    I know it was outwith the OP (possibly) but for a purely “London” route, you can’t really ignore the Tube.

    Now various suggestions and time periods have popped up over the years but something like the Northern or Central Line in its entirety (and preferably pre ATO and modern stock) would give a quintessential “ London” experience. Even just the H&C and Circle Line similar to World of Subways could hit the spot.

    I’d love to see the Metropolitan line come to TSW at some point. I can imagine if Johannes at Incredible Trains teamed up with Just Trains to make it happen, that would be amazing.

    Another notable mention is for Hammersmith & City line as it would nicely connect with Suffragette, Bakerloo and GWE remaster.

    Metropolitan and Elizabeth line would be great.

    I'd prefer not to have the Elizabeth Line as it's a clockface, all stations timetable. Yes there are two branches at the eastern end (there's also two on the Western end but we will never have Heathrow in the game) but there's no variation in the stopping pattern and the pretty much the same services during each hour of the day, tailing off a little in the evenings. Plus it's ATO in the core and the tunnels are single bore, both pretty boring driving conditions.

    Far better to have a fuller Great Eastern line and a remastered GWR (which is coming of course). A route hop from Liverpool Street to Paddington would more than make up for the 20 minutes of sitting looking at tunnels and pressing the door open/close button.
