Epping-Ongar Railway

General discussions

Moderator: senjer

Do you want to be able to run tube trains on the line to Ongar again?

Yes, from Epping to Ongar, so occiasional tube trains, or 'full-tube-service' are possibilities.

Yes, but only halfway; no further then North Weald.

No, I'd rather have it un-electrified as is exists in reality.

Maybe an extension to Leytonstone from both sides so we can either run to Woodford Via Hainault or via Snaresbrook?

every 20 min service due to stock upgrades currently only shuttling between woodford and hainault instead of a through train all the way round the loop from woodford via hainault then to central london.

So the line's extended to Woodford then, that'll give like a good 10 miles to drive.
At least we're going to have a London Underground route set in real life :D

The way this goes seems like the map will end at West Ruislip, in the end :lol:

Most anoying thing about this route..... It takes forever until the line finally drops underground. Once it does.... No more scenery building, which takes up the most amount of time. :D
So it might take a few updates before I reach that point.

Gants Hill, Redbridge and Wanstead are all underground
Then Leyton to Stratford has a tunnel but both stations are overground
Underground really starts from Mile End and goes all the way to Shepherd's Bush (Finally comes out at white city but arrive on the wrong side due to a crossover in the tunnels) and stays overground for the rest of the way (to Ealing broadway or West Ruislip).

if u wanted to do a full tube line then surely the victoria would be easiest as its all underground (except the depot).

the 2009 stock is already in the game.not bad to be put on the long term projects list??

EDIT : the W&C would be better actually

It was the Epping-Ongar line I wanted to do. I already did a full tube line (the red line in City of Thames) 😉.

And after Epping-Ongar.... Extending it with Central line track was just the most logical thing to do.
