I created a other train for my London Commuter train route because i have design a other train to drive on this train route on tsw3 the colour of my new train is yellow red and blue

I have just completed my new design for this new kit. Hope you all like comments welcome.

here is a bit of history

The British Rail Class 700 is an electric multiple unit passenger train from the Desiro City family built by Siemens Mobility. It is capable of operating on 25 kV 50 Hz AC from overhead wires or 750 V DC from third rail. 115 trainsets were built between 2014 and 2018, for use on the Thameslink network, as part of the Thameslink Programme in the United Kingdom. As of 2021, they are operated by Govia Thameslink Railway.

In 2011, the consortium Cross London Trains (XLT) consisting of Siemens Project Ventures, 3i Infrastructure, and Innisfree was announced as preferred bidder with Siemens Mobility to manufacture the trains. The decision was politically controversial as the trains were to be built in Germany, while the competing consortium led by Bombardier Transportation had a UK train factory. Both the procurement process and final close of contract were significantly delayed, resulting in the expected first delivery date moving from 2012 to 2016. The £1.6 billion contract to manufacture and provide service depots for the trains was finalised in June 2013. The first train was delivered in late July 2015.

A fleet of 60 eight-car and 55 twelve-car trains entered service between Spring 2016 and 2019. Having replaced Class 319s, 377s, and 387s, Class 700s are the only trains operated on the Thameslink network. Each train is able to reach 100 mph (160 km/h) and carry 1,146 passengers in an 8-car train, and 1,754 passengers in a 12-car train. Maintenance depots have been built at Hornsey and Three Bridges.

Introduction into service

The first train arrived in the UK by the end of July 2015, and was delivered to the Three Bridges depot. The first test run on the Brighton Main Line took place in December 2015.

The first train in service was unit 700108 forming the 1002 Brighton to London Bridge service on 20 June 2016. By 18 September 2017, Class 700s replaced all Class 319, 377, and 387 units previously in use on the network. All units were accepted by Thameslink by summer 2018, and by the end of 2019 all were in passenger service.

The Class 700 fleet, at 60 eight-car and 55 twelve-car units, is over double the size of the old Thameslink fleet. This increase has been used not only to enhance capacity, but also to expand the Thameslink network.

On 6 November 2017, Class 700s started on the Great Northern route with the first, 700128, operating the 0656 Peterborough to London Kings Cross service. The Great Northern route has since been partially incorporated in the Thameslink network after through services through the Canal Tunnels began on 26 February 2018. On this route, Class 700s replaced parts of the Class 365 fleet.

On 11 December 2017, Class 700s took over peak-time services from London Bridge to Littlehampton and weekday-only services from London Bridge to Horsham from Southern with the former starting from Bedford instead of London Bridge.

From 21 May 2018, Class 700s also entered service on the new Rainham to Luton service, having replaced the Southeastern Class 465s from Gillingham to London Charing Cross. The Class 465s are now being used to enhance capacity on other routes.

Class 700s are still due to enter service on a planned new service between Cambridge and Maidstone East but a date for this has not yet been confirmed.

This is my new train that i created for my tsw3

Last month, we asked James to give us an update on the Class 700, and he went ham on it. This time around, we have a release date for you, pricing information, sounds, and a teaser video sharing what you can expect.

James: “That’s right it’s me, back at it again with Class 700 news, and let’s kick things off with the most important update of the day, everyone’s favourite Desiro City is coming to Train Sim World 3 on July 11th!”

“The Thameslink BR Class 700/0 will be available on all platforms, for £12.99/ €15.99/ $16.99, and we will also have bundle options available to pick up the ultimate Kent High Speed experience!”

“As the countdown begins for more commuter action in the Medway Towns, I also have another little gift up my sleeve for you all, foster your foresight into the inner workings of the Class 700 with the manual! Be prepared for July 11th by familiarising yourself with the cab controls, procedures and included gameplay.”

Download the manual!

“To get a glimpse of the 700 in action, we will have a RailfanTV preview stream in 2 days’ time, July 6th at 1800 UTC, where Matt, JD and yours truly will showcase the all-new unit. If you just cannot wait that long though, never fear, as we also have a walkaround video which we can share with you today. See the Class 700 in action, including its dual-voltage capabilities”

“With the Class 700 releasing in a week’s time, the unit is essentially feature, physics and sounds complete – the Desiro City’s are certainly interesting to drive, much like the Class 395 the difference between AC and DC acceleration is noticeable, but what is a common factor throughout are the brakes. They, have, oomph; the fastest I’ve personally approached a station so far is close to 50mph, and I still made the stop! So while being daring is not a recommended driving practice, it’s certainly good fun to put the 700 through its paces in various conditions.”

“For the sounds, a mix of sources have been vital to our efforts, including files from the detailed Armstrong Powerhouse soundset. The distinctive DC traction motors are my favourite, with an extra twist compared to older UK Desiros, the motor phase sound change happens at 28mph rather than 20, which makes it a handy notifier for your speed approaching the limit through the dense Medway towns!”

“The Class 700 will complete the passenger experience on Southeastern Highspeed, bringing an additional 80+ services and a bumper-pack of 7 scenarios. Being a familiar sight to thousands every day, including many of us here at DTG, it’s been a labour of love – the seats might be a bit stiff, they might just be a way of getting from A to B, but they’re solid, effective, and plain old good fun!”

Thanks, James! We have some additional things worth mentioning, which we’ll discuss more on the preview stream on Thursday.

During the testing window, we’ve identified some difficulties with performance on certain consoles (specifically Xbox Series S) with all the new services being added to Southeastern High Speed. As a result, we will be providing a full timetable, and a smaller, less memory-demanding timetable, which will mainly remove some static stock and less-visible AI services.

Players will have the smaller timetable by default in Journey Mode, and the option to try the more memory-intensive timetable in the services menu!

And finally, by way of an update, we’ve not been able to put the Thameslink Stop Markers we mentioned in last month’s Roadmap into the launch release for the Class 700, but they are firmly in our sights for an update further down the line.

The Preview is at 18:00 UTC this Thursday (6th July), so set your alarms and join us!

I designed this yesterday on tsw3, which is a new route covering Manchester Piccadilly, via Glossop onwards to  Hadfield. Hadfield is the terminus. This also includes station new infrastructure, which adds to the Charming ambience. The travel experience takes in a metropolitan and rural backgrounds

Experience the Class 323 from Manchester through to Derbyshire in the next Train Sim World 3 route Add-on! Train Sim World 3: Glossop Line: Manchester – Hadfield & Glossop is coming 27th June.

A new operator, a new route and some exciting new gameplay features! Glossop Line: Manchester – Hadfield & Glossop may have some familiar elements – not least the starring unit – but this short, unique and complete line has plenty to offer for both new players and those with existing UK content.

We have a unique loyalty / launch offer, which you can read more about further down and details of two new gameplay features for this route – the ‘On Guard’ Guarding Scenario and ‘Gossip Line’ Photography Scenario.

The Class 323 has proved popular among railfans since its introduction in 1994 and became an equally popular addition to the Train Sim World fleet in Birmingham Cross-City Line: Lichfield – Bromsgrove & Redditch. At the end of 1997 these distinctive EMUs were introduced to the Glossop Line, working under a number of guises before becoming branded under the current operator Northern.

The standout feature, recognisable from in the cab or on the platform, is the whine that the traction motors emit during acceleration and deceleration. Sounds formed an important and detailed part of the process for the team during the initial development of Birmingham Cross-City and you can read more about how these were recorded by revisiting our November Roadmap from last year.

For Glossop Line, the features of the Class 323 remain very much the same, ensuring a dependable and enjoyable experience from inside the cab, but through a distinctly different environment to that of the suburban West Midlands. On the outside, the unit displays the purple hue of Northern’s current livery along with unit numbers that reflect the fleet used in this part of England.

Guard functionality also returns but as a fully interactive gameplay feature in the ‘On Guard’ Scenario, where players perform various duties outside of driving, including checking passenger tickets! A full in-depth look at how we developed this new and exciting feature is covered in the recent June Roadmap.

Modern Manchester is represented in Train Sim World for the first time in Glossop Line, with Manchester Piccadilly Station forming the terminus at the western end of the route. This iconic and important station for the northwest becomes the latest major UK station to be featured in Train Sim World, joining the likes of Birmingham New Street, London Victoria, Leeds, Glasgow Central and Liverpool Lime Street from previous route Add-ons.

Heading east, the route forms part of the historic Woodhead Line which ran its way through the Pennines via the Woodhead Tunnels to the city of Sheffield. This line closed east of Hadfield in 1981 and it is here where the current line and this route Add-on terminates. A few miles south, another terminus exists at Glossop. Trains from Manchester call here before changing ends and continuing to Hadfield and the same happens in reverse – trains depart Hadfield and call at Glossop first, before changing ends and continuing west along the line to Manchester.

Dinting Station forms (along with Glossop and Hadfield) one of three Derbyshire stations along this route and is also the location of the impressive Dinting Viaduct built in 1844. Stations west of here fall within Greater Manchester and feature the likes of Guide Bridge, Flowery Field and Broadbottom.

The complete end-to-end(-to-end?) route offers a different setting for the Class 323 with a slower pace and unique operation at both eastern termini.

Another new gameplay feature!

In addition to the exciting Guard Scenario mentioned earlier, players will also be able to do some on-foot exploration with a camera in hand as part of another unique gameplay feature in Glossop Line.

The ‘Gossip Line’ Scenario tasks the player with taking some specific photos as they complete a drive along the line, with photo points at some of the stations. Once the journey is complete, the player will see a photo gallery at Manchester Picadilly station for them to review at the end!

2 tph (trains per hour) will run between Manchester Piccadilly and Hadfield, calling at Glossop along the way, requiring tight timekeeping and diligent driving when approaching some signals.

Early morning and late evening ECS (Empty Coaching Stock) runs will be playable between Manchester and Ardwick Depot, which is located between Ardwick and Ashburys Stations at the western end of the route.

AI Class 323 services will also be seen running off the map in services from Manchester to Crewe, Manchester Airport, Stoke-on-Trent and Liverpool Lime Street.

There are also some service layers to look forward to for players of both Train Sim World 3 and Train Sim World Compatible content:

• EMT Class 158 (Midland Main Line) will appear as AI services at Manchester Piccadilly, with one playable ECS movement to operate.
• Class 66 RHTT will be playable during the relevant in-game seasons (Sept-Nov) and feature as static stock all year round.
• Railtours! Both steam and diesel railtours will be playable utilising locomotives and rolling stock from Tees Valley Line (Class 37 + Mk2 Coaches), Northern Trans-Pennine (Class 47, Class 20 + Mk2 Coaches) and Spirit of Steam.
• Freight Occasional freight services between Hyde North / Guide Bridge and Ashburys / Manchester Piccadilly.

Along with a host of other seasonal static and AI layers using stock from the West Somerset Railway, Southeastern Highspeed, Great Western Express, Midland Main Line and more!

A discount of 10% will be available from launch to most players who have previously purchased Birmingham Cross-City (and thus, the Class 323). A breakdown of these Launch / Loyalty discounts is as follows:

• Xbox: 10% discount for players that own Birmingham Cross-City (ends 31st July 1000 BST)
• Steam: 10% discount for players that own Birmingham Cross-City (ends 31st July 1800 BST)
• PlayStation: 10% launch discount for PS Plus members (ends 31st July 1000 BST)
• Epic Games Store: 10% launch discount for all players (ends 4th July 1600 BST)

This is the first time we’ve worked to bring savings for our most loyal players and we hope there will be similar opportunities to do so across all platforms in future!

Train Sim World 3: Glossop Line: Manchester – Hadfield & Glossop route Add-on will be available from June 27th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam for £19.99/$24.99/€24.99.

Join the Railfan TV team on Twitch, YouTube and Facebook at 18:00 UTC on Thursday 22nd June for a preview of Glossop Line.

If you’re a fan of things formed of multiple vehicles, than run on two parallel rails, then we have something a bit different coming to console from today!

Okay, so they might not be trains per se, but for fans of the wider transport simulation genre, the chance to drive trams at the heart of two bustling European cities is an exciting one! In TramSim: Console Edition, players will be able to immerse themselves in ViewApp’s home of Vienna, Austria as well as Munich, Germany. Both cities are recreated with pure photorealism and a focus on the stunning urban landscapes that form the routes that the playable tram services run on.

The contemporary Flexity, handed over to Wiener Linien in 2018, joins the well-known classic Type E2 in Vienna, which first graced the city’s streets in 1978. Whilst the Flexity features a host of mod-cons such as low energy consumption, LED lighting and air conditioning, the E2 itself includes its own technical innovations of its time, such as swing-out steps and “chopper control” (also called pulse control) – a circuit for controlling motors.

The ULF (short for Ultra-Low-Floor) is the first generation of low-floor trams in Vienna’s tram network and has been in operation since 1995. The special features of this vehicle type are the unique design with axle-free bogies and one of the lowest boarding heights worldwide for tram vehicles.

In Munich, players will enter the cab of the unique R2.2b tram, a modernised version of the R2.2 tram that’s been in service since 2011. The individual tram-bodies influence each other meaning that at the end of a curve, the tram sways in the other direction. As a result, curbs in the city have been cut to accommodate this unique movement.

Vienna’s tram network, operated by the Wiener Linien, is the fifth largest tram network in the world with more than 500 tram-trains and 28 lines. Since the electrification in 1987, the tram has become an indispensable part of the city’s traffic scene. Landmarks such as the Vienna State Opera are located on the network amongst the busy road traffic.

Deluxe Edition players will also get to run operations around Vienna Favoriten depot, which is 150 years old this year, having been built in 1873.

Three playable routes feature in Bavaria’s most populated city: 23, 27 and 28 with a varying number of stops between them. This makes for both short and longer sessions of gameplay heading past a number of attractions, like the Pinakotheken and Alte Börse.

Gameplay in both cities centres around learning the realistic controls of each tram, whilst negotiating the busy urban streets and traffic. Once players are comfortable in the cab they’ll be able to enjoy the beautiful and historic European architecture in an environment that makes full use of Unreal Engine.

TramSim has already been a hit on PC, with players praising its realism and attention to detail. The console version of the game will feature all the same great gameplay and features, but with optimized controls for the console platforms.

TramSim: Console Edition is available from today on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.

TramSim: Console Edition (Deluxe): £44.99/€49.99/$49.99

TramSim: Console Edition (Standard): £32.99/€39.99/$39.99

Overview

We’ve opened up our seasonal event this year to include more fun ways to earn livery decals through our Easter mastery challenge, including an Easter Egg hunt, Easter Social Quiz and your chance to win a free TSW Add-on of your choice!

Find out all the details in this article, and whether you celebrate Easter or not, we hope you can enjoy the fun that the Dovetail Live, Development, Creative and Community teams have been working hard on creating!

Mastery Event Egg Hunt

You will not initially be able to find the Easter bunny in Training Center, you must first unlock the mastery tile and activate it.

To unlock the event, you will need to complete any scenario or tutorial, which will then reveal the mastery tile in your Mastery Rewards Menu. Activate it and then head over to the Training Center to start the egg hunt!

There are 15 hidden eggs across the Training Center, and by finding certain amount of them you will unlock Easter-themed decal rewards. Here are the challenge tiers:

• Collect 3 eggs to unlock Easter Themed Decals.
• Collect 6 eggs to unlock Easter Egg Decals.
• Collect 12 eggs to unlock additional Easter Egg Decals.
• Collect all 15 eggs and the basket is complete – Go and check out the last egg in the basket in Reception.

Each time you collect an egg, another egg will be added to the basket in the reception area with the Easter Bunny, so you can watch as it builds up!

We encourage you to share your own completed egg baskets on social media, and please make sure to tag our accounts @TrainSimWorld! Why not even record the time it took you to find them all, and challenge others to do it faster?

Oh and don’t worry if you are struggling to find all the locations, we have a social post going out over the weekend that will reveal the hidden locations of the eggs, only if you wish to have some help finding them all.

We won’t reveal this for a few days, so be proud if you’re able to get them all without any help!

Final Note

Those of you who have unlocked the Christmas Mastery Tile, you may already see the Easter mastery appear without even completing any services, but it will be missing an icon and will do nothing if you turn it on.

This is simply a visual error, and if you play a service the real mastery tile will unlock, and you can tell because it will correctly have the thumbnail, as shown:

While riding the unique dual third rail section of the Down Fast through Newington, 375924 is seen still clinging onto its previous guise, forming the lead unit on 1S28 Victoria to Ramsgate. The white livery dates back to the days of Connex South Eastern, later adopted by South Eastern Trains, and most recently, Southeastern.

Livery detail changes include fonts used for decals, placement of carriage numbers, moquette and grab pole colours, and of course, the grey stripe and yellow doors. The SERefurb programme took 3 years, re-liverying 112 trains, that’s roughly 50,400 miles worth of trips to Derby and back!

In the timetable, you can expect to find 10 services for the Class 37 itself, dragging Class 375s in a variety of formations and locations, inspired by real-world movements of units. These 10 services have been spread out using the Seasonal feature, meaning you will only see certain movements as AI during certain months of the year, much like the RHTT, Railtours and Summer Special 465s. There is also one bonus service which additionally requires Northern Trans-Pennine, offering an additional helping hand… Here’s how the services breakdown:

January/February: (4 playable services)

• 5X47 Tonbridge West Yard to Slade Green Depot (37+1xBlue 375)
• 5X49 Slade Green Depot to Tonbridge West Yard (37+1xWhite/Yellow 375)
• 5Q58 Derby Litchurch Lane to Ramsgate Depot (37+2xBlue 375s)
• 5Q57 Ramsgate Depot to Derby Litchurch Lane (37+2xWhite/Yellow 375)March/April: (5 playable services)
• 5Q58 Chaddesden Curve to Ramsgate Depot (37+1xBlue 375)
• 5Q57 Ramsgate Depot to Leicester LIP Depot (37+1xWhite/Yellow 375)
• 5Q89 Wembley Reception Sidings to Gillingham Depot (37+2xBlue 375s)
• 5Q23 Yard Prep (37+2xWhite/Yellow 375)
• 5Q23 Gillingham Depot to Wembley Reception Sidings (37+2xWhite/Yellow 375)
