    This route is one of the most anticipated routes to be recreated in TSW2 since its popularity in Train Simulator. I am one of the many people who would love to see this route in TSW2 and I think it would be one of the most popular routes in the game seeing the amount of people who loved the East Coast Way.
    this route would be sold separately to the East Coast Way so users without the ECW Dlc would still be able to buy the London Bridge - Brighton Dlc.
    For people who have the ECW Dlc they would be able use this in conjunction with the Brighton mainline.
    this route would go from London Bridge to Brighton/Lewes many people would rather the route going to London Victoria where its more widely known from but I think it would be just as good going to London Bridge + London bridge has seen some incredible changes since the release of TS [​IMG]
    NEW
    [​IMG]
    OLD

    if the route goes to London Bridge it also means the possibility of getting a Thameslink class 700 add on in the future which is also on many peoples Wishlist and has many suggestions on the forums.
    And for London Overground lovers, people would be able to drive a Overground reskin of the 377 from New cross gate to Norwood Junction
    the route would have two depots one at Selhurst and one at Brighton the current one for the ECW Dlc.
    the locomotives on this route would be the
    Class 377 Electrostar EMU
    [​IMG]
    and the Class 171 Turbostar DMU
    [​IMG]
    the class 171 introduction would start at the Selhurst depot and would require you to operate the train to Norwood junction station going through all the basic controls needed to operate the train this would take about 10 to 15 mins
    and the 377 introduction would be the same as on the ECW Dlc
    Another locomotive that dovetail yet has to release is the class 313 DVEMU
    which would also be available to use on the Brighton mainline
    Scenarios
    A possible scenario for this route could be driving a Class 171 from London Bridge to East Croydon changing cabs then returning to london bridge a possible name for this scenario could be called The Return Run

    Another possible scenario could include a 377 doing an express service from London Bridge to Brighton stopping at East Croydon this scenario could be called either or Coastal Excursion or The Seaside Run

    Thank you for looking at this suggestion this is the improved version of my previous thread please don't ban me for spam
    Please feel free to comment on this suggestion I will view this thread
    regularly and if you can please DTG make this route possible THANK YOU:)

    London Bridge does look brilliant after it's upgrade, good idea.

    I’d prefer London Bridge to Brighton over Victoria to Brighton, but Victoria to Brighton would be cool too.

    Another reason i would like the line to go to london bridge is that i am very familiar with the line from east croydon to new cross gate if victoria was included i would like to see the line from streatham hill to crystal palace 100%

    The 387 would be a nice addition as well

    This is a great route to suggest. I love the look of London Bridge, with the complexity of the track it would be great fun and also have lots of opportunities to get different signal aspects every time you play.

    I really like the new look for london bridge the southeastern trains mostly run on the left side of the picture and the southern trains usually terminate on the right side of the picture just in front of the shard/the big glass building

    Do you mean a Thameslink version
    [​IMG]
    if we had a class 387 that means i can repaint it into a GWR livery and use it on the GWE
    this also means we would 3 different types of Electrostars in the game

    Cool but DTG says in a FAQ that they don't like double routes because if you have A you'll don't have B but some people would B but not A.
