Train Simulator 2015 - Route Learning: London Victoria to Kent House (Class 465)

[@johnhamlin988]

I did the Football special in the Liverpool Manchester, earlier, with you guidance from other videos, only sped twice!! The idle the throttle is a God send, great Video as allways!

[@PTGRail]

John Hamlin Awesome! I'm glad that my video helped you learn the route :) I think driving without the HUD is a whole new experience.. it can really transform the game :)

[@johnhamlin988]

PTGRail On that, any tips for spotting the gradient signs? Comming from Deansgate Man Pic, is downhill!! Also youmention these all the time, what the heck is mporth (I think board) what does it look like. The spelling would be cool, too!

[@PTGRail]

John Hamlin Haha! No, I don't look out for gradient signs. When learning the route, I just learn where the gradients are. Sometimes you can clearly see then the track goes up or down, other times it's not so clear. And a Morpeth board is the inverted triangular board with a yellow border on it - it's an advanced warning used for some speed limits :)

[@TheWestAnglian]

I really love your content peter, I always enjoy your commentaries, information and general attitude towards your videos, good job and keep it like that!

[@PTGRail]

Kirkinstein Thanks! :) I'm just about to start work on another video.

[@TheWestAnglian]

PTGRail remember, dont put yourself under too much pressure with youtube, do youtube as you desire!

[@PTGRail]

Kirkinstein Thanks, I've been trying not to. That's why there's been less videos recently, I don't want to rush anything :)

[@ARDEN440i]

It amazes me how similar Penge East station is the real life. It's 95% correct!

[@PTGRail]

+MOPAR Or No Car / ABRAMS Or No Tank Awesome! I've not been there before, but I know with other stations on this route they've done a really good job :)

[@ARDEN440i]

PTGRail​ Yes it's pretty much spot on. I go to Penge East station on Monday Wednesday and Friday and it's incredibly similar. Thanks for the video too btw. Subscribed.

[@PTGRail]

Awesome! Thanks for the info and thanks for your comment. Much appreciated! :)

[@DieyoungDiefast]

+PTGRail I think I saw where your problem with Penge East was, there were two 2 Car stop signs, the 2nd being just short of the overbridge near the annunciators.

[@fozcast8015]

Loved this video! Didn't even know it was possible on the SLL which added to the mysterious and excitment/enjoyment to it! Good vid man! ☺

[@PTGRail]

Fozcast Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@QwertyAfro]

smashing video as always peter :)

[@robertofraser101]

yea I agree qwerty good video 🐰🐰

[@PTGRail]

Qwerty Afro Thanks Qwerty! I know this is your favourite add on so thought this video would interest you :)

[@sarahturner7588]

very right qwerty afro you and peter should do some videos together as your videos are really good

[@johnhamlin988]

sarah turner Yeah, that would be cool, if they could do some together!

[@destructivegaming3292]

Do a collaboration

[@snapey93]

Great Video as always i enjoyed the inclusion of AI passing n oncoming on cut scenes while waiting to set off again i know it cant be done every time but found it a nice feature!

[@PTGRail]

VG-Snapey93 Thanks! The timetable fitted the stops well so I had chance to get the moving AI in the cut scenes. I wish it worked like that all the time! Lol :)

[@snapey93]

haha yes if only!

[@RandomPerson00998]

I'm surprised you're not selling the video on to Southeastern - it's amazing!

[@PTGRail]

TAA - Lifts and More Haha thanks! :)

[@thespeedgamer9285]

I'm learning so much from these videos! I love it!

[@PTGRail]

Thespeedgamer Awesome, thank you! I'm glad you like these videos :)

[@kylestravels611]

been on a 465 from London Victoria to Swanley while in London ;)

[@tonylancaster8704]

Loved this video as always Keep up the great work

[@PTGRail]

Tony Lancaster Thank you! :)

[@willsalmon6115]

Great video, love 465s and 375s. I miss the Brush motors though :(

[@Moleman978]

Fantastic video! The class 465's are my favourite :)

[@PTGRail]

Moleman978 Thank you, Moleman! :) I love the sound that the Networkers make, and I generally prefer the 3rd rail units. Not quite such a fan of the newer motors on them though.

[@Moleman978]

Yeah when the Brush Motors went it was a sad day, now the BREL 465's sound like slow class 395's :/

[@Moleman978]

***** That isn't true, all Class 465s built by ABB/BREL now have hitachi motors, I go on them often enough to confirm this, the Metro Cammell built ones still have their old motors luckily.

[@Moleman978]

I also get them to work daily, and they never have the old brush motors, there are 97 BREL/ABB Class 465s and all of them have Hitachi motors since 2009/2010.

[@Moleman978]

Be my guest and film one the next time you see one, I'll happily accept you're right if you can prove it, but personally I don't think you can.

[@Bullmannumber4]

Great choice of route. A shame you can't go any further with the run. According to Track atlas the depot out of Victoria is officially known as Grovsenor Carriage shed :-)

[@PTGRail]

William Mankelow Awesome, I will remember that name! Yes I wish you could drive all the way to Orpington with it, that would make the route more interesting in my opinion! :)

[@gonzyeahgonzo1543]

I also have a TRACKatlas.

[@dylanstewart7265]

Nice as always

[@nyrax8933]

Yeay! New video Can't wait to see it :D

[@nigelbryant4747]

You must stop at the S car monitors, because that is where the monitors are positioned, you can NOT stop anywhere you like ,Sydenham Hill , Penge East and Kent House all have S car monitors on the down Chatham main

[@PTGRail]

nigel bryant At Sydenham Hill, I stopped in the correct place. At Penge East, I chose that stopping point as I thought DTG had missed out a 4-car sign; they often do. The platform layout made where I stopped the most logical place that it would be in real life to me. At Kent House, I stopped at the '4'/'6' car stop sign which is the correct place.

[@Fookracists]

great video mate. keep it up.

[@PTGRail]

+imran khan Thank you :)

[@kylestravels611]

Also awesome video once again

[@PTGRail]

+Class318256 Thank you! :)

[@simonmd2000]

You're forgiven for slipping up at Sydenham Hill, i'm just delighted to see it featured! This was my home station when I was growing up and I traveled this route countless times, mainly on the old Class 415 (4EPB) stock. My only comment would be that I think you got the starting platforms mixed up at Victoria, the stopping services always went from 1-4 and the fast 'boat trains' would have departed from around platform 8. Will you upload this to Steam? Id love to run it with the AI you used.

[@PTGRail]

simonmd2000 Haha thanks! I'm just old enough to remember travelling on the slammers quite frequently in the south east when I was a teenager. Though for me it was Class 421s and 423s. I followed the real timetable for the platform I departed from, I think is is often platform 7 or 8 for the Orpington services. I hadn't thought about it but will consider uploading this scenario to Steam. Thanks for your comment :)

[@simonmd2000]

PTGRail They may have changed it of course, I haven't used that line myself for maybe 10 years now but it always used to be the first couple of platforms. Please do upload the scenario though and thanks again for your vid's in general, such a nice change to get some facts instead of some of these 'lets play channels'!

[@PTGRail]

simonmd2000 I will see what I can do. Most of my South London Network scenarios end up on Workshop eventually :)

[@PTGRail]

simonmd2000 And thanks, just read the second part of your comment again. That's the whole idea for this channel - to be used to help others learn more about railways, trains and handling trains within the simulator. Facts over waffle where possible. Though I think there are a couple of videos I waffle just a little in lol.. especially when there's a long stretch of track at the same speed limit with nothing much to do! Lol

[@jdb1583]

Amazing!!

[@PTGRail]

JDB158 Thanks! xD

[@jdb1583]

PTGRail xD

[@jurgens710]

Thanks to your video, I'll soon know London better than Moscow! )))))))))))))))) Had already begun to guess the next stop! ))))))))))))

[@PTGRail]

Юрий Неделяев Haha thank you.. and awesome! So you're learning the railways around London? Lol :p

[@jurgens710]

PTGRail I bought a train simulator 2015 and I liked British train.But I sometimes forget that in England drive on the left and in the habit of frequently follow the instructions of traffic lights on the right side! )))))))))))))))

[@PTGRail]

Юрий Неделяев Haha, that's funny! Yes we drive on the left. For some odd reason they drive on the left in France too, but they drive on the right for their cars. Which British routes do you like the most? :)

[@jurgens710]

PTGRail I have only route London to Peterborough.This route has been in the game for buying.I liked it very much.I think to buy more British routes, but I fear that they will works bad.For some reason, the game crashes on some routes

[@gachimuchienjoyer]

Юрий Неделяев пекарню новую покупай. Игруха очень требовательная.

[@awesomebusesandtrainshelps5831]

I used to take 465s from Ashford international to Victoria but they don't go to Ashford international anymore :(

[@AllAmericanRailfan]

Could you make a video on how you create your custom scenarios? Would very much appreciate that.

[@PTGRail]

SacrificialSoul7 I've had several people request that now, so I will see what I can do! :)

[@TheBVE]

And another question. As this scenario is set in the present day, how come there are no blue stripe 465's and 375's? Great video though.

[@PTGRail]

TSguy0100 I think that's just me not getting the liveries quite right lol :p And thanks :)

[@still_guns]

Will you be doing the Gatwick Express with the skinned Class 444, or will you wait for the 442 to be implemented into the game?

[@PTGRail]

BMWM3GTRLOVER I'm going to wait until we have a Class 442. I'm not a fan of the 444 in Gatwick Express livery.

[@still_guns]

OK not a problem

[@Epic_DaVinci]

I miss loco hauled rolling stock. The EMU and DMU's just don't have much character in my opinion.

[@PTGRail]

Daniel Gregory I agree with you, I don't think units have as much character as loco hauled stock with slam door coaches. I think the railways were much more interesting when I was a kid than they are now!

[@SpeedSetSims]

On the 465 sound pack I can't hear the compressor

[@leeswain8417]

Awesome

[@PTGRail]

king of the british life Thank you :)

[@leeswain8417]

I love the routes

[@leeswain8417]

I love the trains facts u must be a smart person

[@awesomebusesandtrainshelps5831]

Buses and trains

[@kentthrashlover6756]

Is the the sound of the class 465 default train simulator sounds, or is it Armstrong power house sound pack?

[@PTGRail]

+Brad Rail This is with the Armstrong Powerhouse sound pack :)

[@nigelbryant4747]

Penge tunnel 1 mile 375 yards

[@PTGRail]

nigel bryant Thanks :)

[@nigelbryant4747]

Why the starting bell? there are NO guards on this service. Metro, not mainline. Great vid though

[@PTGRail]

nigel bryant I know there's no guards there in real life, but unfortunately I can't turn the starting bell off. And thanks :)

[@sammaclennan1875]

may i ask what computer you have? and any stats would be appreciated. carry on with the amazing route learning vids and one last thing if there is a oxenholme to windermere route (WCML/lakes line) please may you have a go at it - sam

[@stephenconsidine8460]

sc

[@BMF-NJ]

What's the name of this scenario and if it's available on the workshop for steam

[@PTGRail]

BMW M FAN NJ I created this scenario myself and it's not presently available on Steam Workshop.

[@BMF-NJ]

Ok can't you upload the Scenario please. because I really like it very much, you did a good job,

[@MunroMcs98]

Do you use the Armstrong Powerhouse sound pack.

[@RandomPerson00998]

Munro Mcskimming He does. He said so near the end of the video.(it's really good - I highly recommend it)

[@PTGRail]

Munro Mcskimming I do indeed :)

[@TheBVE]

Where do you get the headcodes from? Do you make them up, or do you know the route number and stuff?

[@PTGRail]

TSguy0100 I get them from the realtimetrains website which lists the headcodes of most timetabled trains :)

[@jurgens710]

Hello!How many amperes is acceptable to raise the current at a set rate?

[@PTGRail]

Юрий Неделяев Sorry I've only just seen this comment. I think that varies from train to train :)

[@jurgens710]

PTGRail For electric locomotive direct current

[@GeorgeRMcFarlane]

Where did u get the class 320 bud

[@PTGRail]

+George McFarlane It comes with the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 321 pack available from www.armstrongpowerhouse.com :)

[@thegamingguy6207]

Does anyone know how to turn off the DSD on this train?

[@PTGRail]

+TheGamingGuy I believe it's CTRL + Numpad Enter.

[@milkandduckrailway323]

Channel tunnel rail link?

[@jackcooper4862]

mate I'm a southeastern London Victoria driver, most of this is wrong

[@PTGRail]

The route or my driving technique? Lol :p

[@davidwright7388]

My station is the one after Kent house 😡😡😡

[@PTGRail]

+David Wright I think someone is slowly working on some free extensions to this route, so your station might just feature yet :)

[@davidwright7388]

+PTGRail thank god because when I first saw the expansion i was excited to see my station but it isn't there

[@benisted6829]

hi

[@PTGRail]

Jebraan Yacub I know, I like being a geek XD

[@andywaynebrooks]

Who actually watches these videos?

[@PTGRail]

A fair question I guess, as lots of people don't 'get' it. I've always known these videos are very much a niche within a niche. People who like trains, want to learn more about them, and want to get the most out of Train Simulator are the main audience.
