    This was the first suggestion I made because it passes through my home town but I think I asked for too much and didn't word it very clearly so I'm trying again. Also, yes I understand that a license with SWR would have to be made.

    [Ignore the section for Southampton to Weymouth, the entire SWML is 143 miles and I'm not asking for the entire thing]

    The line between London Waterloo and Southampton Central is around 80.5 miles long with 30 stations, which are:
    - London Waterloo
    - Vauxhall
    - Queenstown Road
    - Clapham Junction (on BML)
    - Earlsfield
    - Wimbledon
    - Raynes Park
    - New Malden
    - Berrylands
    - Surbiton
    - Esher
    - Hersham
    - Walton-on-Thames
    - Weybridge
    - Byfleet & New Haw
    - West Byfleet
    - Woking
    - Brookwood
    - Farnborough
    - Fleet
    - Winchfield
    - Hook
    - Basingstoke
    - Micheldever
    - Winchester
    - Shawford
    - Eastleigh
    - Southampton Airport parkway
    - Swaythling
    - St. Denys
    - Southampton Central

    If the route was to be set in 2025, included motive power should be at least the SWR Class 450, Class 444, Class 455/8 and Freightliner Class 66/5 (have the buckeye coupler removed and alter the headlights)

    Instead of the FKA container flats being reused, I think the FSA should be included because that's the most common container flat I've seen on a container train.

    Maybe Skyhook could make an SWR Class 158 and 159 as an add-on, they are way too similar to be sold separately.

    Driveable timetable layers:
    - XC Class 220 between Basingstoke and Southampton
    - SEHS/ECW Class 66 with JNA's between Southampton and Basingtoke
    - SEHS Class 66 with MFA's between Byfleet & New Haw and Eastleigh
    - SEHS Class 66 with MFA's between Basingstoke and Eastleigh
    - SEHS Class 66 with MFA's between Eastleigh and Southampton
    - EWS/DB Class 66 sub-in on container trains
    - Freightliner Class 70 sub-in on container trains
    - Southern Class 377 between Eastleigh and Southampton
    - GWR Class 166 between Eastleigh and Southampton
    - Flying Scotsman Railtour (it has visited the SWML)
    - ROG Class 37 for some light loco moves, idk

    Ai only timetable layers:
    - Southern, GX and LO services at Clapham Jn
    - SEHS Class 66 with JNA's to Westbury via Romsey at Eastleigh
    - LU Class 484 at Wimbledon
    - Thameslink Class 700 at Wimbledon
    - GWR services at Basingstoke


    The Class 450 and Class 455 could be used as Ai only at Richmond on the extended Mildmay Line and at the Class 444 as well at Clapham Jn on the BML.
