So, I think it's time for a South Western route. In an ideal world, we run a route from Wimbledon to Guildford or the option to Alton, so we can spawn and despawn AI along the way from Waterloo, without having to run into Waterloo and consume memory in an instant. But we could also then add a SWT/SWR layer onto the existing Clapham Junction which is badly needed. Route The route starts at Wimbledon, utilising AI Class 484 LU liveried stock on platforms 1-4, and SWT services on 5-8, Thameslink 700s on 9 and 10 (in place of the Croydon Tramlink, or we have P10 permanently empty). We cover all the stations including the wonderful Raynes Park, Surbiton and Woking stations, these are wonderful pieces of art deco, Surbiton especially with its unique track layout makes for an incredbily interesting and varied timetable scene. After Woking, we have the option to take a service to Brookwood and down to Alton. At Alton the Heritage 33 and Mk1s shuttle back and forth on the Watercress Line. On the Guildford route, we link up with FGW Class 165s as AI adding more variety. Era Ideally we set this in the 1990s, and we work on Class 455/442/159 (reskin of 158), VEP/CEP/CIG/BEP. But in reality, we have plenty of stock already that could be reskinned. So we go for 2006-2017. We need a Class 450, a new Class 455 built from scratch, for the purposes of time we stick to the Class 455/8 and Class 455/9 variants only, a reskin of the Class 158 into SWT, and a new build Class 442 Wessex Electric. To save on costs and to add a new layer to London to Brighton in Scenario Planner, the 442 is in a Gatwick Express refurbished state, but in SWT livery, and folk can then play around in livery designer to bring about all host of other liveries. The route wouldn't be too intensive, a reduced timetable of 1 train per hour to most destinations would bring it into line with the BML London Commuter route in terms of traffic density. It would be a highly popular 3rd rail route, with two new build units, the 442 and 455, being extremely popular. To allow for extra revenue, the base route would come solely with a reskin 450 and 158, and the 455 family and 442 would be seprarate add ons priced accordingly. At a later date, an extension to Portsmouth would be fantastic as a standalone second route from Guildford, that could be joined via route hoppers at Guildford.
