    Hey all! I would like to suggest to add the South Western Railway franchise to the game, I am aware of the licensing issues in the past with Island Line, but I think that this route will be good for Train Sim World, as there is already a Class 350, and just small tweaks needed for class 444 and class 450.

    As TSW won't cover the full service to Waterloo, I suggest to do Weymouth - Southampton Central, and at a stretch, Weymouth - Basingstoke. I would love to see these routes, as they are my locals, and would fit well in the game, with the game already featuring Hampshire in the Isle of Wight DLC.

    I hope staff at Dovetail Games will see this and take this into consideration.

    Many thanks,
    aeroquent

    If Southwestern railway isn't available then South west trains is a possibility

    d.heal They weren't able to get licensing for SWR for the Island Line route, so I expect a South West Trains livery if they were to release it.

    A fairly regular suggestion but as always IMHO BR Classic with push pull 33’s between Bournemouth and Weymouth on 4TC units, Weymouth Quay line still open and Class 47’s on inter regional services would be more appealing IMHO.
