    We already have a 387 so I wouldn't want to pay for another 387 in a different livery. The class 700 would be better. It runs somewhere on the route but idk where.

    Agreed. The class 700 would be a great addition to the game and would be the newest generation of trains added to the game. Personally, I think that the 387 would be much better suited in a c2c bundle, along with a class 357 and maybe even a 720.

    The 700 runs from Bedford in the North through the central Thameslink core via Blackfriars then out via London Bridge to the South London lines, joining the Brighton Mainline at East Croydon then running all the way to Brighton

    They also run services from north of the core via London Bridge to Rainham via Dartford and Gravesend (so could be used on SEHS),
    Away from TSW routes there's a line that goes from Blackfriars South which "splits in three" serving the Wimbledon loop, or joining the Chatham Mainline and serving Orpington and Sevenoaks.

    700s get a lot of places in South London!
