    Okay,
    So I know it’s a long shot, but I would love Dovetail Games to start releasing global Underground network expansions, or stand-alone Underground games.
    The London Underground, The French Metro, The U-Barn, Tokyo Metro, Moscow Metropolitan, Milan Metro, Barcelona Metro, New York City Subway, Sydney Metro - the options are endless.
    I love driving the Bakerloo Line, it’s an excellent example of the potential of this style of train sim.
    If I could code and create games, I’d be doing this now, and working with the respective underground networks in their countries.
    I can dream on..!

    I agree, a separate ‘Metro Simulator’ would be good because it would allow more focus on these routes for people who enjoy them, just like how DTG is now doing a ‘Tram Sim’ series.

    I would also love another separate London Underground experience as it prevents me from waiting for an average route to get released. The only routes I get excited about are London Underground and Overground routes. It is the greatest network in the world and I would love for it to get recreated. Despite the Bakerloo line being 2 games old, I still play that route everyday. We should get Dovetail involved to see if this sort of game would be possible.

    I might question this with the DTG staff after the roadmap is released to see whether this is possible. I would love a London Underground game .

    We all just spend our time on these forums dreaming. Hopefully our dreams come true. I admire trains and all I wish for is another London Underground route. Despite my preference of the Central line, I would take any other London Underground line.

    The majority of people enjoy the London Underground routes and Metro but there are a small minority which are preventing DTG from creating the routes.

    I have got a lot of enthusiastic people on this forums page and I was wondering whether a subway game would ever feature on the console . We would love a remaster of bustling subway routes and it would offer such a greater experience. I must admit that when reading roadmaps I only look for London Underground or Overground routes. We have seen your company create a tram simulator and I was wondering whether the upcoming dovetail direct article will be about a new game. Sorry to disturb you but this post has me engaged and I know that you are extremely busy sharing and developing content. I do not expect a response in the near future. I am really excited the new roadmap and upcoming content. Thanks for reading this DTG Alex DTG JD DTG Adam

    There's one route you forgot it's JT's Metropolitan Line. That's advertised on the Blackpool to Ormskirk route via Preston manual cover. That one is highly requested.

    Yes! The Metropolitan Line, DLR, The Liz Line - all the lines, all interconnected all available to play on. Each line has a training mode with the relevant train stock, correct stations 3d modelled up to the ticket halls. Heck, even the opportunity to work a shift in the ticket office! I mean why not? Immersion is everything!

    The Metropolitan Line is an underground line whilst the Elizabeth and DLR are crossrail routes.

    Yes, absolutely right, but it would be brilliant to be able to add the cross rail lines in to the underground game as they connect with underground stations and have close associations with established train lines.
    It just adds that extra level of immersion. It shows the overall thinking process has considered all interacting routes.
    Just my take on it..!

    I love the Central line. I would also like the District line as my second choice as I live the scenery and S7 train stock however the Central line is my local line

    The Underground is incredible. It offers such variation. It is revolutionary.

    I understand why you would love the picadilly line though. It is iconic and they are going to get rid of the 1973 stock and it may be a good time to preserve the trains
