At 108 miles from point-to-point, WCML Trent Valley serves as the longest UK route to appear in a Train Sim World game. Take to it like a bat of out hell with the BR Class 807, or enjoy a more chill experience in the Class 350/4 as you serve local stations between Milton Keynes and Crewe.

Additional Information:
Both the Dovetail team and the All Aboard Team are working through some existing known issues that we wanted to outline below, to help reduce the chance you encounter these issues. These will be present with the release version, and we will be working to address these in future patches for the add-on.

Both the Full and Reduced Timetables are available on all platforms. While we recommend adjusting your game settings and layer options to achieve the best possible performance, these two timetable options provide an additional way to tailor the experience to your system.

The Full Timetable represents a complete operational day across the entire route. It includes services on the main line, branch lines and flyovers, creating a busy and authentic railway environment. Players will encounter extensive main line traffic, AI services at major railway hubs such as Rugby, Nuneaton, Tamworth, Stafford and Crewe, as well as freight services, empty coaching stock movements and a variety of special workings.

The Reduced Timetable has been carefully optimised from the Full Timetable to improve performance while retaining the vast majority of player drivable services. The number of drivable services is reduced from 470 to around 400, with the majority of removed services being freight workings, special movements and empty stock transfers around Crewe.

The biggest difference comes from the reduction of AI only services. Most of the optimisation work has focused on reducing non drivable traffic at major junctions, interchanges and crossover locations. This does not mean Trent Valley feels empty. The majority of main line traffic remains in place, with only a small number of services removed, including the non stop Avanti West Coast Glasgow services and some Birmingham services between Milton Keynes and Crewe.

Another important change is the use of a single Class 350 variant throughout the timetable. The Reduced Timetable exclusively uses the Class 350/4, which significantly improves performance by reducing the number of different train textures and assets that need to be loaded into the game.

Whichever timetable you choose, you will still experience a busy and engaging railway with a wide range of passenger services across the route.
We hope you have a great experience with the route, if you need any player support, you can request this from our teams on our support website.
