    Circle line Train services are normally any where between 10 minutes between each other to some times 2 to 5 minutes for extra services put into service during rush hour so services are very frequent between each other.

    The problem is as well for arealistic timetable you would also need Hammersmoith and city and district lines to simulate the stations accurately

    I agree but it would be an opportunity wasted to not use the incredible S7 stock so I have reconsidered and now believe that it is an amazing suggestion. The circle line gets busy and stops at many renowned stations. I think that tye problem with the previous Bakerloo line experience was that it became extremely repetitive. We need an Underground route that contains variety and I believe that Dovetail need to work harder to put their best game forward. The routes in the game are always really fun for a short time but then I turn to other games because it lacks variety. I have a passion for trains. We need variety!

    We have variety.

    Most routes have variety.

    I would love this route to enter the game. It is my favourite train model as well.

    Southeastern High Speed.

    There's more to do on that route than hours available in a day.

    Now that I have reconsidered this, the route would be would be great. The S7 stock is my favourite on the entire London Underground network. The route would be great but it is not my favourite

    If we're talking about our favourites of all time, then for me it's got to be the 1967 Victoria Line Stock, the first automatic tube train accompanied by plush, comfortable seats. Close second is the District Lines D Stock, grew up with those :)

    I was not a fan of the D stock district line. I was very young when they were taken out of service so I have more fond memories of the S7 stock. My local line is the Central Line so I also love the trains and route. The Central and District lines are my favourite

    I would also prefer if this route was set in the present day as I enjoy that more.

    The good thing about the S7 stock is that it can still represent H&C and District line services within a Circle line route. If it were to include Aldgate East, you would have the option of driving H&C services between Aldgate East and Hammersmith, as well as District line services between South Kensington and Aldgate East. Certainly a busy timetable with a variety of service patterns to choose from.

    I would absolutely love to see the Circle line come to TSW - I had to use it almost everyday while I was in London and I enjoy being able to visit places in game I've been to in real life. Wouldn't say no to the other sub-surface lines getting made either.

    I totally agree. I love the S7 stocks. They are my personal favourite train stock. I would love them to feature in TSW4

    I agree. They may be the best trains on the entire underground network.

    yep it would be interesting to see new and old rolling stock trains on the sub surface lines

    They are very unique trains aswell. Hopefully, we get a route with the S7 stock. I would most love the District line but I would definitely take Circle and Hammersmith and City lines

    Now that the GWR Remastered has been released, I'm more intrigued than ever to see the Circle Line and HAMMERSMITH & CITY LINE as a potential dlc for Train Sim World. The section where you can already drive the Class 484 between London Paddington and Westbourne Park
    is is downright impressive! [​IMG]

    I agree because following the remaster of GWR if we got the circle line running along side Great Western Express it would literally link the Bakerloo line at multiple different london underground stations so multiple stations to swap and fast travel between routes and layers

    We’d need an S7 or S8 stock for that and for the Metropolitan line if that was ever made. I see the appeal to the other lines though as they could model partially a GWE modern version with OHLE, which fits into the underground route.

    yeah since we have the 484 in place of the old D stock this would also work nicely

    I wonder whether a circular route (albeit one with a spur to a shared destination) would be problematic for making a Timetable in TSW?

    "Circle Line" trains run from Edgware Road to Hammersmith via Aldgate then back to Edgware Road via Aldgate. Which sounds easy but could a single service pass over the same section of track twice going in the same direction between Edgware Road and Praed Street Junction in a single trip?

    Maybe one for an expert Timetable programmer to answer.

    Probably both as future routes then it would link several major routes together

    One thing I forgot to mention is with the district line and Hammersmith line it means that Gospel Oak route would have a London Underground AI layer on the Gospel Oak London overground route at Barking Station too with the AI Trains using all of the vacant London underground platforms which at currently makes Barking Station feel a little empty and a bit of a ghost station at the moment.

    I'm hoping for the C2C line for similar reasons!
    Having worked at Barking, it's far too quiet. That and the 710s on the Mildmay Line at Gospel Oak are immersion shattering. I wish DTG would do something about it.

    I still find it gutting that the two least interesting services from the two busiest East London through stations are what we got in TSW. I'm sure that will be put right by the time we reach TSW 18 and every inch of the London Midland Region from several different eras are in the game.

    Yes that is wishful thinking at least but it would be nice to see a small update to London overground gospel oak to correct the empty station AI layers with the district line as many routes at the moment are getting restorative or quality of life updates at the moment
