    The line between Redhill and Tonbridge is 20 miles long, but seeing that as a bit short I thought the route should be extended up to Ashford International, bringing the total route length to around 50 - 55 miles.[​IMG]

    Proposed Rolling Stock

    • Class 377/3 in Southern livery[​IMG]
    Operate Southern services between Redhill and Tonbridge
    • Class 375/3 in South Eastern Blue livery[​IMG]
    Operate all Southeastern services in this area.

    Another nice suggestion ties in with bml and East coastway to an extent
    Trains already made
    This if made would be a good route to be out of London but still in 3rd rail territory

    What you are doing here is actually linking Brighton Main Line to Southeast high speeds if extended to Ashford International. The long-term Planning by the developers might be linking East Coast way to Southeast high speed Ebbsfleet to Ashford International via the Marshlink Line then Sell that with this route as the Southeast England Regional Network pack for the same price as West Cornwall local being £24.99 $29.99.

    This route along with Ebbsfleet-Ashford International and North Downs Line would provide connections with Southeastern High Speed, London Commuter and Great Western Express routes with Marshlink also connecting East Coastway. The beginnings of a network. Good suggestion with potential for throwback DLC such as 1st generation DMUs and DEMUs.

    Not sure about this route. It's essentially ~50 miles of straight track with services terminating half way, using variants of trains we already have. There's plenty of more interesting routes out there that should be made first.

    I agree and from what I can see southeastern United Kingdom together with West Germany Ruhr Region can form a Network bundle for the price of £24.99 $29.99

    Fair enough, can understand why this route seems a bit boring.
