Ah interesting, I thought it was just the 158s nowadays that just went to Brighton. A driveable 166 layer would be a great addition to an already...
Hello all, With the release of the upcoming Class 313 soon, today I am making a detailed route suggestion for the West Coastway – one of two...
Four questions regarding BML: 1. - Are Southern's Metro services included to drive using the 377/4? 2. - Will the 377 destination boards...
Three questions regarding BML: 1. - Are Metro services included to drive? 2. - Will the 377 destination boards correctly display two names...
In anticipation for the London-Brighton route, I have a small tip for getting a better view when driving the Class 377. When playing on 'Classic'...
After watching last night's stream for Boston, I'm a bit concerned of potential 'gaps' in the upcoming timetable for BML. Firstly, let me...
Agreed, would like to see this too. Until then, what I normally do to decide what weather settings to have is to look to see what the weather is...
Absolutely, I agree. However, my only concern would be how long would it be until such a route is released (potentially years?), if at all. Thus,...
I'm glad WSR is getting more services on the timetable, I might give the route another go again. Also, this gives me hope in the future that ECW...
Question: How will the Providence-end of the route retain the Rush Hour feel? For example, Boston looked how I felt Rush Hour should be, really...
Personally, I would say the 455 would make sense for the route. If it adds a small variety to the route it would be welcome, even if just a...
I'd also like to add the Thameslink depot at Three Bridges to that suggestion for the BML. Even if no trains, the lights alone make for an...
I have an idea for an upcoming London Commuter (BML) scenario, admittedly this maybe too late to implement, but how about a New Year-themed...
Ah thanks, Charing Cross is one of my favourite stations, such a a great view of the River Thames. Those are some nice pics of Sheffield by the...
Was in London today. Pics of Southeastern at Charing Cross and Bakerloo Line: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Saw some Class 66 freight at Clapham Junction this evening, apologies for the poor pic, due to the rain. Also some bonus pics of East Croydon....
Just another question to anyone who is familiar with the real route. On the drive down to Providence, does the amount of traffic on the line look...
Totally agree with both of you. I'm only just at the start of the stream, but I must say having now seen the extra AI traffic in action, I'm...
I'm not sure about anyone else, but is there anyone slightly surprised that only 187 services are driveable out of 700 or so. Don't get me wrong...
A great post, I'm also very excited! I agree with everything you have mentioned, have been wondering a lot myself. My response to some of your...
Wouldn't it make sense to at least try the BML and Boston RH routes before you leave? As you say, you have a passion for trains and TSW (as do we...
Coupling and uncoupling should in theory occur at Victoria with the Gatwick Express as I believe at peak times whatever gets uncoupled heads for...
Sounds interesting, but, for me personally, any WCML route would have to include London Northwestern Railway services. I would not want a Euston...
A good detailed suggestion, would be a fantastic route. If the licence was available, I'd like a Thameslink Class 700s for the journey to...
Personally, I think there has to be at least some 375 and 465 AI trains - even if just two or three an hour. If BML is going to live up to its...
So, from watching the stream I found it interesting regarding passenger noise level at stations. However, what would be really good for immersion...
Good luck with the trip, sounds like you'll have an enjoyable time.
Fantastic pics and info, thanks for sharing. While I have been to the Bay Area (San Francisco and Oakland) for a holiday/vacation, this was only...
This article has made me even more excited for Rush Hour. A fascinating read. While RH is a separate add-on, will future passenger routes take...
Can anyone familiar with the route tell me how much further distance has been given following the news of an extension to St Austell (plus an...
Makes me wonder that if any of these routes were created in the future what they would name them, and how they would distinguish them compared to...
As someone who has travelled a lot on this line over the years it would be good. However, at this time I would not want the route. With Bakerloo...
As others have said above, it kept crashing - on any route. I actually never really noticed what the purpose of the unique vehicles number was...
I see where you're coming from, and part of me agrees with you. However, could they currently be just telling us what everyone from the route can...
I'd say that London Bridge would be better suited as the flagship station for an entirely new metro route (with the Class 455) which itself would...
100% agree with all your points mentioned. There has been a few other posts about adding in the Victoria services to ECW etc but I think these are...
With BML potentially having the most services ever made for a route, you'd hope that the GWR connection to Gatwick being hourly, could/should be...
Some Southern pics taken at a very sunny Littlehampton yesterday: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Agreed, I share your concern. Regarding the name, as others have rightly said it's too vague. 'London Commuter' could stand for anywhere. However,...
I think after the recent announcements regarding Dresden, there has been a lot of unnecessary panic with people saying BML is being cut to Gatwick...
While I agree yesterday's news was somewhat a downer, it does make me wonder with BML now being last in the release schedule due to the amount of...
My questions for the Q+A session regarding Brighton Mainline: - Will Southern services operate in place for some routes/stations served mainly by...
I would say this has to be an absolute must to include, otherwise there would be a huge chunk of services missing. I see where you are coming...
As others have said, Hove is technically not on BML but has sidings used by Gatwick Express 387s so I'd hope it would be included, but who knows....
After these changes, I'm a bit concerned on potentially more changes, not just to Dresden, but the other two routes if things don't go to plan....
This normally works, or failing that you can completely reset the train.
Indeed, though a WCW or Arun Valley Line would be nice to complement in the future with BML forming the focus of future routes, but yes BML will...
What are the odds of any Class 158s being built for the route? Would be a fantastic addition, well depending on exactly the time of the route that...
Agreed, same here. By far the most excited I've ever been for a TSW route. The format of RH excites me too further on top of the interesting...
Ah nice, thanks for that. Was a special trip as my first time on a proper US train, well not counting the NYC subway which I also enjoyed though.
