    I have wanted London Bridge extended to Charing Cross, and even to Cannon Arm. I feel Cannon Arm could potentially be added to this. I also suggested the Sutton and Mole Valley earlier and, while it doesn't go all the way to the London Bridge station itself, it could be merged with South London Network and make all of that available in the middle, so that would be a heck of a merge.

    Please edit your post... "Hitler Green" would be something completely different...

    The North Kent Lines should all be one package because many Cannon Street services that avoid Dartford come up through Erith then loop back at the zone 6 boundary (just past the depot at Slade Green) down the Sidcup line and back to Cannon Street.
    There are also several freight services that come up from the South London lines onto the Kent lines at Lewisham, go through Sidcup and round the loop and onto the South Thames industry (Angerstein Wharf near Charlton is a notable one)

    A missing part of your suggestion is the Greenwich Line, which forms a loop between Charlton and joins the mainline about half a mile after New Cross.

    The four sections added together as one system, especially with both termini at Charring Cross and Cannon Street, with the two passenger depots at Hither Green and Slade Green and the freight depot at Hither Green as well would bring a lot to the game with regards to complete services in and around North Kent and South London

    Good route option; not too long nor too short, lots of variety and service patterns, network style with multiple lines, could be merged with Chatham Main & Medway Valley lines to create a huge mega route. Only thing missing would be the Thameslink 700s, but backdating it to NSE era would be interesting and quite easy given all appropriate stock is available (415,416,423,465,466) and that both Gravesend and London Bridge already exist in their original state in TS. Perfect!

    It's called bumping and is specifically against the forum rules, so hopefully a nice mod will come along and put a stop to it.

    Let's not forget that not everyone has the same faculties.
    You don't have to read these posts, just ignore it.

    budtheweiser I have locked several of your suggestions you have recently bumped. Messaging on threads that are no longer active to get your suggestion noticed or 'bumped' will only result in the posts getting locked and can be quite unpleasant for other users seeing multiple posts spam the forums.

    If you are unsure of the forum rules please give them a read here.

    In the future it is best to keep only 1 thread open with your suggestions and give detailed explanations why you want your suggestion. I have left this thread open so you can continue to discuss any further ideas you have.

    Thank you. It was getting kind of annoying.

    Probably best to let DTG have the last word on this.

    And have the last word they did. No harm in saying thank you to a moderator putting a stop to someone bumping their threads.

    The point is that no further comment is needed.
