I think the current Southeastern High speed route terminates too early at Dartford with quite a through station design, This would be solved by the route continuing to London Charings X. New stations would Include Waterloo East which would interchange for SWR at Waterloo should that ever be implimented and London Bridge for Interchange with Thameslink and Southern. I think it would make the route more intresting but I'm keen to hear some other people's feelings
I agree with your suggestion that would have southeastern high-speed be interesting and more enjoyable...
interesting suggestion, but Matt has prevously stated that they have expanded SEHS to the maximum they want to, especially with the branch to Ashford. Dartford itself was an extension and (key's in the name) I'm pretty sure the main focus was on the high-speed bit so I doubt there will be a further extension (though DTG does weird things sometimes so you never know).
Honestly I think SEHS has had enough now, at least for a long while. It already has lots of dlc for it and many services patterns. I’d argue it's already pretty interesting if you own everything, Rail tours, Thameslink commuter runs, high-speed, Rail operations group moves, Southeastern semi-fasts etc. If Charing X came to tsw it should be for a stand-alone route.
The route is called "Southeastern High Speed", meaning that it focuses on High Speed 1. Charing X to Dartford is basically commuter services, completely detracting from the high speed part of the route. If Charing X were to come, it would be with its own separate route.
I really wouldn't mind a new seperate route from Charing Cross /London Bridge / London Vic to Dartford and maybe a second route to Rochester/Ashford via Swanley
I'm open to separate routes in the area, but not an extension of the existing one as mentioned in the and another thread.
Charing Cross. No because they don't have the Class 707 Citybeam going to Gravesend in the game yet. Sorry about that
i'd personally rather less of the southern 3rd rail electrostars but i guess its easier for dtg, considering their location
Personally, I don't really care what routes they do next, but I think I'd prefer visiting other areas of the country first.
A full southeastern commuter route has always been on my wish list since the first TSW game launched. A full route from Charing Cross to Dartford via Bexleyheath and Greenwich lines would work well as it’s only 15 miles from Charing x to Dartford by train. The class 376 could be the main loco marketed for the dlc, and have the class 465, 700 and 66 as add on’s.
Chatham Dockyard. Why else would SEHS (which goes through Chatham) be the one to receive an extension and many DLCs.
I'm not even sure why I like it so much, but it just feels good to drive. Accelerates and brakes well, even if its top speed is quite limited.
Maybe focus should be elsewhere rather than more on SEHS, but I have no issue with a route receiving extensions, no matter if it’s already received them. If it was a separate route, it would have calls to connect it, why make a separate route when one can just be made better.
