    Step into the future of Britain’s railways in Train Sim World with the Great British Railways Class 802 in its brand-new livery.

    Train Sim World 6: Great British Railways Class 802 is available now on Epic Games Store, Steam, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 for £4.99 / €5.99 / $5.99.



    A new livery takes to the rails
    A new iconic look is arriving soon in Train Sim World 6! Introducing the Great British Railways Class 802, showcasing a bold new livery that represents the next chapter of rail travel across the UK.
    In collaboration with the UK Government, Dovetail Games has supported the debut of this brand-new identity since its initial unveiling on the platform in 2025. This marks the first time players can experience the new GBR livery, even before it appears across real-world services nationwide.

    From city to coast
    Take charge of the Class 802 across two iconic UK routes in Train Sim World 6:
    • East Coast Main Line: Peterborough – Doncaster
    • Riviera Line: Exeter – Plymouth & Paignton
    Experience the contrast between high-speed mainline running and scenic coastal operations. From navigating Newark Flat Crossing to running alongside the Dawlish Sea Wall, each route offers a distinct driving experience.

    Across both routes, the Class 802 introduces new gameplay opportunities. Take on two dedicated scenarios per route, each offering unique challenges tailored to their environments.
    Take on a range of bespoke scenarios, including:
    • Flying the Flag
      Take the 802 to the depot for a repaint before collecting the newly painted train and taking it out for its first service.
    • Riviera Rendezvous
      Take control of a special service celebrating the history of the Riviera Line while visiting historic landmarks along the route.
    • Snow Stopper
      Weeave through track closures and delays during a cold snap in the West Country.
    • Can’t Park There, Sir!
      A car has caused a level crossing failure, delaying passenger services on the ECML.
    In addition, a special “All Stops” timetable service has been added in each direction on both routes:
    • ECML: 1Z78 and 1Z79
    • Riviera Line: 1Z44 and 1Z45
    You’ll also encounter the GBR Class 802 through select timetable substitutions, adding even more variety to your experience. Take it further in Free Roam and explore the network on your own terms with the new GBR livery.

    Key Features
    • GBR Class 802 in Great British Railways livery (5-car and 9-car formations)
    • Bi-mode gameplay: operate in both electric and diesel modes
    • New scenarios across ECML: Peterborough – Doncaster and the Riviera Line
    • Additional timetable services and substitutions
    Explore without limits in free roam
    Take the GBR Class 802 beyond its home routes and run it across the wider network in Free Roam. With over 20 modern-era routes available, its bi-mode capability lets you operate across both electrified main lines and unelectrified branches.
    Snake through the suburbs of Birmingham, meander along the Medway Valley, or crest the commuter curves of Cardiff and Cathcart. Stretch its legs on the West Coast Main Line, take it slow through scenic Somerset, or even tight-fit your way along the Isle of Wight.
    Or break the rules entirely, mixing eras and locations to take the 802 somewhere it was never meant to go.

    A glimpse into the future of UK rail
    Great British Railways represents a major shift in how the UK railway operates. Set to be publicly owned from 2027, GBR aims to bring passengers and customers back to the heart of the network.
    First revealed in Train Sim World in 2025, this livery offers players an early look at what is to come. Now you can experience it for yourself.

    Shame Hull Trains livery couldn't have been produced as they won't be recieving this livery. Also sadly no TransPennine Express services are available for use of this train. Unless a modern upgrade is done on the line.

    Transpennine Express don't operate on this part of the ECML, outside of 185s at Doncaster (from Sheffield and then towards Scunthorpe and vice-versa, so not an ECML service)
