    I know that this will probably be ignored and never made but it's worth a shot anyways ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯.

    So I am here to suggest the Portsmouth Direct line which would contain the following features:

    The Route:
    The Route would start in London Waterloo, like TS2019 and TS2020, and would finish off at Portsmouth with stopping services as well as non stop services.

    Future extensions could include London Waterloo to London Waterloo (Kingston Loop) as well as Waterloo to reading.

    Rolling stock:
    It would come with the two Deserios:
    Class 450
    [​IMG]
    Class 444
    [​IMG]
    And if possible the class 455 (could later be integrated into the southern fleet on the London commuter)
    [​IMG]

    Features:
    This route will would be really fit in tsw3 as you could now explore what is arguably the most important/picturesque part of London. You can take a bustling commuter service through the busy morning hours or take a look at the scenery as you rush down to the southern coast of England.
    This route would also add a lot of life at Clapham junction as it would make it the single busiest train station in the whole of the simulator.
    And yes dovetail, it would mean yet another route to squeeze in the class 66
    Ideally this route would be almost like a parallel version of the London commuter.

    Edit:
    Sorry the class 455 and 444 pics are not showing I'll try find other ones...

    honestly - Im one of the few people who wan this route modern day

    As someone whos majority of life been around SWR driving something I commute on several times weekly would be really fun. Also PDL is a cracking route in itself - Hopefully 313 and 377 layers could be included to makes portsmouth more busy.

    Would be nice to have a SWR route especially including Waterloo station quite an interesting station to me, but I'm not saying it's not possible but although the route is around 65 miles long it does take 2 hours which I would find that okay but in the eyes of sales it might not do well as it will take ages to complete. I could be wrong but I'm just trying to point out possible issues.

    especially with alot of stations
    but a London Waterloo - Guildford with surrounding branch lines included could be good and would be more realistic

    Let me guess the requested train simulator Classic route into the game and there is a drawback to it you are going to melt the 8th generation consoles on the other hand PC and 9th generation consoles can handle it
