    ROUTE VARIATION
    Express - fast trains to Woking
    Commuter - all stopping services in London
    Semi Fast - Alton + Basingtoke services
    Proper countryside line:
    Farnham - Alton - especially Bentley
    Aldershot - Guildford - especially Wanborough

    I think this route would incorporate a huge amount of Gameplay diversity within a relatively small space with Express, Semi Fast, Stopper, Rural stopping services, Commuter and freight all in one.

    Waterloo to Alton is 48 miles and then the little extension from Woking to Guildford and then the connecting line brings the total to about 60 miles, it would be set in say 2021 with a mix of SWT blue and SWR grey. A full run from Waterloo - Alton takes about 1hr 10mins
