    Rolling stock


    450/1 & 450/0
    images (14).jpeg
    This train would be four coaches long it would use TPWS/AWS the top speed of this train is 100 mph (169 km/h) this train has a few special liveries if they do southwestern railway instead of South West Trains here are the following.

    • 450067 - Key Workers

    •450100 - Transport Benevolent Fund CIO

    •450114 - Fairbridge Investing in the future

    •450127 - Dave Gunson



    458/5
    images (16).jpeg Th This train is five coaches long the top speed of this train is 75 mph (121 km/h) the safety systems on this train are TPWS/AWS.




    Potential DLCS

    •Class 707/0

    •Class 455/7




    Train Depots

    The only depot on this route is Feltham depot

    This train would hold trains running empty hold stock movement or hold trains that are starting services.



    AI

    The HST and class 166 would most likely be spotted at Reading Station.

    I dont think the class 444 runs on this route outside of runs between London-clapham junction where it then continues along the southwestern mainline. it would probably be better to replace it with the class 455 or 707 (assuming we would get 3 trains with a route) but the 450 & 458 are usually the trains you would see on this route
    but a very good suggestion, would love to see anywhere on the southwestern network in the game at some point

    Weird going via Kingston and not the designated Waterloo- reading line.


    Edit: after some research... why did you pick this. According to Google (because I've genuinely never seen a reading service on the kingston loop) its 3TPH on weekends only? Let's just do the reading-Waterloo via Richmond with Windsor and hounslow loop instead- actually give a nice timetable you know

    I belive that's due to engineering works or just how weekend SWR is

    Good route for passenger however I think for freight they should extend it a tiny bit north of Brentford to Acton Wells Jn to connect with the GWML for some freight routes to be possible
