Train Sim World 2 | Isle of Wight (FULL ROUTE)

[@Denbot7]

Awesome, I used to live in Shorwell on the Isle of Wight, we took these trains quite a bit from Newport to Ryde. This looks really quite accurate. Making me very nostalgic.

[@BluGames]

So cool

[@TheMattlockyer]

Wow, that was a long time ago

[@matushie8316]

Fun fact: the isle of Wight is the last place in the world to operate a passenger hovercraft service to and from the island :)

[@BluGames]

Very cool!

[@davequinn2369]

I love going on the hovercraft. Visit family. I've always loved the train ride also. There's a great steam train day out exhibition etc really good stuff.

[@lamvespa1]

Superb vid . I live on the Isle of Wight. It's a great little island on the south coast of England. Just across the water from Portsmouth and Southampton. The rail network on the island used to cover most of the island but alas fell short to its existing network which is demonstrated in reality and on your sim vid . We lost so much to the rail network cuts of the smaller branch lines of the UK and the island thanks to the transport department and a one Dr Beeching during the 1950s and 60s . Anyway thankyou again for a great vid .

[@Wolf-6567]

I grew up on the Island, living in Ryde from the age of 6 till 12 years old. On the Island until maybe 30 years old. This is really good as a representation. Made me a little homesick haha. Great video, thanks for posting subbed and liked. Have a great day :)

[@BluGames]

So cool thanks for watching

[@Highervibesofficial]

I live on the Isle of Wight and use this service frequently and it never gets boring but they have stopped using the 483’s now getting updated trains with WiFi and disabled access !

[@BluGames]

Very cool!!

[@richavery66]

I'm from Southampton, just over the water from the Isle of Wight; in fact, I had a week's holiday there in August this year with my family. If you're ever in the UK, the island is worth visiting - fly to London, catch the train to Southampton or Portsmouth and then the ferry to the island. I love the fact that you researched the route so well - I had no idea that they use old Underground stock; that fact makes it ironic that the lights didn't work well in the tunnel - maybe why London Underground got rid of them! ;)

[@BluGames]

Yea i was interested in location and its history thanks for watching

[@BluGames]

Cool!

[@timelordgeek16]

They scraped those stock at the beginning of January. They currently have more Tube trains from the 70’s that are being tested and the line is being upgraded

[@SoaralotMusic]

Anyone else from the Isle of Wight that can't believe this is a thing?

[@shawnmcclane2276]

Hello to you. I actually live on the isle of wight in Sandown and i used to have to catch thos train every morning. There is only 2-3 trains running at a time, and can only pass each other at st. Johns station and Sandown station. The journey takes 20-25 minutes in total. But the journey is so rough on your backside, lol. This year 2021 they are getting new trains for the island, but its still 30 year old rolling stock from the london under ground. I believe they are relaying the entire track as the line closed a few days ago (jan 2021) and will reopen in march 2021. If you want to ask amything please feel free.

[@brettjallen81]

Hi Blu, I live about 2-3 hours away from the Isle of Wight, have visited multiple times as a child (25-30 years ago) and in recent years I've made a few one off day trips. Where you started your journey is the "Fastcat" catamaran terminal. At 5.50 you go past the hovercraft terminal which is unique way to get across to the Island. It's a very peaceful place to explore with my favourite place there being "The Needles". The entire area around the IOW is steeped in history from Henry VIII's Mary Rose sinking, World War 2 fortifications and naval port of Portsmouth which is where the new aircraft carriers are based.

[@IOWPCV]

Cool video ! I actually live in the isle of wight the trains pass by our apartment. Good narration by you too 😎

[@BluGames]

Thanks alot. And very cool home you got here

[@IOWPCV]

@@BluGames Yeah it's ok you know, the beaches are nice you will like it when you visit. I was pretty shocked to see the trains here when we first moved here as these trains were the very trains I travelled on in London on the northern line back in the 70's & 80's ...and here they were when we arrived all these years later. They have just been taken out of service to be replaced with refurbished stock district line trains from the 80's.

[@kiembeni]

I know of this island because there were some great music festivals in the 1968 to 1970 I think. Very well known artists: Fairport Convention, Edgar Broughton Band, Jethro Tull, The Who and so on - the best groups and artists at that time.

[@namugriff]

The old livery for the trains. The last livery was a red coach with a grey roof The tracks in the middle are for the old tram way that ran between the two stations

[@BluGames]

Cool thanks!!

Also the Isle of Wight hosts one of the most Iconic music festivals in the world and it’s the second to last festival that Jimi Hendrix performed at before he passed away !

Man always have loved the variety of content on your channel. Looks like a sweet route; nice video as always 👍

[@andrewclark8630]

Actually the Smallbrook junction station is only there to connect to the steam train. There was a whole network of lines on the island and now there is only that one and the 5.5 mile steam train line - the others have been dismantled or turned into cycle tracks. You are right, the trains, built between 1938-1940, really do break down often but I'm pretty sure they have a more macho sounding horn than that as far as I remember:)

[@BluGames]

haha thanks!

[@fightersweep]

@@BluGames For 1938 tube stock, the horn in the game is pretty close.

[@TheMattlockyer]

Its funny that in the age of steam there was never a station at Smallbrook, just a small signal not and as the name suggests a junction. it was for the route between Ryde Pier Head and Cowes. I don't think the platform was built until the 90's. This line also closed in 1966.

[@transportationuk7656]

@Blu Games The train runs on 3rd Rail Electric. Those motors you can hear are traction motors. When these trains were running on the London Underground they ran on 4th Rail.

[@BluGames]

O ok i see thanks

[@durgemeister]

Only 3 more weeks left of the trains, then the Line shuts down for 3 months for improvements ready for the new stock.

[@TheMattlockyer]

Im not dissing your comment, just sad to see the old trains go. Many mixed feelings as they probably do need replacing.

[@durgemeister]

@@TheMattlockyer oh no, don't get me wrong, used them for a year to commute, and since, loved them.

[@TheMattlockyer]

@@durgemeister that’s ok. Your comment wasn’t an opinion but factual. I only disliked it because I don’t like the reality. I’ve now liked it to show there’s no hard feeling.

[@splitter7376]

Oh also there actually is a steam railway here too which is more operational as a novelty tourist attraction than for travelling purposes and is the only other train line we have here other than the Ryde Pier to Shanklin line that is featured in the game.

[@shaneycook2839]

Correction shankling is the station furthest south on this route however Niton is further south and is right at the bottom of the isle of wight

[@BluGames]

thanks

[@TheMattlockyer]

@@BluGames This line continued to Ventnor until 1966 when they terminate the line at Shanklin. Up until then there were two platforms at Shanklin station. My Grandfather worked on this route from 1934. He was initially a ganger and used to walk from Shanklin to Ventnor station each morning, checking for obstructions. He then worked at Wroxall and then Ventnor stations and finally at Ryde St Johns until his retirement in 1977. He had lots of stories of his time on the railway. One that sticks to mind he told me on our walks on the by then dismantled track. He'd show me a cave in the embankment behind the overgrowth. During his time in the railway home guard during WWII, he'd been captured by the Paratroop regiment on an exercise. However he escaped and hid on this cave all weekend to evaded recapture.

[@TheMattlockyer]

BTW, your pronunciation of Shanklin was pretty spot on though you could have shortened the Shank part a little more. Its pronounced just like it is in the word shank, meaning small knife.

[@duckington6022]

Just so you know in the future, headlights on trains in the UK aren’t made for the driver to see instead it is for the other drivers to see you :)

[@BluGames]

Thanks good to know!

[@TheMattlockyer]

Its cool they have included the subway between platforms at Sandown. We'd cram through that on the way to school in the morning.

[@JaswantSingh-ym9zo]

You take a train from London to Portsmouth and then take the ferry from there

[@Robslondon]

Really enjoyed this; lovely video :-)

[@BluGames]

Thank you, thanks alot

[@Robslondon]

@@BluGames You’re very welcome

[@johnslyfield5096]

To get to isle of wight: get to London by train or plane (yes train from Paris). Take a train to Southampton I think and then ferry to pier head and then hop on the island line which now uses class 484 (this edition uses 483) the new route configuration is available on tsw2 as well.

[@BluGames]

That would be cool

[@JamesA1984]

Fun facts * The Isle of Wight is only approx. 12 miles from top to bottom. * You can purchase a London to Shanklin through-ticket which includes the hydrofoil (a ferry with skis) from Portsmouth to Ryde Pier Head. * At Smallbrook Junction you can change onto a steam line that heads West across the island. This is the only other line on the island.

[@mercifulzeus01]

Catamaran, not hydrofoil. I believe Red Funnel used to run hydrofoils to Cowes, but the modern RedJets are also catamarans.

[@shaneycook2839]

7:05 it Accturley south of the main land of England Isle of Wight is hours away from London even by train

Love the IOW. It once had a much more extensive railway than it has now........four or five seperate companies at one time I think.

If you wanted to visit the Isle of Wright then yes you would have to go from which ever international airport you're close to to London Heathrow, then the train to London Paddington then on another train to Portsmouth to then get the only passenger hovercraft service in the world over to the isle of wright or you could get the train from London Paddington to Southampton then the ferry from Southampton to East Cowes which is on the Isle of Wright.

[@BluGames]

That sounds like a fun trip

[@Reapersinbound]

@@BluGames It will be but you're either best sleeping on the plane over to the uk or getting a hotel i london for the night before you set off for the isle of wright. But you might want to do it real soon as the old stock is getting either retired or scrapped and the stock is coming into service.

You can buy/download it as a dlc after you get the game

[@Wihtwara]

I’m amazed that the only thing you miss pronounced is the word “Route” looks really good only thing wrong is that the trains are very rusty in a very bad state, and the line itself the whole train shakes and your worried that the whole thing is going to fall apart, hence why at the start of this month the 404’s were discontinued

Lol
