    With 3 Overground lines and full rolling stock roster soon to be represented in game in some shape or form, I'm interested to see which of the two remaining lines any invested people would like to see next represented in the game and why (obviously if the answer is neither - that's grand, but this is more relevant to those who do want one or the other).

    Do you have fond memories attached to a particular section? Are there interesting landmarks or particular stations? Is the timetable or track layout compelling? You get the idea. I've no idea if it'll happen, but it would be interesting to get the forecast in any case!

    Also I'm excluding the Liberty Line (Romford - Upminster) from the vote, as let's face it - the other two wouldn't stand a chance if I had ;)

    None. Lets see somewhere else in the country with more interest, both traction wise and scenically.

    Personally i'm not that invested in the Overground but I guess the Weaver Line in full could be interesting

    Any particular reason? That wasn't my chunk of London when I lived there, so I'm less familiar with it compared to the Windrush.

    I love how quickly this little network has come together, but any more than 3 would be too much when there’s so much more they could cover elsewhere.

    I think the Windrush line would be amazing. There are combinations of underground running and 4 track running, and a variety of destinations. There would also be lots of AI class 465s, 375s, 377s, 387s, and 700s. That is of course is DTG find out how to make a busy route without potato-esque frame rates, blurry textures, and an incomplete timetable.

    Broad Street - Poplar? (Now that would be an interesting route.....especially if set in about the 1900's). :)

    We could ask for Romford to Upminster and, fingers crossed, we might get half of it if we are lucky ;)

    If Broad Street-Poplar came out that would be a minute one purchase for me lol.

    Broad St with fourth rail would definitely be a purchase. Even if it only went to Dalston jct.

    Why not actually finish the mildmay line for a start and also deal with the passenger spawning issue on goblin before we start doing more photocopying of single handled electrostars?

    Drifting a little OT here - I appreciate the grievances, and I think we all share them to varying extents, but that's not really what I was asking in the original poll, and I certainly don't want to ignite another discussion about old traction vs modern.
