    Class 450 (red, blue and yellow livery)
    Class 444 (New SWR Livery)
    This route could also bring great scenery from Southampton Airport and little stations such as Bitterne
    This route can bring a variety trains into Southampton Central such as freight trains on Platform 4 from what would be London to Portsmouth and it would also include trains such as the class 221 from cross country which would bring a variety of not only of the route it set but the trains involved too, This route can have many additional features such as services running from Portsmouth Harbour to Southampton central and then taking control of another service from Southampton Central to Winchester but with stopping services at Southampton Airport Parkway and Eastleigh. In addition Eastleigh has freight trains in action such as the class 70’s which would be run by the company freightliner, overall services would be a great experience especially how trains such as the 450 have stopping services from Portsmouth Harbour to St Denys Via Sholing, Woolston and Bitterne and services in a class 444 from st. Denys to Winchester via Southampton Central. This route would bring Morden day freight and passenger timetables to life through the smaller cities such as Portsmouth, Southampton and Winchester.
    The stations between Portsmouth Harbour and Winchester has a mixture of station lengths which adds to the trains that can be used for certain services such as trains that only stop at the longer stations or the other trains such as the class 450 to stop at smaller stations such as sholing and finial station would be Southampton central.
    The stations above are
    Southampton Airport Parkway
    Bitterne
    Southampton Central
    Portsmouth Harbour
    St Denys
    Winchester
    Southampton Central
    In that order that the pictures are in.
    The class 450 has carriages Up-to 12 but usually has either 4 and 6 unless going all the way to Portsmouth Harbour from Winchester

    I’ve just read through your edited suggestion , and it sounds like a great route for TSW . That is the kind of detail you should aim to put into any route suggestion

    I am unfortunately having some technical difficulties on having any more detailed photos but as soon as I can get the problem resolved I will make sure to put some more detailed photos of the stations

    I hope that these new photos are detailed enough, I have posted the bigger station (Southampton Central) and a smaller one (Bitterne) along with a medium platform (Southampton Airport Parkway)

    I don't think the unofficial, community adopted 'suggestion basics' include Videos or Safety Systems.

    Plus UK routes by default (unless it's the special cases, like HS1, Tyne & Wear, etc)
    all have AWS, TPWS etc.
    So they aren't required details by any measure.

    Generally with the UK assume TPWS and AWS only. There are a few odd ball systems, often legacies of earlier experiments. There seems to be a rule that you can't downgrade safety systems in the UK hence experimental systems are kept even after wider adoption has been ruled out. ETCS is being rolled out but there are only 4 active installations to date

    Examples include ATP on the GWML (not modelled in TSW - in TS AP have done a thing to make the display light up) and another ATP system on the Chiltern (IIRC the Chiltern system is derived from LZB). Also on the Chiltern there is the Underground Trainstop system as Chiltern have running rights over LU tracks between Harrow on the Hill and Amersham. There is also Indusi (PZB) around Sunderland for the Metro, but mainline trains are not fitted. The other oddball system is KVB fitted around St Pancras and Ashford for International services.

    Thanks for the information and KVB is on SEHS because the manual has details on it.
