on YouTube about the now abandoned station storing a heritage train, and that the station together with disused platforms at Holborn and Oxford Circus exist and can be toured! I do realize that Bakerloo and Piccadilly intersect at Piccadilly and i had some hope that there would be a stop end change and reverse onto Piccadilly line and to Holborn and Aldwych. To my great disappointment that was not the case… I know the only tube line at present is the Bakerloo line but with this mini add on surely you could have added the needed path to Aldwych? Guessing Piccadilly siding switch ends go to Holborn, switch ends, and into Aldwych. Sure you would have to add some 4 stations for this but man would it have been an amazing add on! As is is now, even the livery of the short 4 car heritage train is off since that train seem to have half and half red/silver front and all silver sides and NOT red doors. Even though it looks good as is. What do you think?
Unfortunately, dtg can't include everything that is part of the route. That's just how it is. They would need route builders, change the timetable to add those new services in and that would have taken a long time. It's more of a scenario pack than something where they add additional track. Sure, it would have been nice to have but most likely due to how much time they had, they couldn't do it
I'm fairly certain that there is no railway connection from the Bakerloo to the Piccadilly at Piccadilly Circus. The Bakerloo connects with the Jubilee at Baker Street. You would then need to connect to the Metropolitan at Neasden and join the Piccadilly Line at Rayners Lane. We are in Zone 5 now by the way. Then reverse, back beyond Holborn to reverse again to Aldwych. Probably a 90 minute journey. And that's assuming the Bakerloo stock is cleared for the route.
