    I think the coolest British route should be getting a remaster too since people really liked the route back in Train Sim World 2.
    I only have 2 suggestions for it so far.
    • Class 700 should be on the route remaster
    • Additional Class 455 as a separate add-on
    If you have more suggestions reply if you want to.

    That would actually make the route a lot better in so many ways

    I personally think it's too recent to get a remaster. There are older UK routes that should get it first.

    I think it should be merged with ECW with the line to Lewes, as well as the line to London Bridge, the Tattenham Corner Line, the Hove Shuttle, and a possible Ore extension.

    That would make the route way too long, and extending it is beyond the scope of a remaster anyway.

    I think it is far too soon for a London Commuter remaster and I do not think it would see an extension since it's already so busy, as nice an idea as it might be to drive to London Bridge as an example. However, I think East Coastway could do with some long-overdue love by DTG for a remaster and an extension to Ore. Then you will see additional traffic from Southeastern from Hastings going towards London Charing Cross, as well as the 171 (reskinned 170 or sold as separate DLC) between Eastbourne and Ore towards Ashford International.

    Don't forget the Wivelsfield branch as well.

    With that, I feel it would be better to have it in London Commuter from Lewes so you can drive to the end, rather than going to Wivelsfield on East Coastway and ending the service for AI to takeover. It would feel incomplete.

    Either or for me but really must be included at some point. Furthermore, if ECW ever sees a remaster, AI traffic at Brighton is a number one must for me as the ECW Brighton is far too quiet.

    It didn't get a remaster. It got an extension.

    • Gatwick Express with the 442
    • Remove the 375s diversion from Redhill to East Croydon leave them at Victoria (npcs)
    • Add class 700
    • Combine the GWR part 1&2 services in the timetable from Reigate to Gatwick Airport no ending at Redhill and starting again for part 2.

    I feel like im the minority here but i feel like the route is finally stable enough and not as buggy. Id prefer to have it left alone than get the ny-trenton treatment where everything gets all broken. I also dont like the washed out tod 4 lighting. I would like the 700 on it though.

    Two items that definitely need to be added are the Croydon and Crystal Palace TV masts which can be seen for miles around. They should be visible from East Croydon and various points towards Clapham Junction.
