District Line for BVE4

Latest News & Updates

The production of the District Line between Gloucester Road and Whitechapel has now been cancelled. Instead, the route runs as far as St. James' Park.

This is because of lack of resources and time to finish the route. However, Gloucester Road and St. James' Park was fully completed, so will therefore be released. This short section of the line is fully BVE4 compatible and contains realistic photorealistic textures, curved platforms, photographic track textures and traction motor cut-out. A timetable is also included.

The route will use the C69/77, as the D78 stock is not completed. Richard Chusney has taken on the D78 stock and will hopefully complete it.

The route was originally written by Paul Jobber, and has been updated to BVE4 standards by Richard Helliwell.

Route Overview

The route is a non-fictional line on the London Underground, and is operated by the D78 stock, made by Metro-Cammell. The District Line was opening in 1868 as part of the Metropolitan District railway, with part of the current Piccadilly line being included in the District. Nowerdays, the section we are building in BVE4 is part of the Circle Line too. From Gloucester Road to Tower Hill the Circle Line runs on the same tracks as our District Line, the splits and continues into Aldgate, and round up to Liverpool Street. Meanwhile out District Line tracks continue Eastbound to Whitechapel, and them on to Upminster.

The BVE4 version runs between Gloucester Road and St James' Park.
The route features various BVE4 systems, including working railgaps and LU signaling.

Progress

The route has been released. There will be no further development of the line, unless someone steps in to take over and continue my work. If you feel you can do a good job of this, please contact me.
