    Get to grips with a modern version of the imfamous Pacer in Just Trains' TfW Class 142 Add-on, out now!
    There is also 40% off Cardiff City Network on selected platforms until 1st December 2025. Details can be found at the bottom of this article.

    Approximate release times: 1000 UTC PlayStation & Xbox, 1600 UTC Epic Games, 1800 UTC Steam

    The Setting: Cardiff circa 2019

    In this Add-on, revisit Cardiff City Network in the iconic Class 142 Pacer! Across an all-new 2019 timetable, embark on hundreds of services that shuttle around the city limits in classic bouncy fashion.

    The Trains
    TfW Class 142 'Pacer'
    [​IMG]

    The focus of this Add-on is the Class 142 'Pacer', first introduced to Train Sim World in Just Trains' first route Add-on: Blackpool Branches.

    [​IMG]

    Initially, Pacers in Wales were run by Arriva Trains Wales. These were taken over by Transport for Wales in October 2018. In this Add-on the Class 142 will be adorned in a transition livery, when the Arriva names and logos were removed and the TfW branding was placed over the basic underlying Arriva livery.

    [​IMG]

    As with the Blackpool Branches Class 142, passenger announcements are implemented featuring an authentic native Welshman! These function the same way as the Blackpool Branches Pacer, being activated by a manual button in the cab.

    Class 150 and Class 153 DMUs
    [​IMG]

    In addition to the Class 142, both the Class 150 and Class 153 DMUs receive the same style of ex-Arriva livery. These are only playable within the timetable specific to this Add-on and requires Cardiff City Network to unlock, as neither the Class 150 or 153 are included in the TfW Class 142 Add-on.

    Timetable & Gameplay

    The new timetable included in this Add-on features service patterns from the period for the Class 142, 150 and 153 DMUs across the multiple branch lines stemming from Cardiff Central and Queen Street Stations.

    A selection of new Scenarios are also included, with one featuring the headboard shown in the first screenshot of this article.

    In addition, AI layers from other Train Sim World Add-ons are featured:
    • GWR Class 802 and Class 150 services from Riviera Line
    • A once-per-day CrossCountry Class 220 Voyager service
    • GWR HST and Class 166 services from Great Western Express
    • CrossCountry Class 170 services from Rivet Games' Class 170 Add-on
    • Class 66 freight services from West Coast Main Line: London-Milton Keynes and Cargo Line Volumes 1 & 3
    • Railhead Treatment Train
    8th Generation Console Gameplay
    After further reviewing performance on previous-generation consoles, Just Trains have amended this timetable to provide a suitable experience for these players (Xbox One and PlayStation 4).
    There will be no additional services (playable or AI) from layered content from other Add-ons.
    Train Sim World 6: Transport for Wales BR Class 142 DMU is out now for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam for £12.99/€15.99/$16.99

    [​IMG]

    Gameplay for the TfW Class 142 requires Cardiff City Network, the first route in Wales to ever feature in Train Sim World!
    This urban network style route Add-on runs along separate branches with the much more contemporary TfW branded Class 150 DMU, along with the 1-car Class 153 ‘Sprinter’.
    You can currently save:
    ... until 1st December 2025 as part of the Black Friday Sales.

    This tells you everything you need to know. Managing to secure an equal sale on every platform apart from Xbox demonstrates yet again how unimportant we are, this point gets said a lot but it’s still relevant. Surely dtg should be able to do better than just putting the base game on sale at this point?

    Have you tried searching "Transport for", that should bring it up.

    Also, you can tweak the URL. For example, changing the en-GB to en-US takes you to the American page, so change it to your required region.

    Absolutely fantastic and despite what some people have said to me the engine sounds nothing like the existing pacer as it sounds different from out side and oh boy off to 7 at around 20 mph revs galore and was most definitely worth waiting for flappy doors and all as Geoff Marshall would say congratulations just trains and co you smashed it again

    That was the first sale in months. If the last sale of that level happened every few months then I’d be happy with that, but the fact that Xbox sales are so infrequent and usually so sparse of new dlc that many people don’t own is very frustrating
