Looking good, you could this into a semi-real Southampton-Waterloo, or even go all the way downto Weymouth. Now that would be great.

Waterloo is a big station. As I don't live in the south and I don't know, is Waterloo a teminal?

Waterloo is Bloody huge! It has 24 platforms (That includes the Eurostar Platforms) Most services then go through Clapham Junction, and only then do the lines tend to go their own way. In between Waterloo and Clapham, it is 7/8 track running. After that, Services split up and go into the South West of England. Service is provided by SouthWest Trains and Wales and West (I believe) but Steve33108 is better to comment on that.

All in all, it's massive

24 platforms? wow, anyone able to get pictures/find any on the internet. I never have any luck finding photos of stations on the internet.

ok, update on route...

I've renamed the route: 'Multi-Electrification Route'.
The reason for this is it contains both 3rd rail and overhead electrification. Just a pity I can't get the overhead wires to show

Why not?

My suggestion (and what i'm doing for Thameslink) is to make some custom gantries and just add wire to it, otherwise its 3rd rail 750v DC all the way!

Well the wires dont hang in exact curves, i'm sure I could come up with something, but its not on the top of my list im afraid, my todo list now has 13+ items!

The wires on top don't curve. If you play BVE, you will know this. The wires only sag a bit to allow contraction and expansion on cold and hot days.
