(Before we begin note that this suggestion is slightly based on the TSC route of Suburban Glasgow Northwest.) Hello, It is I, Poisoned, You may not have heard from in a while but after the (recent) announcement of TSW3 I have been thinking of several ideas: This idea, Probably takes the cake for me. Basic information: This would be a modernized route MOSTLY revolving around the SWML between Waterloo And Guildford with several branch lines such as: The Shepperton branch line (Included all stations up to the branch on the Kingston loop), The Chessington Branch line, The Hampton Court branch and as the main route The new Guildford line. There would also be some Non stop services on the SWML between Waterloo and Guildford. New Guildford Line: This is probably the best place to start being the main highlight of the route, roughly 27-ish miles between Waterloo and Guildford on the new Guildford line and SWML. Stations: London Waterloo Vauxhall Clapham Junction Earlsfeild Wimbledon Surbiton Hinchley Wood Claygate Oxshot Cobam & Stoke d'Abemon Effingham Junction Horsley Clandon London Road (Guildford) Gildford Rolling Stock: Class 450: The class 450 belongs to the Desiro family, They are in a 4 car formation. It uses third rail and reaches speed of up to 100mph. They are roughly 127 built all serving South Western. Class 455: The class 455 belongs to the second generation DB family, and are in a 4 car formation. From this point on all of these trains use third rail UNLESS stated otherwise. They can reach speeds of up to 75 mph, with 84 in service (not all South Western.) Chessington Branch Line: This is the first branch line on the route branching off at Raynes park station. This is certainly one of the most historically interesting routes that south western railway operates. Stations: London Waterloo Vauxhall Clapham Junction Earlsfield Wimbledon Raynes park Motspur Park Malden manor Tolworth Chessington North Chessington South Rolling stock: EXACT same as the previous route Kingston/Shepperton line: This route personally means a lot to me and would easily be my personal most driven route of the options. Stations: London Waterloo Vauxhall Clapham Junction Earlsfield Wimbledon Raynes park New Malden Norbiton Kingston Teddington Fulwell Hampton Kempton Park Sunbury Upper Hailford Shepperton Rolling stock: Previously mentioned 455 + Class 707: Now, you have probably heard the class 700 being suggested about 700 times by now So I will simplify this. 100 mph, 6 coaches etc etc. Hampton Court branch: Last branch line, thanks for reading so far. This is a shorter branch compared to the rest but still feels completely justified to be mentioned Stations: London Waterloo Vauxhall Clapham Junction Earlsfield Wimbledon Raynes park New Malden Berrylands Surbiton Thames Ditton Hampton Court Rolling stock: Same as New guildford line Depots: Wimbledon Traincare Depot: This is between Wimbledon and Earlsfeild and is one of the busiest depots in the country with 250 carriages being managed every day. Ending thoughts: This would be an extremely immersive and engaging route if added, as you all probably know there are not a lot of network routes: The only example really being Clinchfeild. The pricing of this would be between 24.99£ - 29.99£ (convert it yourself lazybones.) That should be it, have a great day and feel free for feedback (will NOT take any, we dont need more southern routes comments)
Thank you, Do remember this isnt a multi route suggestion this is a one mega network bundled into one route suggestion, but other then that thanks.
