    INTRODUCTION
    Today I'll be suggesting a route operated by the London underground (owned by Transport for London) this route would be 1 hour long with 15.8 miles of track (25.5 km) and 29 stations in total.


    THE ROUTE

    -The route is 15 miles long
    -The route has 29 stations in total
    -This route would be 1 hour long




    S7 STOCK

    (This train would run as a Hammersmith & City line a Circle line from Hammersmith to Liverpool Street and a District line from Aldgate East to Barking). The S7 stock manufactured Bombardier Transportation at Derby Litchurch Lane Works as part of the Movia family 133 of these seven car trains were built from 2008- 2017 these trains have a maximum operating speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) and have CBTC and TRIPCOCK implemented.

    Definitely agree with your suggestion also it's a straight run no branches so easier for DTG or I'd prefer JT to do the route also later dlcs can come out with the C69 stock. But definitely another London Underground route is needed since the Bakerloo Line is over 2 years old which I still enjoy with additional dlc 1938 stock,

    I love the London Underground in TSW4. It is quite a popular suggestion and it would be great if it featured as it would be easier than other Underground lines. I love the S7 stock. Just imagine if another London Underground route will feature in the upcoming roadmap.

    I am assuming no one has any updates on the routed that could feature in the upcoming roadmap. There are no leaks online.

    Just wait for it to come out and see for yourself. None of us know either.

    I always get excited about roadmaps despite it consisting of routes that I am not interested about for the majority of roadmaps. I am excited for the Goblin Line though

    Excellent suggestion as long as AI services are back ported onto GWE between Paddington and Westbourne Park for extra realism. Even after all these years, Paddington still feels like a ghost town when compared to real life.

    With S7 stock, it may also be possible to add AI District Line services into Ealing Broadway too.

    That is so true. I never thought of that. It would be great to have the S7 stock.

    I'd buy it, especially if the Circle is included.
    We've got 710s for AI at Barking and HSTs, 165s, 387s for AI at Paddington too.

    I agree with you. It would be simpler to create the circle line if they remaster the Hammersmith and City line. It is an incredible route and I am desperate for more London Underground experiences. We need more AI traffic at Barking and would be lovely to see Circle/ Hammersmith and City line trains near Paddington.

    I think including the Circle Line with Hammersmith and City it's still under 40 miles but stations would be 50 + if I'm correct don't get me wrong would love to see both lines but would be very difficult for DTG to make

    I totally agree. Neither would be my dream Underground route but I would still love to see both feature. If it was an option of the two then I would definitely pick the Hammersmith and City line.

    I am really disappointed with the latest roadmap. I was expecting a great London route and there is very limited information about the Goblin line release date. They made the mistake of putting Holloway road instead of Upper Holloway. DTG Alex I just wanted to point this out.

    I hope with the new London Underground route, DTG will consider adding new Underground routes. Underground routes like the Victoria line, H&C line and the District line all serve 1 station along the portion of the overground (Victoria serving Blackhouse Road, and H&C and District Line serving Barking).

    I would love a sub- surface line or the Central line and picadilly lines. I would most certainly take any new London Underground route. I hope that mistake is not just an accident but a teaser.

    It's funny how I want to go "but you could also extend it to complete the circle line" but if that happens I'd also go "but you could also extend to upminster" and so on xd

    The District line would be the most ideal and enjoyable but I believe that the Hammersmith and City line with the option for a circle line add on would be more realistic
