Train Sim World 3 Thameslink Core London St. Pancras Intl To East Croydon Via Elephant And Castle + Via London Bridge

This Route would start in st pancras international Thameslink platforms and would form two seperate routes branching off at Blackfriars and both joining back up at East Croydon

Why do we need this route?
i think personally this route would be interesting as the first few stations as far as blackfriars are automatically operated, power changeover at farringdon, and busy commuter rail hubs plus london bridge would not be dead as we have the ai trains for this route

the route details:
the route via london bridge would be 15 miles and 27 chains
the route via elephant and castle would be 12 miles and 59 chains
stats from railmiles
the route would have 21 stations
including:
St Pancras Intl
Farringdon
City Thameslink
Blackfriars
Elephant and Castle
Loughborough Junction
Herne Hill
Tulse Hill
West Norwood
Gipsy Hill
Crystal Palace
Norwood Junction
East Croydon

Via London Bridge
London Bridge
New Cross Gate
Brockley
Honor Oak Park
Forest Hill
Sydenham
Penge West
Anerly
Norwood Junction
East Croydon

Locos and Rolling Stock
Class 700/1 Desiro City
we are getting the class 700/0 but when they do plan to do the 700/1 this is a good oppurtunity
Class 466 Networker
essentially the 2 car version of the class 465 in game with a few modifications this could be included and used on most of the route
Class 376 Electrostar
Ah yes not again another electrostar however they are really common on this route and would be a mistake if not added on the london bridge section

Overall a short but 'capital refresh' route adding some bits of london we don't currently have
feel free to suggest changes in route or locos in the comments lemme know what you guys think

 

forgot ai
ai would be as follows:
377s at london bridge maybe drivable possibly i might be wrong and they go a complete different way
376s might also be added to some parts of sehx as driveable services and/or ai driven services
also 466s the same
hopefully the problem surrounding london commuter's overcrowded timetable will be fixed and the 700/1s will layer on there
also 700/0s will be usable on this route if you have purchased that dlc

 

Good idea! Would definitely add to the Southeastern variety instead of one route being constantly expanded upon.

 

That would be one of the most boring things imaginable. Running automatically through Central London, and only driving from EC to Blackfriars? No thank you.

If London Bridge were to come into the game, a South London Network type DLC would be more than preferred, for me at least.

 

That's not what I read from the OP
Driving from Blackfriars via EC to East Croydon
Or Driving from Blackfriars via LBG to Anerley

 

By 'EC' I was referring to East Croydon, although if that means something else, fair enough.

 

Ah, I though Elephant & Castle... my bad
Still... the Anerley run was also included in their suggestion

 

I originally intended it to be a fork that joined back up so forking at blackfriars and joining back up at Norwood junction where both routes would carry on to east Croydon, the most important thing to take from this is that *both* routes were to go to East Croydon *Not* Finishing at Anerley

 

In game it would be an option as whether to run automatically or in all fairness it probably wouldn't be a feature just something I thought I'd mention

 

Bring it on and Great Northern has references on ato etcs


You must keep these rules in mind at the core section

 

Excellently route Idea!!
It's something that's sorely missed in what we have right now' stunning environment of the unique city of London. Each route below departs from London with the exception of Bakerloo Line which then goes completely underground. I like the idea of being able to see a route in the game that would run through the city with great visibility.
