LU Central Line

Anyone know of a Central Line route for BVE??
I know there are a couple of demos around but is anyone doing the full line??

There was long ago a demo which ran from White City to Marble Arch (or something like that, it was before my BVE time) but nobody is developing the entire route.

If I was clever enough to develop routes the Central would be without doubt the Line I would make. However, ATO would not be necessary. It really needs to be manual.

The Central Line is an extremely complex route. I believe the Epping - West Ruislip route is the longest single journey on the LUL network (even eclipsing Upminster - Richmond) so it would take so much time to get it up and running that it's no wonder nobody has taken the plunge.

Sometimes I wonder if the geniuses behind the Piccadilly and Northern Lines could ever join forces and do the Central Line...

I am sure that everybody would agree that the LUL BVE community needs a Central Line and a "main" District Line route (preferrably to Richmond, actually) to complete the set.

Yes, I'd love to see a District Line.
Something that might be an idea is to model the Central Line pre-1995 (ie, when 1962 stock trains were still hard at work on the line).

Stooopid_Person is currently working on the Central, White City > Liv St and return IIRC. No idea about the district mainline.
