Expansion London Kings Cross To Peterborough With Hertford Loop And Northern City Line (modern)

I would like to suggest the London Kings Cross to Peterborough section of the East Coast Mainline set in the Modern era, either as an extension to the current Peterborough to Doncaster (preferable), or as a standalone route.

Stations
This section of the East Coast Mainline includes the following stations:

• London Kings Cross
• Finsbury Park
• Harringey
• Hornsey
• Alexandra Palace
• New Southgate
• Oakleigh Park
• New Barnet
• Hadley Wood
• Potters Bar
• Brookmans Park
• Welham Green
• Hatfield
• Welwyn Garden City
• Welwyn North
• Knebworth
• Stevenage
• Hitchen
• Arlesey
• Biggleswade
• Sandy
• St Neots
• Huntingdon
• Peterborough

Freight and Depots
The route should also contain various freight/siding and depot locations, including:

• Nene Carriage Sidings
• Peterborough Eastfield Yard
• Biggleswade Sidings
• Bounds Green T&R. S. M. D
• Hornsey EMUD
• Ferme Park

Trains
The route could include the following trains - either coming with the route, available as separate loco DLC, or layered from previous routes. Not all would be available right away of course due to the sheer quantity, they could be catered for as hidden layers or alternative trains masquerading as those locos, but this section has the potential to offer great variety:

Freight: Class 66

LNER:

• Class 91: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/class-91-intercity-225.91909/
• Class 800
• Class 801

Grand Central Class 180: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/grand-central-class-180-adelante.91954/

Lumo Class 803

Hull Trains Class 802

Thameslink Class 700

Great Northern 379s 387s and 717s

Others:
There is also potential for rail tours (with locos such as 37s, 47s in WCRC livery, and steam - among others). Additionally, there could be runs from the network rail HST or 37 set, if these were added to the game at some point.

Hertford Loop and Northern City Lines

I would also suggest including the Hertford Loop and Northern City Lines

 

I feel like this would be better sometime 2017 to get the HST's and 91's as well as the Class 365's and 313's from Great Northern/FCC.

 

Nice suggestion.
It would make much more sense if this line could connect to the ECML Peterborough - Doncaste. although an extension towards York station would be also great to have.

 

Figured modern era would be kind of interesting, as we would have in cab signalling on the moorgate line. Definitely want 91s, but they are still in operation anyway. Personally fonder of the 700s than 313s

 

Nice suggestion. Would be cool to have London Kings Cross station in the game as well as the Class 91.

 

I agree. This would also be a great way to get used to ETCS should DTG make, say the Cambrian Line for example, in the future. Especially now some lines are receiving ETCS now (ECML to Stoke Tunnel, Grantham, and the Manchester -> Leeds line as part of the Trans Pennine Route Upgrade)
