Here’s your next Ts2021 route building challenge! The metrolink!

[@thatkentishtrainguy6040]

Be nice to see Croydon tramlink or the DLR as a drivable thing in a simulator. Good video as always.

[@ec8451]

I believe that the DLR is available for BVE

[@willhapgood3986]

Alty to Deansgate Castlefield (GMEX) was my daily commute until the world shut, thanks for the upload!

[@TrainSim_TV]

Glad you enjoyed the virtual commute

[@gullygully69]

And a reminder of the Pacer trams around Navigation road. They've only just recently got rid of these

[@wijem05]

Fantastic Video Mark, Loving the retro thumbnail!

[@TrainSim_TV]

Cheers Derek

[@tombore9516]

Another great vid! I agree you need to remake the Metrolink in TS, it would be great and so many different Operations with the trams and train services :) King regards, Tom

[@TerenceCunliffe]

Embarrassed to admit that I've only just come across this. As the author of the route back in 2007 (Strewth, so long ago!), it certainly brought back some nostalgic moments. Thanks for sharing. One comment though, the ballasted track in the city centre is almost certainly a result of the OR technology, which of course is much more recent. MSTS seems to represent the scenery correctly. Cheers Terry

[@TrainSim_TV]

Really glad you enjoyed watching this. Also a huge thanks for a fantastic route that still lives on well today.

[@kevingraham2733]

From what i remember the trams took over from the 3rd rail 504's on the Bury - Manchester route, can't remember the year

[@DistrictDriver]

That took me back! Thank you!

[@jordanbrooks7468]

I remember getting the tram even before Exchange Square opened, it was nice to get off at Victoria if we went to Etihad Campus

[@gullygully69]

It's Prestwich, not Prestwick (which is in Scotland)

[@eriol_mits3121]

For a old route this is pretty accurate. Been a while since i have rode the metro link but all the station seem to be correctly represented.

[@Steven-qi4gm]

I dunno, I’m only 5 mins in the stations and scenery looks miles different today

[@johnh10000]

I think the signal at St Peter's Square with "*" no aspect, you must have "passed" it even though you could still see it! Had not heard of Open Rails. Is there any other Metrolink routes, in anything? I have TSW3, Train Sim 2021 you get the idea! Hopefully, there is the Ashton line. Great stuff!

[@leeproctor7622]

I love the video ty.I used to Drive 304s over the Route to Manchester I really loved driving the Route was gutted when the trams came ✔✔✔

[@Steven-qi4gm]

You keep going past the red stop marker on the platforms :)

[@TrainSim_TV]

Nothing new there for Tom 🤣

[@flyingcod14]

Like going to work back in the day. ;o)

[@iaspex1289]

Yes! Thank you!

[@NSE465]

It's not that old. It's like early 2000s.

[@skeletonjam]

thats 20 years ago

[@BloodMoonASMR]

2007

[@arjunsharma7619]

Microsoft needs to revamp the game and give dtg some competition

[@mattwhelan13]

this is incredible, I hope someone makes it for TS21

[@ec8451]

MSTS reminds me of BVE a lot!

[@jamtart606]

I still love playing MSTS, lovely to see that this is becoming a series. Do you use TrainStore by the way?

[@TrainSim_TV]

Not got train store in use currently. Just OpenRails

[@Porham]

My home meto line not that accurate but its a game from 2001

[@thekevbutler]

Belter one this.

[@TrainSim_TV]

Cheers Kev!

[@arielmoschini3721]
