Route West Anglia Main Line: London Liverpool Street - Cambridge (+ Some Branches)

Hi everyone,

Heres my suggestion for route for TSW5, which is West Anglia Main Line: London Liverpool Street - Cambridge with Lea Valley Lines, Hertford East branch line & Stansted Airport branch line. This would be a great introduction to the West of England route, which (probably) most players are waiting for in TSW5. This route would be a perfect opportunity to introduce a new London station - London Liverpool Street, and a new carrier - Greater Anglia and Freightliner.
Route:

The route would run from London Liverpool Street to Cambridge (main line), Hertford East and Stansted Airport (both branches). The entire route would be 64.4 miles (103.5 km) or more, including the main line - 55 miles (88 km), the branch to Hertford East - 5 miles (8 km) and Stansted Airport - 4.4 miles (7 km), and branches forming part of the Lea Valley Lines.

Stations:

Main Line:

London Liverpool Street, Bethnal Green, Hackney Downs, Clapton, Tottenham Hale, Northumberland Park, Angel Road (currently closed, replaced by Meridian Water), Meridian Water (opened 2019), Ponders End, Brimsdown, Enfield Lock, Waltham Cross, Cheshunt, Broxbourne, Roydon, Harlow Town, Harlow Mill, Sawbridgeworth, Bishops Stortford, Stansted Mountfitchet, Elsenham, Newport (Essex), Audley End, Great Chesterford, Whittlesford Parkway, Shelford, Cambridge

Stansted Airport branch:

London Liverpool Street, Bethnal Green, Hackney Downs, Clapton, Tottenham Hale, Northumberland Park, Angel Road, Meridian Water, Ponders End, Brimsdown, Enfield Lock, Waltham Cross, Cheshunt, Broxbourne, Roydon, Harlow Town, Harlow Mill, Sawbridgeworth, Bishops Stortford, Stansted Mountfitchet, Stansted Airport

Lea Valley Lines:

(Chingford line):

Hackney Downs, Clapton, St James Street, Walthamstow Central, Wood Street, Highams Park, Chingford

(Enfield Town line):

Seven Sisters, Bruce Grove, White Hart Lane, Silver Street, Edmonton Green, Bush Hill Park, Enfield Town

(Chesnut line, via Seven Sisters):

Seven Sisters, Bruce Grove, White Hart Lane, Silver Street, Edmonton Green, Southbury, Turkey Street, Theobalds Grove, Cheshunt

Rolling stock:

As for rolling stock I am not entirely sure (and these are options), I am thinking of adding at least 4 new trains (not including "layer" of rolling stock):

BR Class 379 "Electrostar" - an electric multiple unit (EMU), operating on WAML on the London Liverpool Street - Cambridge and Stansted Airport routes (as part of the Stansted Express service) in Greater Anglia livery; (this would be a good extension of the "Electrostar" family with an additional and new train)

BR Class 720 "Aventra" - an electric multiple unit used on the same routes as the Class 379 also in Greater Anglia livery (a new train from the "Aventra" family)

BR Class 745 "Flirt" - a 12-car electric multiple unit operating on the Stansted Express service from London Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport (this would be a good introduction of a new train from the "Flirt" family)

BR Class 70 - a diesel locomotive designed mainly for freight trains (this would be a good change from adding the same Class 66 all the time) in Freightliner livery;

Optional rolling stock:

BR Class 321 - an electric multiple unit based on the Mark 3 cars operating on these routes

BR Class 322 - an improved version of the Class 321, designed to operate on the Stansted Express service

BR Class 315 - an electric multiple unit operating on the Lea Valley Lines (London Overground)

BR Class 170 "Turbostar" - a diesel multiple unit operating on this route (from the Fife Circle Line DLC by Riviet Games) in the Greater Anglia livery

BR Class 88 - a dual-power locomotive designed for freight trains

BR Class 90 - an electric locomotive designed for freight trains

"Layer" rolling stock:

BR Class 710 "Aventra" - an electric multiple unit operating on the Lea Valley Lines (London Overground) (the "layer" train from "Goblin Line")

BR Class 66 - freight train service with new Freightliner livery

BR Class 86 - electric freight locomotive (may be added if JT releases only this DLC for the Preston-Carlisle route) with "new" Freightliner livery

This is my suggestion for a new route for the TSW5.

 

Very good suggestion. The 710 for example can be one of the layers for the route. Would be nice to have an East Anglian route in the game.

 

Another opportunity to reskin a Class 170, for the Cross Country services between Cambridge and Stansted Airport too. Personally would like to see this in the mid-2000’s era with the 321/2’s and 31X’s, - WAGN and Great Eastern or ONE.
