    I was thinking of a route from London Liverpool Street to Cambridge North which includes Stansted Airport and the branch line to Hertford East and including Stratford. You can also include the London Overground at Cheshunt and Stratford and Southeastern High Speed services at Stratford.

    There wouldn't be any Southeastern services at Stratford as Southeastern operates at Stratford Int'l instead

    I think it would be better just to leave out Stratford and leave that for a chance of the GEML since it creates more space for them to actually go down to CMB and SSD.

    Yeah good point. It could however link a future overground route to Gospel Oak?

    You can include it however as the Greater Anglia line goes over it l. Like the new overground route combines other routes

    I only said that because the way routes are made, the more things in the route e.g. buildings, tracks etc makes less room for more miles. So if Stratford was left for the GEML since it's a main hub for the GEML it can give DTG more space in game to complete the route end to end. :) But for LO you would see the Lea Valley Line and I'm guessing you'll be able to drive it as well if they were to include it all.

    I would love to have the major terminal of London Liverpool Street rail station in the game in TSW4. It would be vital to include the London section and I hope that this route will become possible

    This would be a good route and it's definitely possible but not with Greater anglia maybe NXEA and it should be the stretch from Liverpool Street to Ipswich instead

    That would still be good. A shame that GEML can not work

    Liverpool Street to Ipswich is the GEML.

    I like the GEML set in the current day but I have heard that licensing is an issue

    Yes there are issues but it can still be enjoyed with the class 90s etc

    I think preferably instead of going to Cambridge, we cut it short to Stanstead Airport BUT we can have the Hertford East, Enfield Town, Cheshunt and Chingford branch. That would be much better so you have way more full services.

    That would be more interesting as it has multiple branches and would offer more variation in services.

    Certainly indeed, it's way better to play different routes with different trains than just one or two trains on two branches: that's not very appealing.

    We need interesting routes, ideally with branch lines. We purchase these add ons for a lot of money so it would be great if the companies that create it put a lot more effort into it.

    A route to Cambridge would also enable layers of 387s & 700s coming off the Royston branch.
    387s would need reskinning but the 700s are good to go.

    I'd be happy with any electric line in East Anglia. WAML would be a good addition.
    NSE to 2012 are most likely so 315s and 317s, maybe sneak a 379 in too. Or you could go for 1989-1991 with a mixture of Classes 310 (slamdoor), 315, 321 and 322. A few 47s hauling MK2s to Kings Lynn.

    That is a really good idea.

    The route between London Liverpool Street and Cambridge takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes
