At this point i suggest a "Network extension" route addon with the hammersmith & circle line included. With the 3 subway lines (bakerloo, hammersmith & circle), the gwr, high speed to faversham and the brighton mainline will be merged to one network, which is fully accesable whitout going back to mainscreen For another 10Euro the Eastcoast way could be connected to brighton main line. Except for adding the two subway lines i dont see a problem with timetables since the bakerloo lines uses its own platforms Maybe hammersmith and city line is a bit tricky to work with the circle line, but i trust in devs quality to manage that
Why would those lines connect when most don't in real life? GWR, SEHS and BML terminate at different places on the outskirts of Westminster and London so without the overground lines there's nothing to join them together
Its ment to have all in one. Not to drive from bakerloo to brighton with a 72 stock xD The tracks of hammersmith line are running parallel of gwr. So paddington and baker street connect this subway with bakerloo at those stations. Of course those station had to be extended, even with a short walking trip. Along that you reach kings cross and following the circle line you can reach victoria station. Further all that can be extended with london overground, which is suggested today again in combination with underground. For me the 24h timetable mod was a master piece of idea to bring this sim to next level. According to this a merged network makes perfectly sense. I can immagine there are people dont care or need that. Lets say the editor is ready in 1 - 2 years. There would be scenarios possible to use the gwr first as passenger for short to start your shift as a subway driver. And since this all is connected in 24h timetable, people who like just to load the thing and start driving, that would be possible too. Right now most of the rides even in journey mode are from the 24h time table mode. So except i want to play a specific scenario, i start my day on foot and enter the train 10mins earlier. In Ts2021 its mostly loading the scenario and go with no preparation of the train etc.
Forgot to mention: thats why i suggested this to be a network extension addon. For the people dont care about this, they can just drive how it is now
Ah... The link from the GWE to the BML is only from the West, there's no physical link to go from the West London line to Paddington without a reverse or two The SEHS is kind of linked just North of St Pancras, but not really as the SEHS lines are supposed to be physically removed from the remainder as the signalling system is different, even the speed signals in STP itself are different (kmh rather than MPH and white on black rather than the other way round) so it really just doesn't work like that I would happily have the LO routes in all their glory, but given the sheer number of stations to be modelled I doubt DTG will ever get round to doing this
Sorry, I can't see much going for this one... Whilst some might think this could be useful, it just doesn't sound like a goer - they are all separate entities (especially Underground, maybe excluding short little sections like Richmond) other than various spurs and junctions and they are more for freight use. Stuff around freight and Acton Wells/Old Oak Common/North Pole etc might be useful in the west though? You'd never see some old 1972 stock Bakerloo flinging its way through East Croydon going down to Brighton, or pootling along through the HS1 tunnels! I dare say there are many other more viable and realistic things to look at. Just my opinion though...
