Train Simulator 2018 - Route Learning: Llandudno to Crewe (AP Class 150/2) // 60fps

[@uhegbu]

You are right that Chester is in England. The line passes its famous racecourse, the 'Roodee' as its nickname.

[@alrafter]

I have always been a flight sim fan, and always thought that the rail sim would be too easy in comparison.On impulse I bought this last week while some of the dlc was on sale. This route is the only thing I have tried so far and I found it much harder and more enjoyable than I expected. This is the first route I tried and I just couldn't keep up with the timetable. After watching this though, I realised that I needed to be more aggressive with acceleration and breaking. So I have found this to be extremely helpful.

[@jack_Robert_mtb]

Love your videos your so nice and kind

[@alexeden4637]

so glad we've got Crewe in TS now! hopefully we'll finally get extensions on the WCML route

[@pedroneves3153]

Yessss finally, 150/2 + PGTRAIL and his 60 FPS = Heaven

[@Norwegian_Train]

sounds like heaven for real

[@StollBrownless]

I always found it funny how you pronounced the German names... Now you should probably find it funny how I thought the Welsh names were pronounced, especially Llandudno... I only knew how to pronounce the English names Chester and Crewe...

[@InstaSim6]

From looking at Google Maps, the border into England is just before the bridge which is after the signal 2 1/2 miles from Chester before the 2 lines become 3.

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

the border is roughly a mile past victoria road level crossing!!!

[@inversnecky4155]

Excellent video. As a newbie to TS, how do you manage to pan around the cab? I can't seem to do this using any of the arrow keys.

[@SimUKReviews]

I knew I knew your name lol. Fabulous video as always, I have spent all night looking into the pro series, this is my first considered purchase.

[@samwalsh5133]

Great video. If possible could you do Haverfordwest to Cardiff Central please

[@jacobiscool144]

Sam Walsh Haverfordwest is not in the game currently, there would need to be a Milford Haven extension to have it. The furthest point he can drive from is Swansea.

[@anthonyholroyd4338]

I work on the railways in Scotland (I'm a steward, though I recently passed my 'safety critical' test for a conductors position). On a fair number of the lines I work (including one you've covered in a previous video from Perth to Dundee) we use coloured light distant signals and upper quadrant semaphore home & section signals.

[@Ciaranburrows]

Prestatyn is built very well i go here on holiday every year and it looks like that

[@itchitandscratchit4534]

great video ilive along this line and use regular and the detail is really goo. just to let you know shotton is the last station in wales and the border to England is at the saltney junction timed stamp around 1H 03 secs.

[@gandalf7292]

My god all these explanations... You’re a train instructor ! That’s the reason I subbed to you

[@hj-mr5gg]

I have the South Wales Coast route as well as the Arriva Trains Wales DMU pack and i love it

[@barryallott]

Holy crap, it actually went into the correct platform at Crewe

[@endlessnameless1211]

Stops at deganwy are only by request so you don't need to stop there unless someone has let the conductor know.

[@scottlucas1037]

Can you do a video for the line from Wrexham into Merseyside passing by shotton

[@sirrliv]

46:07-ish: I must admit, a part of me is extremely slightly microscopically disappointed that you made no mention or special camera shot to passing the hulk of the TSS Duke of Lancaster. As I recall from my days traveling up and down the NWCL, that was one of the most distinct non-natural landmarks on this route, and I'm pleased that DTG included it in their version.

[@Tomcogsy]

Nice video, just to let you know Snowdonia mountain is way out of Llandudno junction, more towards Bangor station following after Llandudno junction to Holyhead, the part you mistook for that is old Colwyn where I live :)

[@CadenWASD]

How is yours so zoomed out in the cab!? My camera is placed so only the window is in frame

[@getout9728]

Really realistic..

[@trainboy3534]

Hello PTGRail.

[@ciaranbird3373]

Awesome job, well done

[@CohaLevelcrossingsChannel]

Looking very good !

[@fifesimracerguy455]

Nice video mate now regarding 2018 version in your video it doesn’t look like there where any FPS drops like in 2017 is that right

[@rogercrick9813]

Another excellent video, Peter.

[@dave3cannon]

Can i ask for your help and ask how you get this route. Thanks

[@RazordraacGaming]

How is the Class 221 included with this pack? I've heard people saying it's improved over the XC 220 DTG released earlier.

[@andybray9791]

Would like to see a 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 border signs on railways too

[@transportationuk7656]

I’ll make a rerelease of the Route with all of the Speed Boards on Steam Workshop. I should have the route finished by New Years Day 2019.

[@Cpr1234]

I wish the Birmingham - Shrewsbury route was in train simulator. My home town (Telford) is on this line

[@dillshiba9376]

I Live in Whitchurch so I wish Welsh Marches and Birmingham Lines were in this game

[@TravelJackJourneys158]

Same here my local station is Telford Central

[@jeremychambers7861]

Just wondering if these graphics are native to the simulator or if there is a mod applied. I can't seem to get even my 2019 to look this good.

[@madmackemstransportadventu523]

Have u considered doing London Underground Route learning or Doing the Grand Central Sunderland to Kings Cross route or the Durham Coastline Route from Middlesbrough to Newcastle.

[@sw01ller]

GSMR and NRN!! Haha. Just annFYI, the signal number is 007 from P3. Hold gear is the heater button now too! Let’s see what else I can see that’s wrong....(taking in mind I drove this route 2 times today in a real train) ok, can’t speed up until the 2nd junction out of Llandudno. That semiphore doesn’t have an AWS...... no AWS fore the (non existent) Morpeth board for the 35 towards Deganwy. Half barrier crossings??? (Stopped in the correct place by the way) ....... this gonna be a long comment!!! A 153????? Was it lost??? This guy is slow AF btw!!! 20/15 is a pain, hate it! Bangin detail to be fair. We’re at Llandudno junction now, stop by the 25mph board (fyi). There IS a 45mph sign out of LJ.....(did that nuclear flask only have one loco????) I want to wrap that telephone wire round the DRA box!!! Oh, and a 150 would never hit 75mph before Colwyn Bay, a 175 doesn’t hit 75!!!!! Stop at Colwyn Bay at the end of the canopy, this helps if you have a wheelchair at the back, there’s a red barrier put in place and it impedes the wheelchair ramp otherwise. Don’t know where these trees have come from??? Nearing penmeanrhos tunnel. Need a wee. Don’t need to shut off after llysfayn. (No groundframe?) what the hell was that signal before Abergele??? Doesn’t exist now with the new signalling and it didn’t exist before it changed either!!! (Now 90 right after Abergele) I don’t watch anymore of this, it’s annoying me!!!!

[@Gordons1888]

While you were in Llandudno did you visit the male voice choir it’s very enjoyable

[@JakeBSteam]

Excellent video mate. Regards Jake

[@volvotrident4835]

Great video like always! Do wish the game upgrade was every 2 years as it is abit annoying doing it every year as for me a year feels like yesterday

[@RhysStirling]

I have a family member who lives in Prestatyn and it’s very often I’m on this route and it’s very realistic great video by the way and is this scenario on the workshop

[@123WelshDan321]

I'd love to mod in the sadly disappeared Old Colwyn platform :)

[@GreaterAngliaFanClass321]

Love your videos

[@TravelJackJourneys158]

I have got the TS2017 and I have got the TS2018 re-branding but how do I get the North Wales Coast

[@linnen4252]

What are your graphic settings please

[@paulmurray4869]

i realy enjoyed watching this amazing vid just awesome thank you

[@Gordons1888]

I hope they make an extension to Blaenau Ffestiniog

[@TheGWRailfan]

There is a freeware one available on BackdatedTrainSim

[@tjhux1698]

Whats your settings as quality is brilliant, thanks

[@jakebahulse894]

That is really detailed, amazing!

[@danielcresswell7477]

Looks like a nice route but it's bad they left out a lot of the speed posts.

[@nerysjones1159]

can you do Cardiff central to Ebbw Vale please. Great video

[@dodge2340]

I really hope they make the Cambrian coast line Birmingham international to Pwllheli

[@thesouthwesttrainsguy277]

Can u do a tutorial on how u make ur custom real life timetable scenarios please? btw great vid

[@xinotron]

www.realtimetrains.co.uk go to this site and search on advanced settings

[@jonathanansell5627]

Not to sure if it is a feature of the class 150/2 but it seems that even in full power the train lowers the rpm of the engine at around 45?

[@PTGRail]

Destination Gaming that’s to do with the transmission in the Class 150. The rpm does slow down at around 45mph, but then gradually increases with speed. So above 45mph, it’s directly related to how fast you’re travelling.

[@jonathanansell5627]

Oh right that’s good to know :) I thought that it might of been a noise reduction for the passengers, you learn something new everyday.

[@dieselpower7075]

It has a two speed automatic gear box hence like every other DMU they do same

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

Can you download this route in Train Simulator 2017? Or do you have to have Train Simulator 2018?

[@Ramsay58]

You'll have to buy TS2018 to get the North Wales Route, though TS2018 is priced at the same price point ((£24.99) as a single 'new' route. Existing TS2017 owners get the TS2018 re-branding (TS2018 loading screens) but won't receive the 3 'new' routes for free.

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

Ramsay Beshir oh I got the branding but not the routes, thanks for the information! 😀

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

Ramsay Beshir I've got the route ages ago now

[@trainviation7119]

Fantastic video 😁😁👍👍

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

TrainsFanUk Hai Jace 😃 I am a big fan of your enthusiasm and accents and channel 😀

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

TrainsFanUk xD

[@matteoolivergosnell1085]

Is north wales available for ts2017?

[@zqjzqjzqjzqj]

Great video Pete.Cheers

[@TicTacTrolleyServiceTico]

Dumb question but how to get TS 2018? because i got TS 2016.... does it update of what?

[@Frowny13]

It gives you a free update which gives you the new menu banner, but you have to pay for the add-ons for the 2018 package.

[@zarak002]

Been ages since I have watched one of these videos. Would like to travel on North Wales Line at some point in real life.

[@gerritdutch1869]

Nice work mate, Could you please share this scenario?

[@Fookracists]

Guys is it true that you need isle of Wight+ south London routes to get the d78 stock train

[@madhukar8086]

Very very good game

[@matthewmerrill1807]

Brill vid as always

[@MisterTnT2]

Will you also make an video on the Mitterwaldbahn?

[@PhantomUniform0]

I wonder if dovetail is going to put the gsmr raido in other trains too

[@aperrin9727]

PhantomUniform0 DTG didn't put it in. AP did.

[@TOGAviationVideography]

Another fab video there mate ;) ;) :) :)

[@utkusaglam5418]

How did you make these graphics perfect?

[@am-vm8ew]

Have a good PC and run the game at max settings.

[@officialbrenkiemy9699]

Really detailed subtitles! 😄 I liked this video but I don’t do subscribes.

[@barryallott]

They should add the heart of wales line

[@am-vm8ew]

I can't stand the comment section on these videos sometimes. Everyone just requests random routes and they don't bother to research and look on steam to check if the route is actually in the game, so they just assume that every route in existence is in the game.

[@nasfg2329]

Good goin'!

[@CrusherUK2013]

Hi Peter, great video again. It's a shame DTG don't reward the people that have had the game for years with the addons that come with TS2018.

[@rhysrobertstransportationa1668]

Do a boarderlands line

[@Gordons1888]

Rhys Roberts where’s that?

[@owenmoran8344]

Will they be releasing this as a separate add-on instead of buying the game again?

[@Ramsay58]

Not sure it'll make sense until TS2019 is released as, TS2018 is priced at the same price point as a 'new' route (£24.99) - you can think of TS2018 as "North Wales Route" plus 2 bonus routes (sucks if you already own them though). Personally, I'll be waiting for a sale as I've got plenty of other routes/scenarios to play first :) but having ridden and worked on the line, it is a route I'll get eventually.

[@owenmoran8344]

+Ramsay Beshir thanks 👍

[@theredrag1541]

Clandudno? It pronounced landudno

[@PTGRail]

The Ll in Welsh isn’t pronounced with an L sound. It’s more like “hlan”

[@theredrag1541]

PTGRail I really don’t know mate I ain’t welsh I’m English but I always pronounced it landudno

[@fdfq3118]

Don't know why he always goes through the train history every video when we have heard the same thing when he's used the same train before waste of time to a video I think

[@PTGRail]

I do it because others who are new to my channel or videos might not have heard it before. I try to make these videos as accessible to new viewers and potential new subscribers as possible.
