South London Network Out Now for Train Simulator 2015 On Steam!

The South London Network add-on is now available for Train Simulator 2015 at the usual price of £24.99 including the Class 456 and 375. A map of the route can be found below, but amazingly someone going by the Steam username of Danny has successfully merged the route with London to Brighton already and uploaded it to Steam Workshop before I even wrote this blog post it can be found at http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=341200017.

New T:ANE Screenshots!

Today NV3 Games have released new screenshots from their next generation Train Simulator: Trainz: A New Era which can be viewed below. None of the screenshots show anything from the UK so far.

The graphics are a little disappointing in my opinion they are still very recognizable as Trainz rather than closer to reality, the terrain looks too rounded and the track gauge looks a little narrow. Of-course it's simulation not graphics that counts though and we can't see that from some screenshots!
More information can be found on The Kickstarter Page.

Class 456 and 375 Included In South London Network With 378 Available Separately

Today Dovetail Games have announced on their RailSimulator.com Facebook page  that the recently announced South London Network DLC will come with both a Class 456 and a Class 375, with a Class 378 available as a twin pack. This is despite the fact that in reality 456s have moved to South West Trains and no longer run down any of the line in the add-on, however its appear to be modeled as it currently is with London Overground branding (see picture below). Presumably this because the route will include London Victoria while now 378s only run as far as Clapham Junction. 

The route will include the main line from Victoria to East Croydon forming the western boundary, while the line from London Bridge south to West Croydon crosses at Selhurst and forms the eastern boundary. Both lines join at Selhurst into he Brighton Main Line. Two roughly concentric semi-circles link the two lines further into the city, the 9-mile inner circle (via Denmark Hill) and 16-mile outer circle (via Crystal Palace).
