    The first Add-on for Train Sim World 6 lands today! Take to the heart of Britain and the industrial Black Country in WCML: Birmingham - Crewe, by All Aboard Studios.

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

    Route and Trains Summary
    [​IMG]

    We outlined the extent of the route between Birmingham and Crewe in our previous article, supplemented by entries in the All Aboard Studios Blog.

    [​IMG]

    This high-speed section of the West Coast Main Line allows players to race through the heart of the Black Country and serve West Midlands commuters in a variety of trains from other Add-ons. The busy timetable is represented best at important locations on the route, such as Birmingham New Street, Wolverhampton and Crewe stations.

    [​IMG]

    Here, a large selection of layers can be toggled from a wider range of other Train Sim World Add-ons, including the CrossCountry Voyager, Avanti West Coast Pendolino and West Midlands Railway / CrossCountry Class 170.

    Included in the route are modern passenger services using the versatile & varied BR Class 350 EMU in multiple liveries. All Aboard Studios have made a number of improvements for this variant, including suspension and brake physics.

    Adding an extra layer of personality to the route is 350235, wearing its unique British Transport Police livery. You will see this eye catching unit throughout your drives, appearing across the timetable as it follows its real world diagram.

    Passenger and Platform Announcements feature frequently throughout each passenger service, including unique British Transport Police announcements, as well as Passenger Ambience.
    Temporary Speed Restrictions are also toggleable as part of Train Sim World 6's Random Events feature.
    A selection of Train Faults are planned for the Class 350 to be implemented for this route Add-on in a post-release patch.

    Train Sim World 6: West Coast Main Line: Birmingham - Crewe is out now for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam for £29.99/€35.99/$39.99
    Please note that WCML: Birmingham - Crewe will be released on PC and 9th Gen Console platforms only.

    Steam Weeklong Deal

    You can still save on three Add-ons that layer into WCML: Birmingham - Crewe, including a first time discount on the West Midland Railway / CrossCountry Class 170 DMU!
    Add high speed Pendolino services to the timetable with the Avanti West Coast Class 390 Add-on, or ECS movements with the Class 323 in Birmingham Cross-City.

    What's Next for All Aboard Studios?
    [​IMG]

    If you've been following our Train Sim World Roadmap, you'll know that All Aboard Studios are working on the Avanti West Coast Class 805 Add-on. We'll provide further details of this Add-on at a later time. Stay tuned!

    Yet to upgrade to TSW6?
    WCML: Birmingham - Crewe is an Add-on for Train Sim World 6. If you've not yet upgraded, you can still do so in a number of ways.

    Deluxe Edition: including CrossCountry Class 220 Voyager
    [​IMG]

    Upgrading via Train Sim World 6: Deluxe Edition will not only give you access to three brand new routes: Riviera Line, Morristown Line and Leipzig-Dresden, but also the CrossCountry Class 220 Voyager, which layers into playable services for WCML: Birmingham Crewe.

    Train Sim World 6: Special Edition also includes additional back catalogue routes, such as Cardiff City Network, which also layers into WCML: Birmingham - Crewe.

    [​IMG]

    Alternatively, you can upgrade via the Train Sim World: Free Starter Pack, which is available to download to your collection permanently until 11th November 2025.

    Whilst this won't grant you any new routes or trains, it will allow you to then purchase WCML: Birmingham - Crewe.

    If I go to Aston platform will
    I get kick out. Well actually I tried it didn’t get kick out of the simulation. Surprised dtg. Kinda wish they could do that to all the route instead of getting kick out of the boundaries. Make it a lot easier then to having to worry about that.

    over 14GB? what the bogies? :D ... but I bought this, as a reward for myself for being very brave today and installing an internal SSD all by myself (for some of you it might be Tuesday :D but for me it is a big deal cos of anxieties and other stuff in a pretty severe mix sometimes)

    Well done! I think many of us are a little nervous when we open a computer case. It's always easier the second time around. Give yourself a pat on the back.

    Blurry textures are joke it's getting ridiculous nothing is getting done about it console players are treated like second class and don't say turn off some layers that's not the solution Blurry textures have been a problem since TSW5 Mildmay line actually acknowledge the problem and do something about it DTG Jamie DTG Harry DTG Alex (PS5)

    l must say l am not surprised. I am sorry to say that l just wish DTG would get one edition working really well, before introducing the next version of the game. It seems to me TSW6 has many of the faults of TSW5.
