    East Coastway, don't get me wrong its a good route but the timetable is incredibly off.

    I suggest the following:

    Layers

    The most common AI layer would ofc be the 387/2 Gatwick Express from London Commuter (for those who own it ofc)
    BR Class 377/2 from WCML South as a sub for the 377/4
    BR Class 700 from Southeastern or for those who own the 700

    Timetable

    I'd like to see the following:

    377:
    AI from Eastbourne to Ashford Intl (Playable as far as Hampden Park)
    Playable: Eastbourne to Brighton - 2tph with no going out of map
    Take off the Hastings services and have 2tph going to Ore
    Seaford to London Victoria as a 1tph service, going AI after Lewes
    Eastbourne to London Victoria as a 1tph service, maybe 2, going AI after Lewes again
    Have these do Brighton to Seaford for 1tph

    387:
    AI from Brighton to London (2tph) and leave 2tph as 377

    700:
    AI trains going to Bedford or Cambridge 4tph

    313:

    AI out of Brighton
    Brighton to Lewes/Eastbourne (alternating with the 377) and Seaford (1tph, again alternate)

    31/52:

    Railtours from Eastbourne to Lewes

    66:

    Freight from Newhaven like currently, just with a bit more freight.

    I'm not on about a full scenery redo or anything, just a new timetable (going in with recent trend of new timetable).

    Don't think the 377/2 goes to Brighton.

    The 387/2 was built after East Coastway is set (it's set in 2009).

    There's a separate timetable which includes the 313 if you own the 313 DLC

    Railtours already exist between Eastbourne and Lewes.

    As for the freight, there's not much anyway as it's a mainly passenger oriented route.

    I would sooner have an extension to Ore than have half of a route. A playable route to Hampden Park seems odd since not every service stops there.
