The Most Iconic Uk Station Currently Missing From Train Sim World

Beauly

 

One does not simply walk into Morden.

 

This station is small besides the world longest name of a small village. Lianfair P.G. (Abbrev.) has nothing to offer furthermore but a (souvenir) shop next to the station.

Although an old local lady dressed accordingly entered the coach I drove (work), took the microphone and pronounced the full name in the Welsh language of that village for the group I brought to that famous spot. No one in the coach could repeat her and that was real fun to experience. I love the Victorian station and stairway across the railroad track connecting the platforms.

 

York. Definitely York!

Huge station with a grand curved roof, adjacent to the Railway Museum, the ROC and depots/sidings.. and as others have said, on a junction.

A historic Newcastle would top that though!

 

Of course, if one posesses the funds available, one can utilize luxury chauffeur service known as the 93 bus!

 

When I was working there at the turn of the centuary, the British Steel works had 70 miles of track and a heritage line! I doubt DTG would want to add that in, but as you suggest, it could be an off map generator of traffic.

 

I want to see Shrewsbury in the game, it’s a major station in the West Midlands and home to the largest mechanical signal box in the world. Not to mention, it’s still has semaphores in use!

I’d love to see the station done in both steam and modern eras, but the former is probably unlikely… despite the perfect route suggestion for steam era Shrewsbury being my signature

Welsh Marches: Shrewsbury - Newport would be my nomination for a more recent iteration with TfW 175s, 158s and 150s. We won’t mention those tacky 197s, eh?

 

It is there, here it is with a Class 08!

 

London Waterloo would also be a good one

 

What route????

 

if they did that the great rail centre of Barnetby could be included, would have to be set before the early 90s to ensure the station buildings were there.

Agree with Kings Cross, York, Newcastle and Bristol Temple Meads but Birmingham Moor Street in first gen days would be very nice too!

 

SEHS, free roam on foot and walk along track towards the ECML, you’ll be able to get between the fence north of Gasworks tunnel on the right hand side and drop down to track. Spawn a locomotive (in my case Class 08) but spawn it behind you otherwise you won’t be able to get in to the cab (walking south). Drive through Gasworks tunnel and in to Kings Cross Station and though the wall at the end. The tracks lead you outside to the front of Kings Cross.

 

10 years ago or so Trainz had that route and it was pretty much all I played. It had the branch to Barton upon Humber too. I’d love to see it in TSW one day.

 

Forgive the ignorance, but Waterloo isn't on the Baterloo line?
I do believe Charing Cross is on there too.
And Paddington.

Now I get that the Underground is..well.. underground.
But at least they ARE in the game =-)

I haven't really mucked about to see if you can walk up to the upper levels though.
I doubt it since why model levels that don't have any active trains on them?
Another argument for more London Underground/Overground routes.

 

I always liked the Shrewsbury station, that old castle looking thing. Not sure if it's "iconic." I think for "iconic" many peoples' first experience with a "British" railways station was in the Harry Potter movies. I think that was King's Cross wasn't it? Before the rennovations?

 

You can't unfortunately, I don't think you can actually go further than the deep level platforms on the Bakerloo Line.

I would be pretty cool if there was a hidden route in TSW. That would be one heck of an "easter egg". It took 5 years for anyone to find out that Charing Cross to Hastings (circa 1987) has been secretly available in TSW, but only if you can find an escalator in the tube station.

 

Underground stations built by different companies to serve the mainline stations. I suppose you'll next be saying there's no need to suggest the SEML as Dover is in the game.

You can't.

Excuse me?

 

I was joking. Unless you're asking me to keep it quiet as you've also found it.

 

Awh I was getting excited
