Rolling Stock Class 377 EMU Class 387 EMU Class 700 EMU Class 166 DMU Class 313 EMU The class 166 would be available as layers for those who own Great Western Express DLC.

Services For those who own the East Coastway DLC, there might be the opportunity to merge the routes together. Stations in brackets are where the service would continue to if the route was extended further. Stations in italics are where services would continue to if the player owns East Coastway. The rolling stock is indicated in red. The frequency, in trains per hour (tph) is shown in blue.

These would be included as AI, but would not be driveable. Map This map shows the stations included in the route. The section highlighted in yellow would only be available to those who own East Coastway. The red line is Gatwick Express. The green line is Southern. The purple line is Thameslink.
If you wanted to "join" this with East Coastway, my suggestion for joining routes might be the way to do it. (it doesn't require new paths to be built within routes, which is one of the greatest hurdles they said in a stream). Also, a very good suggestion!
Excellent idea but here's the thing if they wanted class 700 they need to ask the parent company of Southern Rail Govia for Thameslink license that should permit Class 700 and Class 387 trains. Also if you own this route then a 2020 setting of GWML Paddington to reading you should be able to layer class 387 from this route to GWML. Since Class 387 replaced class 166 on GWML London Paddington to reading local service. Easy way to tell between a Great Western Railway and a Gatwick Express version is the Red Paint Gatwick Express while Green Paint version GWR
