South London and Thameslink (Work In Progress!)

South London and Thameslink (Work In Progress Version! )

Description

Basically this is the South London to Brighton route merged onto the London to Bedford route and includes Bedford to Brighton Via Herne Hill and London Bridge, also includes Blackfrairs to Swanley / Orpington via Herne Hill. however it is still a work in progress route so there are still things to do. Update – Really sorry that it is taking a long time to finish this route, I was really hoping to get it finished sooner but things have gotten in the way (personal life + work).

Notes – Also if you decide to rate down this route, you are perfectly entitled too of course, but I do ask though if you could say why you don’t like it, as I welcome any constructive critism. (PS – I don’t bite, if you say you don’t like the route 🙂 )
