So as you see in Train Simulator Classic theres a route Going From London St Pancras Thameslink To Bedford. And what if we include this into Train Sim World 3 But From London Blackfriars To Bedford? idk if this is a good idear but hope its possible the route would include: Class 700/0/1 Class 319 Class 222 East Midlands Railway. Class 180 EMR Class 43 EMR. Class 360 East Midlands Railway (EMR) Connect. Class 377/5's With Ex-First Capital Connect Doors With Thameslink Logo's. Able to have Ex-First Capital Connect Branding on it. And the last one. 377/2 Ex-Southern Thameslink as we all know few Class 377/2's were loaned to Thameslink While the class 700's where there starting to get into service. and putting the class 319's out of use. Sooner Thameslink gives there class 319 Fleet To London Midland (As Known As LondonNorthWesternRailway) These Days The Class 319's/ Class 700's And Other Thameslink Trains Could be used across the tsw platform in routes such as: SouthEastern Highspeed Around DartFord to Gravesend to Rochester To Rainham. : The Brighton Mainline Around Brighton To East Croydon. and maybe future Uk Kent Routes.. And as you can see i cant add all the photos of the trains that could be added because for some reason it wont let me but you get the point. (at least i hope so) Hope this could be added one day! Have a nice day.
thats what im saying we can have London Blackfriars to Bedford instead of St pancras to bedford but in tsw
The central core from St Pancras to Blackfriars is Automatic Train operation anyway, so for that bit all you'd do is open and close the doors...
you could have something where you can make it auto or manual. like a setting where you can drive the train and a setting where its auto. and anyway the rest of the route is manual. no need to worry about it being auto for them parts.
The Thameslink core was still manually driven when the Class 700 was entering service, so not including ATO is quite feasible.
I believe it’s setup for ATO but a lot/all drivers haven’t been trained on it so it’s doesn’t run ATO. I’ll ask a TL drivers I know to confirm but I’m sure he’s always told me he’s never driven or been trained on ATO.
What I was getting at is if it's bedford to StP then all of that is always manual Adding in another mile and a half which is almost always auto doesn't seem worth it, and Blackfriars isn't used much as a terminus from the north, I've had a brief look on RTT and there are none am today... So would it be worth adding in a core section which is mostly underground, ATO and would bring a few more problems than it's worth (such as LUL at Farringdon)
So its not the same as the TSC Version but from Blackfriars its something new and To City Thameslink Farringdon St Pancras Onwards Is Alright For Farringdon And City Thameslink And Blackfriars There 3rd Rail Something new... and anyway cross fingers.
As far as I know, Blackfriars is a driver changeover location, so ending there would be more logical operationally (as well as adding a few extra miles of a slightly different driving experience with a power swap at Farringdon).
Switching Power Modes would be good for the class 700 as the class 700 will spawn in other routes like the Brighton Mainline And Southeastern highspeed. so it would be good for a powerchange over. Bedford to Blackfriars would be something new.
