    "Experience Busting Busy Commuting and the Heart Of Central London, And Pick Up Passengers From The Outer Suburbs Of The Great City Of London, with Train Sim World 2: Hammersmith and City Line"


    The Hammersmith & City line is a London Underground line that runs between Hammersmith in west London and Barking in east London. Printed in pink on the Tube map, it serves 29 stations over 15.8 miles.
    In 1863, the Metropolitan Railway began the world's first underground railway service between Paddington and Farringdon with wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives. The following year, a railway west from Paddington to Hammersmith was opened and this soon became operated and owned jointly by the Metropolitan and Great Western Railway companies. The line was then extended to the east, in stages, reaching the East London Railway in 1884. The line was electrified in 1906, and, in 1936, after the Metropolitan Railway had been absorbed by the London Passenger Transport Route some Hammersmith & City line trains were extended over the former District Railway line to Barking. The Hammersmith & City route was shown on the Tube map as part of the Metropolitan line until 30 July 1990, when it was redesigned as a separate line.

    The track and signalling systems have been upgraded, and the old six-car C69/C77 Stock trains were replaced by new S7 Stock trains from 2012 to 2014 in a programme to increase capacity by 65 per cent by 2019.

    The line runs parallel to the Great Western Main Line between Paddington and Westbourne Park, and parallel to the London, Tilbury and Southend line between West Ham and Barking.

    Would love to see this route set prior to 2009 with the C Stock in service & no dual running with the Circle Line to Hammersmith.

    Indeed. When the Circle Line became more of a Shepherd’s Crook! To be fair though I think you would need the Circle Line included to round things out a bit in which case you could have the C stock and also the D78 to represent the District Line services on the lower section. Scope for heritage DLC too with CO/CP and R stock (the skirted ones) which could still be seen into the early 80’s.
