The first question is for TSW3 if we get expansions for London commuter, Harlem line Southeastern high speed, and Boston sprinter, what would your ideas be and why? Second question if you had any ideas for underground/metro routes what would they be and what would you like to see from them? Third question if you had ideas to improve the creators club and the livery designer what would you add? Example I would add an option for livery templates selectable sections on the locomotive?
First: Theoretically impossible without rebuilding large parts of the routes - hs1 (St Pancras- ashford) got rebuilt from the ground up 2nd: Litterally any subsurface line. 3rd: I never use it - I'd update the scenario planner heavily and that's it
I wouldn't do it like that. I'd look at making dynamic timetables that worked on "what DLC tiles does the player have" and then apply this to routes which allowed it. That way DLC chaining would be possible and indeed I'd encourage a DLC network approach maybe centered on Birmingham in the UK as an example Croydon Tram, Any Ubahn or Strassenbahn route in Germany etc. London Underground is far too automated Liveries are useless unless you can limit their application (ie specific liveries on specific locos or units). The skins seem to show up randomly so a livery that's on one train would show up on several... With regards to scenario planner, make it much more like the one in TSC, but then put the TSW disptacher onto it's operation. Make the dispatcher "signal led" so you set the departure time of the trains from their points on the line and then the dispatcher does the rest (with the player able to set longer stops, but not shorter). Also allow for trains to be placed at either stations, junctions or signals along the route with an initial starting speed. This would allow you to put blocker trains in at scenario start and have adverse signals from the off. You can do this in TSC with a bit of file hacking trickery
Also Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr by building the Mülheim Styrum branch to Oberhausen Hbf that way it's prepared to become Hollandstrecke Amsterdam-Duisburg/Bochum or Hollandstrecke Duisburg/Bochum Utrecht. That is building the Mülheim Styrum triangle junction to Oberhausen Hbf then the Oberhausen Zevenaar Arnhem Utrecht.

Personally the only existing routes I'd really like to see get a makeover and extension are TVL (to Boulby and Bishop Auckland with a Class 56 and Class 142 Pacer) and NTP to Liverpool and York with a Class 25 and Class 124 TP DMU. Otherwise I would rather the effort went into creating new routes with more diverse regionalisation.
Regarding London Commuter, I think multiple, smaller extensions of the route would be better rather than one big extension such as to London Bridge (preferably, this should be in a new route like the South London Line, which could also include the Thameslink Core as a bonus). Anyway, back to London Commuter, I think the most obvious extension is the Wivelsfield link (which is 9 miles of countryside with two rural stations) to connect with the ECW at Lewes. Other extensions which I think are realistic that could be added are the branches to Caterham and Tattenham Corner to give some of the Southern Metro services more variety. Additionally, at Brighton, extending to Hove would add a whole new bunch of 313 services, while the station would be the new logical start/end point for Victoria to Littlehampton services, plus 387 ECS moves to Hove sidings. One other, but less realistic option, is to Horsham - even though on the Arun Valley Line, the station is a logical endpoint and is just under 10 miles after branching off from Three Bridges. Finally, while not really extensions as the stations can actually kind of be visible already on London Commuter, but would be nice to see individual stations added. For example, Reedham and Coulsdon Town (on the branch to Tattenham Corner) can be seen from the main line. Elsewhere, I was surprised it was not included due to it being right next to Selhurst Depot, but the addition of Norwood Junction is a logical choice, mainly as it would give some of the London Bridge services (plus the Southeastern 375 ones too) an extra station (and added variety). One last station I think could be added too due to its proximity is West Croydon, again with a new start/end point for some of the services (instead of Selhurst), it would add some freshness and variety.
