    Today I suggest am expansion for Brighton Mainline to Portsmouth Harbour going through Worthing and Chichester. The route is around 50 miles long. I've not listed all stations as I don't know anything about that line except SWR, GWR(used to), and Southern operate that line. The Locomotives that operate the extended version of the line are: Class 377, Class 313, Class 444, Class 387, Class 70, Class 450, Class 158, and finally Class 166. If you think this expansion should come to TSW3 leave a like.

    This is actually a different route the WCW West Coastway. Benefit is that Littlehampton and Bognor Regis trips can be operated including Hove TMD

    According to National Rail Enquiries, this route can take 1 hour 22 minutes. The calling points are as follows...
    • Hove
    • Aldrington
    • Portslade
    • Southwick
    • Shoreham-by-Sea
    • Lancing
    • East Worthing
    • Worthing
    • Angmering
    • Barnham
    • Chichester
    • Southbourne
    • Emsworth
    • Havant
    • Fratton
    • Portsmouth & Southsea
    • Portsmouth Harbour
    For Bognor Regis, there is no direct train from Brighton as you would need to change and meet the train from London Victoria in RL. If Littlehampton was included in the game, there is a 21-minute service from there to Bognor Regis and calls at
    • Ford
    • Barnham
    • Bognor Regis

    I would definitely like to see this added . It is mainly operated with 377s and some 313s and the occasional 700 service . The 387 also sometimes goes along the west Coastway in the event of a diversion . The last 158 along the wcw was a couple of months ago , but even if it was included I wouldn’t see much point as it only operates a couple of services a day

    DTG have said the 700 will never come due to licensing.

    That's what they said before, but things have changed now after the 700 came to TSC

    They probably didn’t say ‘never’
