I'd really like a SWML route out of Waterloo. Maybe DTG can replicate their PDL W'loo - Portsmouth Harbour with Hampton Court included I dont mind the era but 450 and 444 would make a lot of sense to include.
Any electric end to end route gets my vote. Waterloo to Portsmouth is a nice run and the Desiros are lovely responsive units to drive in TSC so they'd work just as well in TSW. Could also repurpose the Desiro City 700s as 707s for suburban services. Get them all in Stagecoach colours as I believe SWR is one of the companies that's difficult to get licences from.
Yes please! Of course there were actually two distinct systems if I recall my bit of research into the prototype.
I'd personally like to see whitemoor yard, ely depot, some of the runs over towards Cambridge, Norwich. I think whilst there's loads of freight most of it is just 30 min stoppers
RHDR The Romney Hythe Dymchurch Railway might be something interesting. The route is thirteen and a half miles in length, and usually operates year round, with steam and diesel locos. It's 15 inch gauge track. Rode behind steam on this route during the mid 80s.
The north east has some good routes Middlesbrough via Sunderland to Newcastle then Carlisle with the arriva trains.
DTG really need to explore more of their TSC London routes and bring them to life in TSW, so that they can feature the 375, 465 and 700 more with the 466 and 707 as paid dlc. I also find all the London TSC routes coming out of London Blackfriars or London Bridge heading to Orpington a nice drive.
I'd love a proper 465/466 Pack, with the Hitachi Motors included too (sound similar to the 395 (for me anyways)). We could have some proper 10 car services if we had a route out of the London Terminis. I guess people are tired of the usual southern routes, although saying that I really want a South Western Trains/Railways Route utilising the 455 to Hampton Court and if they limit the route to Guildford I'd want the commuter lines. The 450 should be OK to do as it looks similar to the 350/1, a 444 may need a bit more work as the body dimensions are slightly different width and length wise and the doors are different. I'd be very happy, I really hope they do sort something out as the 455s don't have long to go with the 701s rolling out (I think the 455s will be around for a few years to come, the 701s don't seem to be rolling out fast).
I'd be with the route suggestion from 85hz. I'm assuming it's Waterloo onward to Guildford via Woking, with the branch lines up to the tiny Hampton Court station? A familiar route for me, I've used it a lot over the last fourteen years, when I'm in the South. Though I'd be happy with any route North or South so long as it's busy.And a few branches for varied services. Love to see a 175 in TSW one day also.
Waterloo to Portsmouth is one I'd like to see on tsw. Is a great route on tsc. It's a shame about the performance. If it did come to tsw, I doubt it would ever live upto tsc standards though.
You'll spot a trend here but here I go, in no particular order..... C2C - circa 2002. Class 312s and 357s. GEML (London to Ipswich and/or Clacton) any post-steam era WAML (Liverpool St & Stratford to Cambridge & Stansted Airport) any post-steam era North London LO Lines (Liverpool St - Broxbourne/Enfield/Chingford) maybe during the transition from 315s to 710s for variety. Metropolitan Line. Circa 2011 with A and S stock. I may just have a passion for London and East Anglian electrics and rolling stock transition eras.
There is a fella building London. I don't know if you have seen the post already https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/london.81279/ I would love this route.
Yes, although based on the release of recent routes I wouldn't think we'd go fully to Portsmouth so Guildford makes a good amount of sense. If its possible I'd like the commuter lines to Guildford via Epsom for more 455 usage.
I remember a route from TSC, it was the Didcot coal run that was fun. I also like the idea of Carlisle to Newcastle, did a Deltic ever do that? Love a diesel for that route. I remember Matt saying on a stream that it was criminal that there wasn't a Deltic in the game, hmmmm.
Also London Bridge could be connected up with East Croydon allowing the mentioned trains and the 700's to go to Brighton for those without pc's and the excellent 700 mod for the BML. Another London route crying out to be done would be the Overground with the Class 378. Especially West Croydon, with the short Crystal Palace branch, to Highbury and Islington. This would then add 378's to the line also used from LB. It would be complete with 378's, 377's and 700's.
I don’t think the SEML through Hither Green, Orpington, Sevenoaks etc has even been done in TSC to my knowledge, I would donate one of my kidneys for that route. We could do with a couple more subclasses of Networker (the /9s were an odd choice to begin with). I’m going to hide before someone throws something heavy and metallic at me for asking for another one handle DC EMU.
