    Today, I am suggesting a Thameslink route for Train Sim World. It would run between St. Albans City and Sutton via the Wimbledon Loop (Both Directions). This route would include the Class 700’s.

    More information can be found in this video:


    There can be a possible connection to Southeastern High-Speed at St. Pancras, and/or a Connection to a future London-Brighton route.

    Tell me your thoughts on this suggestion in the comments below.

    The only thing I saw was that they don't have the license. What is the licensing issue?

    Yeah, I think any Thameslink route would work greatly in TSW. I'd really like to see how they can do the portion through central london.

    I support the idea. It would be cool to get Thameslink in the game

    Great. Hopefully, DTG can get the license from Thameslink and create this route.

    ZeenozPlays , there is ATO operation in central London thameslink, if it were to be simulated, it would probably be simulated in the days of the class 319’s. Dtg told Geoff Marshall in an interview that when selecting what routes to make for the underground they chose manual lines because they have more engagement, although this would definitely be a good route

    Never knew it operated under ATO. I'd bet on them still doing it in the Modern Day though, that ATO portion is probably only in central London, and it shouldn't take away from possibly having the Class 700's in the game.

    For this route. I wouldn't even care. I would really just be paying attention to the scenery anyway. SO COMPUTER... take over.

    Would be nice to have the mix of ATO and manual driving on one route (with the option to drive manually in the Core section too). Bedford to Brighton might be pushing it because of its length but it would connect nicely with East Coastway!

    It would indeed. Maybe it can be connected to this route

    I did briefly mention that, but then retracted it because it would probably be too ambitious.
