A new lease of life comes to Birmingham with two new variants of the Class 170, available now from Rivet Games! The DMU: Class 170 Originally part of Rivet Games’ Fife Circle Line as the ScotRail Class 170/4, the iconic turbo now stars in a new role, filling out and enhancing the Cross-City Line. Including both the 170/5 and 170/6 subclasses, with detail changes such as original headlights, updated cabs and interiors, the Class 170 is now presented in West Midlands Railway livery, as well as the far-reaching CrossCountry livery! This marks the arrival of the CrossCountry license in Train Sim World, along with the second train to feature the orange West Midlands Railways branding, after the Class 323. Previously CrossCountry featured in Train Simulator Classic content. The passenger interiors and the cabs differ per Train Operating Company (TOC). CrossCountry for example features First Class accommodation, but the West Midlands Railway 170 does not, also note the remnants of London Midland with the unmistakable green moquette. New Timetable & Gameplay Plus additional traffic at Birmingham New Street A new timetable will be available to players of the Birmingham Cross-City route, featuring a much wider variety of traffic from a selection of other Add-ons, for players that own them. There’ll also be new Scenarios to play. The West Midlands Railway Class 170 will have over 150 services, of which 58 are playable. The CrossCountry Class 170 will have over 180, of which 31 will be playable. Additional service layers from other Train Sim World Add-ons include: Class 350 from West Coast Main Line South (playable) Avanti West Coast Pendolino (1 ECS move, otherwise AI) Cardiff City Network (AI) As well as the previously available layers from the original timetable: Railhead Treatment Train Centro Regional Railways Class 323 Rare power car movement using Great Western Express and Northern Trans-Pennine Class 37 rail tour using Tees Valley Line and Northern Trans-Pennine You can read all the details of the timetable in our previous article courtesy Tyler, a Game Designer at Rivet Games.

Before you buy be aware cross country destinations still havent been fixed for ps5 Update- since the quoted text I have found it isn't just cross country train but also all trains that terminate of the map including AI trains that display as not in service instead of their actual destinatuon
Some WMR 170’s have the PIS bug too. Can’t believe a simple bug like this has made it to the final release build. DTG / Developers don’t seem to be bug checking enough. Every add on released seems to be buggy.
That's not a problem with the 170 pack. The list of destinations is part of the route. As soon as today's update is released on consoles, it will work.
PIS screens are showing not in service on both XC & WMR I believe a patch has gone out for the pc version of the pack as shown in previews done by ambassadors but the patch hasn't been pushed to consoles yet
If you are after one of the longer car services there's 1V20 formed of 5 cars Edit it's the wrong service it's 1M41 is the 5 car 1V20 is formed of 2 car
Do not, for now, recommend this dlc for Rail Driver users, only 1 of the 4 trains sets, the WM 170/6, works with it
I drove the Birmingham New Street to Great Malvern at 0700 from New Street, when I got to Bromsgrove I changed sides and in came a 5 car
Thanks for the heads up, that’s annoying. Hard to understand why they would add support for one and not the others…there’s been a few releases with that issue.
dr1980 its also a buggy addon in general. Sound glitches and other minor but very frustrating issues.
