Hello All! Today, I will be proposing the Bittern Line, A 30 mile line running from the City of Norwich to the coastal town of Sheringham. Route will be set before 2019. The Line The runs for 30 miles from the busy and architecturally marvellous Norwich through the flat Norfolk countryside to popular seaside town Cromer, where the train reverses and heads to Sheringham, home of the Poppy Line (North Norfolk Railway). The line is single track from Sheringham to a little bit north of Hoveton and Wroxham, where it doubles for the remainder of the journey to Norwich. A passing loop is found at North Walsham. Stations Sheringham (change for the NNR) West Runton Cromer (Train reverses here) Roughton Road Gunton North Walsham Worstead Hoveton and Wroxham Salhouse Norwich Services The basic service pattern is an hourly service from Norwich to Sheringham. However, the calling patterns can vary, with some trains providing an all stops service and some skipping lesser used stations such as: Salhouse, Roughton Road and Gunton. Rolling Stock As the route is set before the introduction of the Class 755 'FLIRT' trains. There is a variety of passenger trains with the Class 153, 156 and 170 providing passenger services. Freight can also be seen, collecting gas condensate at a terminal at North Walsham and taking it down to Harwich International. If the North Norfolk Railway was to be included (I will create a separate proposal), then it could allow for a charter Steam Service to use the level crossing that runs from the National rail station in Sheringham to the NNR station found directly opposite. All passenger services are run by Greater Anglia. Pictures Norwich Sheringham (The platform was rebuilt when the 755s were introduced) Cromer Class 153 Class 156 Class 170
It really is you lucky day my freind, As Traction Studios is also building the Bittern Line for TS! The route will be set in 2019/20 With the units mentioned above, PLUS Class 755 EMUs from ATS. Construction is at an earlier stage, and is due out sometime next year. Here are some preview shots, Hope you like. TractionStudios
Like that progress for train simulator 21 however train simulator world 2 uses Unreal Engine. The operator Greater Anglia is part of the Dutch Railways NS due to the arrow logo being present. DTG doesn't have the license agreement with the Dutch Railways NS for the logo and Abellio.
