Train Simulator Classic | The Hope Valley | Westbound Express | Class 185 | TransPennine Express

Hello and welcome to Train Simulator Classic!
In today's video we're going to be driving the Class 185 on the Hope Valley line from Sheffield, over to Manchester Piccadilly. This is based on a real life timetabled TransPennine Express service which runs via Stockport, however for some reason we have a 15 minute wait at Stockport...
It's a great run over the Hope Valley, although it's little bit wet! Luckily there's quite a few tunnels on this route where we can dry off.

Your videos are so fun to watch Joe! This train looks amazing 😊

[@SepiaMN]

This game has got the graphics and gameplay but nothing beats your OMSI vids! What are your favourite mods for OMSI joe?

[@lj671]

Never heard anyone excited to visit Deighton or Mirfield 😂

[@aviationdhuk]

Great vid mate love the 185!

[@Steggs]

Well then, never expected one of my scenarios to end up here, many thanks 😅 - CB All WTTs were replicated from the exact workings of a Sunday, this service did decide to run early to Stockport, apologies for the long pause at SPT!

[@JetDom767]

I miss the 185s in Newcastle they are a rarity these days. Was not the biggest fan of them back in the day but when all we get in Newcastle is 80Xs the 185s were lovely, powerful, capable units

[@pgriffin22]

also 156's do do the huddersfield - Sheffield run as ive ridden on several from shepley

[@jonny-simulation-gamer]

joe the hudersfield line for tcs is northern transpenine modernised and ported over they did it with long island Railroad

[@jamesharper84]

Double track all the way to Redcar Central and beyond to Saltburn. I am sure the TP Express services have started/planned/rumoured to extended to Saltburn. Northern do run an hourly service from Bishop Auckland to Saltburn via Darlington and Middlesbrough, the section between Bishop Auckland and Darlington does have some single track running so we won't be getting any other services or changes to frequency this end of the line. We even have a small section of the Bishop line with semaphore signalling although with the Hitachi building the stretch from Heighington to Darlington now has electronic light signals.

This needs to be brought out on tw3 be happy with that

[@martynpullan2768]

[@pgriffin22]

[@jakecopeland8068]

I hope this route gets added to TSW3 because it would look spectacular with them graphics

[@streetlite26]

11:41 TSW: Am I a joke to you?

[@JoeDobsongaming]

*In modern day* should have been added to that 🤣🤣🤣

[@mattlovett2575]

Where do you buy the class 185 locomotive from

[@jonny-simulation-gamer]

joe the netherfield network dtg did has modelled Nottingham Victoria train station wrong

[@andrewhardman2000]

Isn’t Preston to Ormskirk single track?

[@RealTrainCasey]

[@ThatTrainAndBusGuy]

[@NorthernSystems]
