Much agreed. Many awesome choices for a new UK route out there not to mention multiple eras.
Great route.
It is roughly 37 miles long from Sutton to St Albans.
Nowhere near enough sharing. It seems that DTG keep missing tricks by not using certain classes on certain routes. A prime example is the 52 on...
My latest suggestion is as follows. The Thameslink route between Sutton (Surrey) and St Albans (Hertfordshire).This would allow the use of the...
Totally agree.
And the HST too.
We need various machines, particularly the diesel hydraulic classes 14, 35 and 42 but also could bend reality with the 22 and 41. Class 50 or 55...
These have been seen all over the network for decades and could be used on all routes.
But the DMUs also operate along parts of the route.
Because this is much harder to achieve. For example, you need different levels of completion of the electrification based on whichever year is...
Absolutely, start in the East and slowly work West.
I believe it was actually 2015.
This does not bother anyone with ECW railtours operated by NTP and TVL locomotives which i am fairly sure were not all operated there in reality....
New sections would need to be added at distances of between 30 and 50 mile stretches.
[ATTACH] This locomotive was in regular service during the 1960's and 70's with withdrawal in Febuary 1977 but has seen use on special runs on...
It would feel superbly right as these machines were once the first choice on this route. In no way would it feel wrong for this and the other...
Would be nice. Along with a Class 180 Adalante in both liveries and Class 165 reskins of 166's.
Even though they have used the line during the period reflected?
You forgot Waterloo to Hampton Court. Also a myriad of other classes that have served these routes.
How about a Class 141 Pacer for Huddersfield to Leeds services on NTP. These were introduced in 1983 and fit in with the time period...
I guess you are a pc user with mods?
Within reason. I. E. Except where loading restrictions apply like the old Hastings line with narrow DEMU's of classes 201-203.
Based on the current 30 mile odd length of routes, you would only get from Waterloo to shortly after Woking as i have already requested, or Exeter...
I save from google to my phone, then click upload file box.
I have only been down there a couple of times but the scenery is absolutely stunning with a vast mix of traction, both in BR days as well as on...
A few photos to stir the imagination. [ATTACH] Classes 33, 47 and 52 at Exeter St Davids [ATTACH] HST at sea wall Dawlish [ATTACH] Class 50 at...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
In line with current route distances, i would like to suggest a combination route as follows. Starting at Exeter St Davids, the line would be the...
Not similar but an extension of NTP but with different traction as the class 504 was a 1200v side contact 3rd rail emu.
Could be made into a suitable DLC pack with services on Bourne End/Marlow, Henley and Greenford branches also.
You are neglecting the fact that the 52's did run charter trains on GWE during the relevant period. More to the point, i cannot be certain that...
Much agreed. Not enough sharing of motive power between routes.
And on GWE railtours too. Some people seem to think it will spoil the realism, I cannot see how because many of the locomotives i have mentioned...
Can't say i have any problems, apart from it dropping out a while ago. Seems fine now.
Great call. Lots of possibilities.
Many services available around here. Good suggestion.
Good call with many good services like Gatwick Express and many more.
Good call.
A pair of deserving lines.
Could start with Waterloo to Guildford via both Woking and Leatherhead routes with Chessington South and Hampton Court branches. Have mentioned...
Would much prefer the heavy rail class 504 Manchester Victoria to Bury, which fits in with time period of NTP.
Awesome spread of suggestions Olaf. I agree with all of them.
Class 201 narrow 6 car short frame London to Hastings. Class 202 narrow 6 car long frame London to Hastings. Class 203 narrow 5 car long frame...
Me too. Currently changing all the time (except last few weeks).
Only on various SR routes but would be nice.
If they intend on making no improvements, as many of your suggestions, then why bother at all. As for it being old, this is only if not bothered...
[ATTACH] Class 101 at Paddington
It would be nice to use a NSE or BR Blue/Grey 101 on a GWE railtour trip as they were once part of the stopping service fleet before the turbos...
Separate names with a comma.
