    SCENARIOS

    BASILDON RUN
    Due to the extreme heat causing issues on the tracks trains will terminate at Basildon instead of Shoeburyness going via Chafford Hundred

    THE TILBURY SHUTTLE
    Dive this service formed of 12 coaches to Fenchurch Street via Tilbury once you are done you will be instructed to go into the sidings at West Ham


    SHOEBURYNESS LAKE VIEW
    Ride this service from Southend Central to Shoeburyness after doing so take over the train and head towards Fenchurch Street.

    AI

    -710 at Barking
    -395 passing Rainham

    DEPOTS

    -SHOEBURYNESS sidings

    -WEST HAM sidings

    FEATURES
    If this comes to TSW4 I'd hope to see a fully functional TMS so we could also change the destination so it could be done manually unlike the 375 in SEHS


    CONCLUSION
    If this route came to TSW4 people would be pleased as it would link up with the Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line thanks for reading my suggestion.

    I would love this. We need some form of Ai traffic at Barking for the Suffragette line. I love the Suffragette line by the way

    Seems like everybody who wants this route is starting their own thread, rather than support the most recent one!

    Ditto.
