The line runs west through a series of South West London suburbs to Reading, in central Berkshire. Its passenger operation is by South Western Railway (SWR), which also manage its stations.

    The average journey time by train between London Waterloo and Reading is 1 hour and 26 minutes, with around 37 trains per day. The journey time may be longer on weekends and holidays,

    The line operate on British rail class 455 emus that were from 1981 and are still operating on SWR.
    There used to be 455s on southern but that was scrapped a couple of months ago.
    What are your thoughts on this SWR line?

    Excellent would love this and for gen 8 consoles and Pc’s you can add southern layers at Clapham and Gwr From reading Upwards. I would also suggest the class 450 and 444 be added for the base route and have the 455 as a dlc like the 313 for East coastway

    Would love to see this in TSW. Maybe add some freight if there is any on that line?

    also 450,458 and 707 trains should serice this route, only the 455 is a bit bland and boring

    YES! Even more so with the Windsor and Eton Riverside branch and the Hounslow loop!
    I'd love a 455, but more often you'd see a 458 and 450s on this route, and later on the 707
