    It would be nice if the 378 came in the older and Aventra style livery.
    Also dont forget 710s at willisden Junction on the Watford DC.

    I would love to see this route towards Stratford, because every time I fly to London l, I somehow end up at Stratford, ether if it is just for getting a Sandwich, or when I need to go to the Airport

    Same, whenever I visit London I always end up at Stratford at some point. It’s a convenient place to change trains for all the things I need to do in and around London. So I’d also like this route.

    I would absolutely dream of having these routes. If underground is too difficult then these along with SWR would be my next choices.

    If Goblin does well there is a slightly higher chance they will use the 710 for something else. This route would be a good bet since it’s more popular and the majority of it is an AC route.
