    Today, I propose to you the district line. I am unsure whether I have recommended this line previously. However, I promise that this will provide a substantial amount of details you will need about to know about this spectacular line. The District Line is a London Underground route that spans from Upminster in the east and Earls Court in the west, where it branches towards Wimbledon, Richmond, Edgware Road and Ealing Broadway. They use the beautiful, walk through S7 stocks and there would be the possibility of including the D stock and setting this route in the past. There would also be the possibility of including the C Stock if the branch line to Edgware Road from Wimbledon was included. However I would most certainly take the route from Upminster to Ealing Broadway.

    Ealing Broadway to Wimbledon would complement GWE. Upminster to Cannon Street would complement the Goblin.

    Start and end points could differ to what I've said above, or we could even go from Upminster to Ealing Broadway (which is probably unlikely due to length).

    The route would be great from Upminster to Ealing Broadway. We have seen TSW4 work hard on the foreign routes such as S Bahn voralberg which are very elongated so I believe that they would be capable of the task of creating this spectacular route. I would love the S7 stocks to feature and even the Hammersmith and City line would be great as it would offer some AI traffic at Barking. The District Line runs at a high frequency so it would compliment the Goblin beautiful. They need to create another route that covers Barking otherwise it will look very empty.

    The Diatrict line is 24 miles long between Upminster and Ealing Broadway and they could also do an additional add on for the route by extending it to its other branches. They could request that Just Trains make it as they have previously worked on this project or for them to provide additional support.

    maxresdefault-1.jpg This is a picture of the PIS (Passenger information system) which is in sync with the announcements. I do admire these trains and if you have not been on them then I belive that you should take a trip one day on these incredible trains. They connect bustling parts of London with the beautiful scenery of the West.

    District line would be great, I’d prefer it set around 2016 when the D and S stocks were both in service

    That would be really fun. If I could only have one though, I would choose the D stock.

    Don't forget the C Stock for the Wimbledon to Edgware Road service's as well as the S Stock

    You are correct. I completely forgot about that. Thanks very much for that mooredean1978. I will edit my thread and ensure I include that.

    This is a picture of the D stock and its interior. I must admit that these trains were a nightmare to ride on so the change to the S7 stocks were most certainly required. The S7 stocks are probably my favourite train on the entire underground
