    INTRODUCTION
    Today I'll be suggesting the Windrush line [also known as the East/South London line] operated by London Overground [owned by Transport for London] this route would be 20 miles long [30 km] with 29 stations in total.

    THE ROUTE


    -The route would have 20 miles of track in total
    -The route would have 29 stations in total
    -The route runs using 750 volts DC


    STATIONS


    -West Croydon
    -Norwood Junction
    -Anerley
    -Penge West
    -Crystal Palace
    -Sydenham
    -Forest Hill
    -Honor Oak Park
    -Brockley
    -New Cross Gate
    -New Cross
    -Clapham Junction
    -Wandsworth Road
    -Clapham High Street
    -Denmark Hill
    -Peckham Rye
    -Queens Road Peckham
    -Surrey Quays
    -Canada Water
    -Rotherithe
    -Wapping

    ROLLING STOCK

    378/1 & 378/2
    Unit_378146_near_Hoxton.jpg 378201_MSO_DMSO_Interior.jpg
    The class 378 manufactured by Bombardier Transportation at Derby Litchurch Lane Works as part of the Electrostar family from 2008 - 2015 57 of these five car units were built with 20 /1s and 37 /2s this train has a maximum capacity of 1,178 passengers and has an maximum operating speed of 75 mph [121 km/h] the safety systems used are TPWS/AWS and tripcock [378/2 only]



    DIFFERENCE'S BETWEEN THE TWO VARIANTS

    -378/1 uses 750 volts DC only and uses TPWS/AWS

    -378/2 is dual voltage and uses TPWS/AWS

    TFL content is the greatest in my opinion. The Underground is the best network in the world and I love the Overground and Crossrail routes

    Great suggestion: I think the parliamentary train to Battersea park should also be included.

    I really like your suggestion, it would be great to see more Overground routes, especially those that run near the centre

    A nice suggestion. Would be cool to have more London Overground content and have the Capitalstar unit in the game.

    I agree that this is a great suggestion and that this route would be nice. In my opinion the North and West London lines would be better.

    It would pretty much complete the London Overground network in Tsw so long as the Mildmay line gets extended to its full route. Other routes of the London Overground are not needed as much. I am referring to the weaver line however I would still purchase that route
