    Hi guys today I’m going to be suggesting the line from Liverpool Street to Southend Victoria but it’s set in 2019, the trains in this suggestion will be the class 321,315,322,345 and 360.
    Let’s start with the class 321
    upload_2023-7-23_11-57-41.jpeg
    This is the Class 321.
    The British Rail Class 321 is a class of electric multiple unit (EMU) passenger train built by British Rail Engineering Limited's York Carriage Works in three batches between 1988 and 1991 for Network SouthEast and Regional Railways. The class uses alternating current (AC) overhead electrification. The design was successful and led to the development of the similar Class 320and Class 322.

    After operating for various trains operating companies after the privatisation of British Rail, they were latterly operated by Greater Angliauntil April 2023. Some have been converted to Class 320 and are operated by ScotRail.
    In service 1988–present[1]
    Manufacturer British Rail Engineering Limited
    Built at Holgate Road Works, York
    Family name BR Second Generation (Mark 3)
    Replaced Class 307
    Constructed 1988–1991
    Refurbished 2013–2017
    Number built 117
    (66 × 321/3, 48 × 321/4, and 3 × 321/9)[2]
    Number in service 1
    (plus 12 converted to Cl. 320/4)
    Number scrapped 49
    Successor
    Formation
    • 4 cars per unit;
    • 321/3 and /4 units:
      DTCO-PMSO-TSO-DTSO
    • 321/9 units:
      DTSO-PMSO-TSO-DTSO
    Diagram (See § Vehicle numbering)
    Fleet numbers
    • 321/3: 321301–321366
    • 321/4: 321401–321448
    • 321/9: 321901–321903
    Capacity
    • As-built:
    • 321/3: 313 seats
      (20 first-class, 293 standard)
    • From 2015:[1]
    • 321/3: 303 seats
      (16 first-class, 287 standard)
    • 321/4: 299 or 307 seats
      (16 or 28 first, 271 or 291 std.)
    • 321/9: 309 seats
      (all standard-class)
    These trains used to operate on silverlink which used to be the London Overground as well.
    These trains were scrapped this year but this suggestion is set in 2019 which does not mean that we can’t add this unit to the game.
    The Class 720 and 755 and 745 weren’t added to this suggestion as they didn’t enter service in 2019 and don’t stop at Shenfield.

    This is the interior of the Class 321 on Greater Anglia. These trains did loud sounds when departing a station. These trains were refurbished in 2022 and replaced these seats with the ironing board seats.
    These trains are quite nice but some faults can happen as they are quite old and dusty.
    upload_2023-7-23_12-3-29.jpeg
    This is the driver cab of the Class 321.
    The driver cab is quite rusty but these trains were just quite nice and nostalgic.
    It features AWS aswell and DSD alerts.
    These trains could also go up to speeds of 100mph (163.93km/h.)
    I have never rode these class 321 trains but I have been on the class 455 on SWR I just like the old trains more.
    Now let’s look at the Class 315.
    upload_2023-7-23_12-8-35.jpeg
    This is the Class 315.
    These used to run on TFL Rail but these trains got scrapped in December 2022 but it doesn’t mean these should not come to the game as this route is in 2019.
    The British Rail Class 315 was a fleet of alternating current (AC) electric multiple unit(EMU) trains, built by British Rail Engineering Limited at Holgate Road Carriage Works in Yorkbetween 1980 and 1981; they replaced the Class 306 units. It was the fifth and final variant of unit derived from British Rail's 1971 prototype suburban EMU design which, as the BREL 1972 family, eventually encompassed 755 vehicles across Classes 313, 314, 315, 507 and 508. Revenue services with Class 315 units commenced in 1980 and continued until December 2022.[2][6]

    This is the Class 315 driver cab.
    As you see can see it’s the same cab design as the 313, 314 and 317 but these trains were quite nice that I want these in service again.
    It does feature the AWS and DSD Systems on these units.
    Now let’s look at the Class 322.
    upload_2023-7-23_12-17-24.jpeg
    This is the Class 322. It looks like the Class 321 but it has a dark blue colour.
    The British Rail Class 322 was a class of electric multiple unit passenger train built by British Rail Engineering Limited in 1990 for the Stansted Express service from London Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport. After becoming surplus to requirements on this route, the fleet saw further use with a number of other operators.

    Now let’s move onto another potential DLC which is the Class 345.
    upload_2023-7-23_17-2-2.jpeg
    This is the Class 345. In 2019 it used to operate on the TFL Rail sharing tracks with the Class 315 units from Liverpool Street to Shenfield. TFL Rail stopped operating in 2022 after the opening of the Elizabeth line and TFL converted the TFL Rail into the Elizabeth line after it opened. The British Rail Class 345 Aventra is a fleet of electric multiple unit passenger trains built by Bombardier Transportation for use on London's Elizabeth line. Part of Bombardier's Aventrafamily of trains, the contract for their delivery was awarded as part of the Crossrail project in February 2014. A total of 70 nine-car units – each able to carry 1,500 passengers – were constructed in Derby between 2015 and 2019, at a cost of over £1 billion. The first unit entered service on 22 June 2017.

    Family name Aventra

    Capacity 1500 total (454 seated, 1046 standing)
    Owner(s) 345 Rail Leasing[5]
    Operator(s)
    Depot(s)
    Line(s) served
    This is the interior of the Class 345. It has the same seating maquette of the Class 315 and provides faster TFL Services to Shenfield.
    The first unit entered service in 2017 on TFL Rail. TFL Rail also did services from Paddington-Heathrow and Paddington to Reading.
    upload_2023-7-23_17-8-59.jpeg
    These trains are also walkthrough which is quite good as it helps prevents overcrowding on these trains. Well I know these trains are 9 coaches long but to make it more realistic it has to be 7 coaches because from 2017 to 2020s these had 7 coaches only on TFL Rail.

    These units also feature LED smart screens on the ceiling of the train to show where the next stop is and it also shows disruptions on every TFL Line and national rail services.
    As you can see some stops are not on the list.
    When the train gets closer to where you want to go that station will appear on the screen, it is needed to provide more space on the LED Screen.

    This is the drivers cab of the Class 345.
    It features AWS and DSD.
    You have to twist the power handle on these trains to start driving. It the power handle is idle twist it and pull it towards you to drive but to break push it fowards.
    These trains also feature air conditioning which is quite good for passengers during the hot weather.

    This is London Liverpool Street station.
    The station is quite busy everyday.
    Liverpool Street station, also known as London Liverpool Street,[6][7] is a central London railway terminus and connected London Undergroundstation in the north-eastern corner of the City of London, in the ward of Bishopsgate Without. It is the terminus of the West Anglia Main Line to Cambridge, the Great Eastern Main Line to Norwich, commuter trains serving east London and destinations in the East of England, and the Stansted Express service to Stansted Airport.
    The station opened in 1874, as a replacement for Bishopsgate station as the Great Eastern Railway's main London terminus. By 1895, it had the most platforms of any London terminal station. During the First World War, an air raid on the station killed 16 on site, and 146 others in nearby areas. In the build-up to the Second World War, the station served as the entry point for thousands of child refugees arriving in London as part of the Kindertransport rescue mission. The station was damaged by the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing and, during the 7 July 2005 bombing, seven passengers were killed when a bomb exploded aboard an Underground train, just after it had departed from Liverpool Street. New platforms for the Elizabeth lineopened in 2022 as part of the Crossrail project.[8]

    Liverpool Street was built as a dual-level station, with provision for the Underground. A tube station opened in 1875 for the Metropolitan Railway; the tube station is now served by the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. It is in fare zone 1 and is managed directly by Network Rail.[9]
    I
    t is one of the largest stations in London and serves Fast direct trains to Essex.

    This is Stratford Station.
    There is actually a steam train statue outside the station entrance near the bus station.
    Stratford is a major multi-level railway station which rates as the fifth busiest station in Britain,[17] serving the district of Stratford and the mixed-use development known as Stratford City, in the London Borough of Newham, east London.

It is also the busiest station on the Tube network outside Travelcard Zone 1.
    On the Underground it is a through-station on the Central line between Mile End and Leyton, and it is the eastern terminus of the Jubilee linefollowing West Ham. On the DLR it is a terminus for some trains and for others it is a through-station between Stratford High Street and Stratford International. On the Overground it is the terminus of the North London Line following Hackney Wick; on the main line it is served by Elizabeth line stopping services between Paddington and Shenfield and by medium- and longer-distance services operated by Greater Anglia to and from numerous destinations in the East of England. There are also limited off-peak services operated by c2c connecting to the London, Tilbury and Southend line to Shoeburyness.

    The station was opened in 1839 by the Eastern Counties Railway. Today it is owned by Network Rail and is in Travelcard zone 2/3.[18] To distinguish it from Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire it is sometimes referred to as Stratford (London),[2] or as Stratford Regionalto differentiate it from Stratford International, which is some 400 yards (370 m) to the north.[1]Stratford served as a key travel hub for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games held in London.[19] By the most recent National Rail entry and exit figures, it is the 5th busiest station in Britain (previously the busiest).[20]

    The last station is Southend Victoria.
    Southend Victoria railway station is the eastern terminus of the Shenfield to Southend Line in the East of England, a branch off the Great Eastern Main Line, and is one of the primary stations serving the resort city of Southend-on-Sea, Essex (the other is Southend Central on the London, Tilbury and Southend line). It is 41 miles 42 chains (66.83 km) down the line from London Liverpool Street; the preceding station on the line is Prittlewell. The Engineer's Line Reference for the line is SSV; the station's three-letter station code is SOV.
    Now that’s all of the stations on the line concluded.
    Now let’s look at the routes for each EMU.
    The Class 315 will do services from London Liverpool Street to Shenfield and then Shenfield to Liverpool Street.
    Sometimes the Class 315 will terminate at Gidea Park from Liverpool Street.
    The Class 321 Will get services to Southend Victoria, the Class 321 will get a service to Colchester Town but players can drive it as far as Shenfield for the Colchester Town Route.
    The reason I didn’t choose the Class 90 and DVT is because they stop between Stratford and Colchester.
    The Class 321 will also get services to Ipswich and Braintree.
    The Class 322 will be coupled to Class 321 services.
    The routes for the Class 360 potential DLC is Liverpool Street to Colchester and Colchester to Liverpool Street.
    But the Class 345 potential DLC will be Liverpool Street to Shenfield and Shenfield to Liverpool Street via Stratford.
    Liverpool Street to Southend Victoria takes an 1hr and Liverpool Street to Shenfield takes 25-40 minutes.
    Thank you for looking at this suggestion.
    Have a nice day and remember to put your thoughts in the comments below.

    Good suggestion for a largely self contained route.
