    Just Trains return! Their next route Add-on, West Coast Main Line: Preston - Carlisle is out now, featuring the new Class 87 electric locomotive and the longest UK route in Train Sim World!

    The star of the show is the arrival of a brand-new locomotive to the Train Sim World fleet with the classic Class 87/0. This regular runner of the West Coast Main Line comes in two liveries and with a distinct style of operation that might be more familiar to players of German electric locomotives than British diesel ones!



    Highlights include:
    • Authentic Neutral section operation, unique for a UK loco in Train Sim World.
    • Fully accessible loco ‘corridor’ (machine room) including operating controls. You can walk fully between the cab ends.
    • Fully authentic sound set, supplied by Armstrong Powerhouse.
    • A unique and large number of locomotive name plates included.
    • Includes two liveries.
    • Locomotive operating tutorials.
    • Ability to start from a totally dead state.
    • Realistic Simugraph train dynamics based on real world data

    Also included are a fleet of British diesels running passenger, freight and shunting services across the various locations on route.

    There is an extensive 24 hour working timetable encompassing everything from express, local, mail, freight, shunting and branch line services utilising the stock included and those beyond for players with the relevant Add-ons.

    Just Trains have also published a Manual for the route and listed out answers to FAQs, both of which can be found on their website. Preston-Carlisle_14.jpg

    Train Sim World 5: West Coast Main Line: Preston - Carlisle route Add-on is out now for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam for £32.99/€39.99/$44.99

    Hello - We release our routes on console platforms first, and then PC (Epic Games and Steam) later on in the day. WCML: Preston Carlisle is currently available for PlayStation and Xbox users, and will be on Steam at 18:00 UTC (in roughly 6-7 hours).

    What a fantastic route. As usual the level of detail from Just Trains is amazing. My only criticism so far is the 142 hasn't been updated to allow the announcements to work with the Preston to Carlisle services so when running 2P43 it tells you the next stop is Salwick instead of Lancaster or Carnforth.

    The rest though is just brilliant. Well done JT

    I've seen so many posts and emails today I can't remember exactly where I saw it but I think it was Just Trains Facebook page. It said you can enter the code and it will download as soon as it's live on Steam.

    Idk what I'm doing wrong but when I want to play guard mode it doesn't want to work as it just keeps saying guard left the train when I haven't. For the class 87. But it works fine on the class 101

    I am loving it so far, the 87 is a different beast to drive and I'm enjoying learning how to drive it. It's a total triumph. d180c553-1bab-45f8-9924-4ea31266bc31.jpeg

    I would like to register a complaint!

    There seems to be an awful mess at the Carlisle station! Have found some leaking urinals too. That is unacceptable!

    upload_2024-11-27_0-24-44.png

    But seriously, great route!

    Apologies if this is a stupid question but do the limitations relating to 8th Gen consoles also apply to users running the sim on the XBOX PC version?

    You get the actually playable version, hardly "punishment".

    Did they fix the full UI to get rid of the barber pole on passenger loads yet?
    If so I might have to buy this asap. Still not installed TSW5 beyond the training centre because of that.

    The game can detect between a next gen console and a last gen console so it should be able to tell you are playing from a pc

    Just completed the Class 87 introduction, and thankfully it’s served its purpose and I reckon I could take it for a spin on the main line. It sounds awesome - the rheostatic breaking, the cooling fans, the hum.. awesome. Nice too see some alternative liveries already appearing on the sharing hub too!

    The fact that you can spend a penny at some of the stations is kinda wild :o:D
    JT once again goes way way above to deliver something special.

    You really are taking the pee ;)



    The attention to detail is staggering, it is a brilliant route, its just as good as Blackpool Branches, if not better, a bit of stuttering now and again and a few odd things I have found, but this is some route, the graphics are brilliant, JT you have upped the bar even more. You have done an incredible job.

    If you are installing the game directly on your PC from the Microsoft Store, you get the PC version of the game with no limitations.
    If you are running it on PC via XBox Game Pass cloud streaming, it will be running on Series S hardware, so you will get the limitations of the Gen9 Series S build.

    Sigh

    Is there any update on getting the circle back in the winter patch maybe?
    I don't recall if Matt or anyone responded to the previous posts about it.

    I am not aware of any response. For all I know, DTG might still think the circle is in the game.

    Of course they haven't. They only response if they think it'll make them look good.

    Played it to day on Playstation. Looks good but found some annoying things when running a timetable Morecambe service. Bare Lane level crossing gates open just after I locked the doors for departure, signal remain at green though and car drive thru your unit. Also tried spawn a test train from Morecambe to Heysham and can't get on to the Heysham Line. Get Denied Check switch when trying to pass signal at danger , but route has been set.

    I think Matt said something about it.

    Although I don't know whether that's just me imagining it or not.

    Safe to say the Barber pole isn't going away anytime soon

    Whats the point of having liverys from the creators club when you can't use it in the consist editor. It doesn't show any of the liverys from the CC for the Class 87 in the consist editor. And its even forbidden to name it Class 87!!! Am i missing the joke or whats going on?

    "Class" anything can't be used, because the Naughty Words algorithm detects the alternate word for "donkey" in it.

    On PS5 the BR 101 uses one button for two different things. Arrow up changes the gear up and buzz the guard. So everytime you change a gear up you also buzz the guard. Thats just stupid
