Drive along the coast for 37 miles between the seaside resort of Scarborough and the city of Hull in Train Sim World 3: Yorkshire Coast Line: Hull-Scarborough Hello, I would like to suggest the Yorkshire Coast Line for TSW3 because the route is in an area not covered in TSW yet and the coastal views offered along the route Stock included with route as standard: The British Rail Class 170 'Turbostar' And the British Rail Class 158 'Express Sprinter' Training (In Training Center): Class 170 Introduction Class 158 Introduction Scenarios: Beverley Local: (Difficulty - 1) Drive a Class 158 between Hull and Beverley, calling at Cottingham along the way on a nice cloudy day Scarborough Special: (Difficulty - 3) Drive a special service to Scarborough from Hull in a 170/158 combo going express to Bridlington then Scarborough but a stopping train has been let out in front of you, so you are following it Hull Stopper: (Difficulty - 2) Drive a Class 170 from Scarborough to Hull on a stopping service, which is unusual for a Turbostar Bridlington Return: (Difficulty - 2) Drive a Class 158 on a return service to Bridlington, change ends, then head back for Hull on a wet and windy day Timetable: 2018-2019 Working Timetable Potential DLC, Layers and Stations coming up on Pages 2 & 3
Page 2: Potential DLC: Class 155 'Super Sprinter' These would operate the Hull-Bridlington stopping services Class 180 'Adelante' Would be drivable between Hull and Beverley on peak-time services AI Only Layers: Class 185 'Desiro' Would be seen around Hull (for services to Manchester Piccadilly) and Scarborough (for services to Manchester Piccadilly/Victoria) (that's if a 185 is made prior to this route coming out) Player drivable Layers: RHTT: Would be a seasonal layer for the Autumn, drivable on whole route Railtour layer: Top n'tail Class 66s with Mk2s from NTP on the 'Beverley at Christmas' Railtour, (only playable in December) Stations: Hull Paragon: Hull Paragon Interchange is a transport hub providing rail, bus and coach services located in the city centre of Kingston upon Hull, England. The G.T. Andrews-designed station was originally named Paragon Station, and together with the adjoining Station Hotel, it opened in 1847 as the new Hull terminus for the growing traffic of the York & North Midland Railway (Y&NMR) leased to the Hull & Selby Railway (H&S). As well as trains to the west, the station was the terminus of the Y&NMR and H&S railway's Hull to Scarborough Line. From the 1860s the station also became the terminus of the Hull & Holderness and Hull and Hornsea railways. At the beginning of the 20th century the Northeastern Railway (NER) expanded the trainshed and station to the designs of William Bell, installing the present five arched span platform roof. In 1962 a modernist office block Paragon House was installed above the station main entrance, replacing a 1900s iron canopy; the offices were initially used as regional headquarters for British Rail. A bus station was erected adjacent to the north of the station in the mid 1930s. In the early 2000s plans for an integrated bus and rail station were made, as part of a larger development including a shopping centre; St Stephen's shopping centre, a hotel, housing, and music and theatre facilities. The new station, named "Paragon Interchange" opened in September 2007, integrating the city's railway and bus stations under William Bell's 1900s trainshed. The station is currently operated by TransPennine Express, which provides train services along with Northern, Hull Trains and LNER. Cottingham: Cottingham railway station serves the village of Cottingham in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Located on the Yorkshire Coast Line, it is managed by Northern. The station serves the northern suburbs of Hull and generates much commuter traffic. Beverley: Beverley railway station serves the town of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Hull to Scarborough Line and is operated by Northern who provide most passenger services from the station. Arram: Arram railway station serves the small village of Arram in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Yorkshire Coast Line and is operated by Northern who provide all passenger train services. It is mentioned in the song "Slow Train" by Flanders & Swann. Hutton Cranswick: Hutton Cranswick railway station serves the village of Hutton Cranswick in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Yorkshire Coast Line, 16+1⁄4 miles (26 km) north of Hull and is operated by Northern who provide all passenger train services. The station has retained its main buildings, though they are now in residential use. As it is unmanned and there are no ticketing facilities here, passengers must buy tickets prior to travel or on the train. There are shelters and timetable posters on each platform and step-free access is available to both (the southbound one via the automatic level crossing at the Hull end). Driffield: Driffield railway station serves the town of Driffield in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Yorkshire Coast Line and is operated by Northern, providing all passenger train services. Nafferton-Scarborough on Page 3
Page 3: Nafferton: Nafferton railway station serves the village of Nafferton in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Yorkshire Coast Line and is operated by Northern that provides all passenger train services. In 1985, the station and the adjoining station master's house were given Grade II listed building status. Bridlington: Bridlington railway station serves the town of Bridlington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Yorkshire Coast Line and is operated by Northern who provide all passenger train services. Bempton: Bempton railway station serves the village of Bempton in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Yorkshire Coast Line and is operated by Northern who provide all passenger train services. It is located on the single track section between Hunmanby and Bridlington and is the nearest railway station to the RSPB nature reserve at Bempton Cliffs (1.5 miles (2.4 km) away to the east). The station formerly had two platforms and a signal box (which supervised the now automated level crossing here), but the second platform has been disused since the Bridlington to Hunmanby section was singled in 1969. Goods sidings and weighbridge were located immediately north of the station. Hunmanby: Hunmanby railway station serves the village of Hunmanby in North Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Yorkshire Coast Line and is operated by Northern who provide all passenger train services. The station opened for traffic on 20 October 1847 and is the point at which the single-track section from Bridlington ends, the line being double north of here towards Filey. As originally built, the line was double throughout but the section to Bridlington was singled as an economy measure in 1973. Further modernization work saw the signal box here abolished and removed in 2000, with the level crossing automated and remaining semaphore signals replaced by colour lights operated remotely from Seamer. The station is unstaffed, and passengers must purchase their ticket on the train. The station buildings remain and are now privately occupied - the main waiting room and the separate ladies' waiting room having been converted to holiday accommodation. Step-free access is available to both platforms via the automatic level crossing at the south end, whilst train running information can be obtained from timetable posters or telephone. Local initiatives, such as door-to-door delivery of timetables in Hunmanby and surrounding villages, lead to a significant increase in patronage of this station between 2006 and 2008 and the increased number of passengers using this station has continued in subsequent years. Filey: Filey railway station is a Grade II* listed station opened in 1846 on the Hull to Scarborough Line, which serves the town of Filey in North Yorkshire, England. It is operated by Northern, who provide all passenger train services. Seamer: Seamer railway station serves the village of Seamer in North Yorkshire, England. It lies near the end of the Scarborough branch on the TransPennine Express North TransPennine route, 39 miles (63 km) east of York at its junction with the northern end of the Yorkshire Coast Line. Seamer station is managed by TPE, with services being run by both Northern and TransPennine Express. The station is actually sited between the communities of Eastfield and Crossgates, about one mile from Seamer. It took the name of Seamer since there was already a Cross Gates railway station in West Yorkshire. Scarborough: Scarborough railway station, formerly Scarborough Central, is a Grade II listed station serving the seaside town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire. It lies 42 miles (68 km) east of York and is one of the eastern termini on the North TransPennine route, operated by TransPennine Express. The station is also at the northern end of the Yorkshire Coast Line and is reputed to have the longest station seat in the world at 456-foot (139 m) long. From 1907 until 2010 the station approaches were controlled from a 120-lever signal box named Falsgrave (at the outer end of platform 1 and close to the former excursion station at Scarborough Londesborough Road). In its final years Falsgrave box controlled a mixture of colour-light and semaphore signals, including a gantry carrying 11 semaphores. The signal box was decommissioned in September 2010 and the gantry was dismantled and removed in October 2010. Its new home was Grosmont railway station, on the NYMR. The new signalling is a relay-based interlocking with two-and three-aspect LED signals controlled from an extension to the existing panel at nearby Seamer. Simplification of the track layout and major renewals took place at the same time. So that's the Yorkshire Coast Line, I hope you enjoyed this suggestion, post below your thoughts about the route coming to TSW3 or future TSW titles
A very detailed and interesting suggestion and a great read. As an Aussie, I love the UK routes and rolling stock. Count me in please!
I don’t think I’ve seen a better idea for a route than this one. I’d say it ticks all the Train Sim World boxes.
Agreed, it's scenic, has a single track section between Bridlington and Hunmanby, potential railtour, it'll have everything a TSW player would like for this route with the time period I would like it set in
Great Choice of Rolling Stock! I'd love to see this scenic route. I've seen a few vids of it on YouTube. Also, I can see why you chose those trains and this route . Class 158, Class 170...Highland Mainline? Aberdeen-Dundee? Your local route? . Doesn't matter. Great choice of route and trains! I always love your detailed suggestions! Like everyone else said, it would be a perfect fit for TSW!
Yep, thanks another wonderful thread I have made there, the stock is similar because that's what Northern use on that line
This or the Harrogate Loop line would be perfect for a Class 170 - Let's just hope the Northern branding can be used.
Yep, let's hope Northern allow Dovetail their license otherwise all Northern routes would be redundant
It’s surprising they haven’t already. Plus, they were able to get the FirstGroup license for GWR, and First also runs Transpennine Express, so I suppose provided they still have the license, they could always give us a modern Transpennine… two huge stations, two of the best modern liveries, trains we haven’t seen before…
Bring it on and this is a part of the UK not seen in-game. Your suggestion can give a Class 155 to the Main Trans Pennine route used by Northern Rail the Calder Valley Line Manchester Victoria-Halifax-Leeds City.
Yeah, if Calder Valley was made, which you would be very happy about, the 155 could layer in alongside the other Sprinters included in the route
Correct and If you look at my signature it has 195 170 158 standard 156 & 150/2 DLC. Since I had to guess what Northern Rail Trains run there.
Yeah, to shed some light on drivable traction and AI traction, utilising those trains 150/2 - Drivable between Rochdale and Manchester Victoria, also as AI around Manchester and Leeds 156 - Same as above, also as AI around Manchester 158 - Drivable on any service between Manchester and Leeds 170 - AI around Leeds 195 - Drivable on any service between Manchester and Leeds Hope the above helps
Thanks for the information and if they make my suggestion Calder Valley Line and your Yorkshire Coast Line suggestion some AI Trains in Hull are the Halifax & Bradford Interchange services. My route Calder Valley Line gives 156 & 150/2 layer to Yorkshire Coast Line while yours gives a 155 layer to my route. Achievement wise the game ends up tracking Calder Valley 150/2 as a WCL version. To save on costs DTG can make a Bundle called Northern Rail Calder Valley and Yorkshire Coast Lines.
Yep, you'd have to make a connection between Hull and Leeds though, possibly through Selby, more Hull Trains services too with Brough, Howden and Selby being three of their calling points before Doncaster, TPE and the 185s with suitable services too, Northern have their stoppers between York and Hull which go through Selby and along towards Hull that way
156s and 150/2s don't go to Hull I'm afraid, it's either 158s, 155s or 170s for Northern traction at Hull, maybe a backdated timetable for the 156s and 150/2s if they served Hull moons ago
So, I see this, go to add my thoughts, and find out someone dug through God knows how many pages (page 6 of the Suggestions forum and I'm still only in December 2024) just to correct somebody on something they said over two years ago. Why?
