I presently live in between Bridgend and Port Talbot, South Wales. The section of mainline track between Cardiff and Swansea has not yet been modeled, although forum member Chris, (aka tonyhap) is extending his great 'BrisCard' line in the near future.
My roots are back in S London and the last 10 years I spent there was around the Wimbledon area which has been covered well by the Doset Coast route.
One line I was hopeing to see in MSTS1 but doesn't exist is the line where I grew up next to in South London. This runs from Victoria down to Orpinton and beyond via Brixton, Herne Hill, West Dulwich, Sydenham Hill (my local station), Penge East, Beckenham Jnc, Bromley South and Petts Wood. Unfortunately, it lies in a 'no mans land' between LSE and LSC and so no doubt will never be modeled unless one of them get's extended.

I have three local stations, all of which are not availible on MSTS; Enfield Lock, Waltham Cross and Turkey Street.
The nearest route that I can get on MSTS is GreatEastern, which covers Liverpool Street, Bethnal Green, and Stratford. It is the best add-on I have IMHO.
A mate of mine who lives nearby is currently trying to create the Lea Valley route with KRS, but I would much prefer a MSTS version...

In answer to the question, yes it is - In Adelaide, Hills & SE.
It is in my route as well, however it needs some small changes before I will declare it fit for use by the average user. The track, grades, and curvature are pretty much spot on, but it is missing a few things scenery wise. The route happens to extend where the other route mentioned terminates, but that is purely coincidence and is reasonably consistent with my original plan 3 years ago to model the Adelaide - Burra line

I'm hoping WCE will go as far north as Carlisle at least, and then hopefully include the branch off from Oxenholme to Windermere.

I was hoping for a more detailed version, EB's WCE standards are quite good

my route isnt covered by msts. i live in hull and the closest covered is leeds (east coast express + leeds loop) or scarborough (on the yorkshire coast cd). however there are trains in various downloads and cds that say hull on them. eg. the EB Class 170301 [First TransPennine Express] file id 16480, says hull via leeds on the front display. also; there are many trains available to download which are hull trains (company). in ece2 you can drive the 'hull executive' if you have both ece's installed, ece2 activity 10, which is GNER's service, but it only goes as far as doncaster. please check out my forum about hull and why it should be on msts ...

Hello Everyone,
My local route (Dorset Coast) most definately is available in MSTS and I'm fortuante enough to traverse the Bournemouth to London Waterloo part for a living. I work as an on train steward based in Bournemouth, it is a most enjoyable job.
