Western Mainlines - First Look Part #1 (Train Simulator 2016)

[@joelstevens2697]

Couple things: Parking brake was on the whole time, you can reach 125 no problem, that's why you were late. You can't put scenarios for this route on Steam Workshop, only for routes made by DTG or by routes that are on the Workshop. If you press '8' you can go free cam where you aren't fixed on the train and can look at the scenery, fly around to wherever you want.

[@ThomasKnowlesIsGreat]

I used to travel from Paddington to Slough everyday for work. This video gave me flashbacks like the ones you see in the movies in regards to Vietnam.

[@realcodechris]

It's great to see a long route. Would love to see London > Manchester or London > Paris etc

[@szymongorczynski7621]

Might have helped if you took the handbrake off...

[@szymongorczynski7621]

@Amir Kasen No one cares

[@liambrady8014]

@@szymongorczynski7621 after 5 years the bots respond to you

[@lonewolfalmighty2203]

You've left the parking brake on!

[@BarneyBarnett]

I know

[@emilypowell1405]

+LoneWolfAlmighty That's what that smell is.

[@kylehill3643]

That's why there was a nasty odor on that ride. It came from the driver's compartment.

[@malkovich2011]

I'm from Reading and can say the detail is spot on. So many recognisable features, including the newly improved aspects to the station.

[@MattHoughton20]

Paul you sound so much like a tour guide when your talking about the scenery haha :D

[@squirrel]

+Matt Houghton Is that a bad thing?

[@MattHoughton20]

+Squirrel No, it's a really good thing. Shows that you can always think of something to say. Great for KZbin especially.

[@katepreston5631]

+Matt Houghton I know it's extremely good

[@jackreevesvlogsandblogs2498]

Paul, the HST is designed to feed power in slowly to stop the wheelspin as the engines are way too powerful. Also fyi, there is a branch line at Hayes and Harlington for Heathrow, one at Maidenhead for Marlow and one at Twyford for Henley on Thames. Hope this helps!

[@tobysummers471]

There is also one for windsor and greenford

[@jackreevesvlogsandblogs2498]

I think you will find that if you look at the great western railway network map, the windsor branch is at Slough and the branch for Greenford is at Ealing Broadway.

[@tobysummers471]

yes iam aware of that. Interestingly only the windsor branch is being electrified as far as i know.

[@jackreevesvlogsandblogs2498]

Probably not even that. First Great Western run an entirely diesel fleet I think. This is better because it doens't cost too much money for the company or network rail. On the other hand, lots of the other railways have now been electrified however they also run diesel locomotives.

[@tobysummers471]

they dont run an entirely diesel fleet anymore. They have begun rolling out the 387s upto hayes and harlington. Recently the wires have gone up further as at west drayton the wires are up. The hsts are going to scotrail and are going to be 5 car sets and most of the turbos are going to the bristol area and are probably replacing the pacers.

[@idrm1988]

Surprised its taken this long for this route to be out considering its importance in this part of the world

[@idrm1988]

+Y_Ddraig_o_Bryste I'm lucky enough to pass Filton Airfeild and the Concorde daily on my way to work. Yes, theres plans to build and museum around the plane but also plans to build houses on the Airfeild itself which is a bit of a shame but thats where the money to build the museum will come from

[@isaacandtomstunts9186]

THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ON THE WHOLE TIME PAUL!

[@jdb1583]

You should definitely get the Armstrong Powerhouse sound packs!

[@nileshgupta349]

uyt

[@LupusAries]

+JDB158 yeah I'm missing the lovely screaming of the Valenta, or the MTU's sound.

[@simeonhill2172]

Same just got it. Not disappointed

[@Xetta_Mode]

When Squirrel plays Simulators, He doesn't just play, He educates. Great vid, Paul!

[@wellardme]

I don't have any simulators but I am addicted to watching your vids))

[@p674mle2]

i travel on this line almost everyday it looks fantastic much better than the original rail works map

[@nickdsnik]

Squirrel, thanks for the video. Very impressed with the modelling of the Paddington to Reading stretch. I have spent most of my life in this area and it looks very good to me.

[@JamesDTapley]

WE HAVE ALL WANTED THIS ROUTE TO BE UPDATED BUT ITS ALSO BEEN EXTENDED TO EXETER WICH IS AMAZING!!

[@rogercrick9813]

The line branching off at Maidenhead goes to Bourne End, where trains reverse to cross the River Thames and on to Marlow.The lines coming in on the left just before Reading are the electrified lines of South West trains to Waterloo. Maidenhead resident.

[@Moss235]

people have waited years for this sort of thing, unbelievably ground breaking!

[@Dkentflyer]

I know i am a bit late to the party with this one, I have been thinking about getting a new route for Train Sim and I am very tempted by this. The detail is amazing and I am sure it will keep me occupied for ages. You did make me smile when you mentioned action man as I had one of those and an Evil Kneveil. I had a scalextric and loved it to bits. Like you said kids these days want to do everything online which is kind of a shame. Awesome video!

[@JamesDTapley]

Ive watched this video before yet I'm watching it again because i love your vids

[@TheSplinter27]

When you create a scenario you can choose which second the train is gonna leave but when you play the scenorio it only shows hours and minutes

[@Eri76]

And the horn goes "PWEEEEE...POOoooowwwhy I even bother?" :D Love tour videos Paul, keep up the good work mate!

[@eddog6666]

this route goes right through north Bristol. and there is an interesting track junction there. it forms a diamond with a cross in it. the diamond shape is so trains can be heading south but can go east. the cross is for straight through

[@littlejimmyparker]

NOTE: Didcot B (the gas power station) is still in operation. It is Didcot A (oil and coal power station) has been decommissioned in 2013 and those cooling towers have been controllably blown up. Whereas the boiler house which was in preparation for demolition had collapsed uncontrollably killing to what has been feared to be 4 people. On the day 23rd of February, there was known to be one dead, and there is still 3 missing inside the 10 story collapsed rubal, (and trust me. I'm local, from Oxford to be exact and go train spotting at Didcot parkway, Which at the beginning of the video you said was where Bristol parkway is, but you were in a rush so your forgiven.

[@ghosthorse77]

Nice to se an updated route. Railworks gave you Paddington to Oxford. Just trains did Bristol to Exeter but the quick drive was not set up properly. However a nice route to have as all their routes.

[@dyfswilliams]

the longest tunnel for train is where i live at in North Wales. it is 3 miles long and it goes through an old slate quarry mountain, which is in Blaenau Ffestiniog

[@1960imp]

Just bought this DLC, and it's amazing. Lots to explore.

[@andresjimenez8947]

Reading is modelled soon well! (I live in Reading)

[@CardiffDrumAndBass]

The first 15 minutes of this is basically my daily commute. I can confirm that the scenery and stations are very accurate. You can even see the old-style Hanwell station too. It's the one before Southall. You were wrong about where Heathrow is though, it's after Hayes & Harlington, but not on this route. This route takes you past West Drayton just before you leave the M25, and then onto Slough etc. The rails to the right of you is the commuter route which have the slower trains as well as the Heathrow Connect. The Heathrow Express does share the rails you were using though.

[@thejoepetty1]

I live in Maidenhead! :) Modelling of the station and area was spot on!

[@NextSound170]

Cannot wait to get this addon! Jeez been waiting for a full GWR for Rail sim since Rail Simulator

[@cromwellthesynth]

The scale of the map on this dlc really gives me hope for some massive maps in future. Maybe one day we'll get all the connections for the WCML. Can start with Trent Valley at Rugby heading all the way up to Glasgow. Only fresh piece of track they'd have to make would be a connection between Stafford to Warrington (so you could link in the Manchester to Liverpool route) and then from Warrington to Preston and voila

[@dominicwalker1999]

Would be nice if they add Newton Abbot to Plymouth route so then you could do a Paddington to Plymouth service. I live near Plymouth and travelled from there to London several times :)

[@ghosthorse77]

Be nice to see them do the line from Reading to Taunton all joined together so you can do Paddington to Exeter St Davids. Yes it would be nice to another route from Exeter St Davids to Plymouth or Turo?

[@galactic_nerd-sk4747]

Thanks to Just Trains now you can!

[@xElitexSkillZzx]

I live on this route and I know all the stations as I use them all of the time. There is a Lamborghini shop by one of the stations between Reading & Didcot called Pangbourne

[@CyclicPilot]

I'm very tempted to buy this route! As GWR is my local line I've played a lot of scenarios on the default Paddington - Oxford route, but this update covering the whole route with updated graphics and way more flexibility for scenarios looks amazing :)

[@pigeongaming8160]

thank you Paul so much I live in bath spa and go London so I was able to compare the stations. keep up the good work also love your streams

[@mckenziekhan6867]

I love the intercity 125. It is/was a brilliant DMU and one of britains best HST's

[@starlight122012]

A shame it doesn't haven't all the way down to Plymouth, awesome track and scenary there.

[@AymanTravelTransport]

There are extension DLC for it to go down there and even Penzance

[@woodie2862]

I love playing with my model railway. I'm in the process of building it right now.

[@epicfelix42]

Smashing vid paul as usual, what a nice looking scenario!

[@oliverlane97]

Yessss thanks +squirrel for the 53 min vid.I will definitely enjoy it !

[@Cantu2001]

I have done this Scenario so many times, non stop from Oxford to Paddington.

[@stratshadow]

Great to see my local station Chippenham in this route!....must get this, thanks for the nice review...

[@1960imp]

Platforms 4, 5 and 6 at Reading are for trains from Waterloo via Richmond, Twickenham, Staines, etc.

[@jonathanholmes6520]

and the blackwater,Guilford Redhill and Gatwick airport line from Wokingham. platforms 1,2 and 3 are are for reading West Basingstoke and Newbury lines

[@finleyrood9933]

The tracks on the left are the platforms for south west trains as they have a line form Waterloo to Reading use the class 458/5 3rd rail hype

[@Kwwwwl]

great video as always Paul!!

[@starlight122012]

Sorry Squirrel, but Box tunnel is not the longest tunnel, the longest tunnel is the Severn Tunnel that runs under the River Severn going to Cardiff, it is over 4 and half miles long. Box is short and the other tunnel is the one that is the other long tunnel is the Old Sodbury tunnel that goes towards Bristol Parkway and then onto Cardiff. Travelled on these routes many times

[@Coleh90]

Thanks Squirrel, I asked for this a few weeks ago and thanks for making the video. :)

[@Anarkistic_]

It's awesome that they've modelled the newly rebuilt Reading station in there, a shame they didn't manage to rebrand the trains to GWR though.

[@antifugazi]

Can I just add Rolls Royce jet engines were made in Bristol, Banksy, Damien Hirst, Carey Grant and Blackbeard the pirate are from here, Daniel Day Lewis and Peter O Toole studied here, Drum And Bass was created here (and London), Trip Hop started here... I could go on.

[@vololibero8330]

The "branch" line on the left coming into Reading is from Waterloo.

[@imarobotking]

lived in West Drayton and Hayes. when you passed there on the line they have modeled it well. recognize it .

[@skyrider828]

@Jacob Woods the branch line from Maidenhead goes only to Bourne End and Marlow. No connection to High Wycombe and beyond for 40+ years!

[@samcottle802]

This dlc is so cool! I live in Weston super mare and often take this very journey.

[@pauldorset1081]

[@DominicLondon]

OMG, I did this journey the other day. Though, it was recently re-rebranded as Great Western Railway.

[@countertony]

There was a long-running urban myth that there's a bricked-in siding inside Box Tunnel that houses lots of mothballed steam engines, so that in the event of nuclear war they could be used in place of now-inoperable (due to EMP) diesel and electric locos. Sadly rather unlikely for a number of reasons, but it's a lovely fantasy. (See Wikipedia's article "Strategic steam reserve".)

[@liquidkameleon]

Now that you mention Cities Skylines and Railroad Tycoon, check out the game called Train Fever, you might like it. It doesn't have any AI companies to compete against, but the cities are dynamic and agent-based and there's a lot of micromanagement involved when building the tracks and stations, it's got a lot of historic and modern trains as you progress through the time. It's also very challenging to keep the lines profitable.

[@Skeletonarcher1]

Where you thought Didcot is was great, it's at where the Oxford line branches of. Otherwise a really nice video

[@STFCSmith2]

Nice to see a dlc that does the famous West Country route. Love my home county on a game

[@Freemanator01]

Paul, just to let you know that the distance to the next station is next to the ETA in the bottom left!

[@sammckinlay4821]

Paul, I don't care if it's at 5am. It's still awesome cause ur there

[@SGTGhost]

what was that on 26:28 it's seconds before that or after what I'm talking about is that little green screen on top of the screen.

[@gameswithamy6711]

Bristol Temple Meads... I live two minutes it from there :D... Am going to enjoy this one

[@alistairwall5470]

Filton Abbey Wood is near an MoD building called Abbey Wood

[@Malidictus]

So what do you actually do in this game? Because for the most part, it looked like you had your hands off the controls talking about the UK.

[@bearded_toad]

Malidictus it's just like flight simulator - you start, check that everything is in order, and then you just do something else for an hour or so. But there are some difficult scenarios, with a lot of signalling, where you need to be constantly at the controls. P.S. Oh wow, it's a year old video, didn't notice

[@Malidictus]

Thanks to the wonders of KZbin notifications, I still saw your comment! Thanks for the explanation anyway :)

[@adamsanders8028]

Just Trains Newcastle to Edinburgh is gorgeous too!

[@jamestaylor3066]

Elope the video and enjoyed the JT Western mainline stream Keep on with the amazing content JTAirbus

[@MrJudo21]

The M4 runs all the way to South Wales

[@TheSofus1986]

Transport tycoon was sooo good! Any game remote like that today? Grest vid btw 👍👍😎

[@lewisince3609]

In Australia there is a high speed train called the xpt and 1 of the services is 14 to 16 hours long so no complaning

[@mrRaj20011]

Maidenhead platform 5a leads to Marlow, 5b goes to London Paddington (from Slough and often tak the train so I know the are very well

[@Mrviccietor]

Your horn sounds like a depressed duck

[@tysonmclean4250]

[@theflyingwelshman14]

The m4 actually runs over the Severn bridge to the end of wales, the m4 is gigantic

[@martynhorton5341]

Did Just trains remodel most of the line as i have the original London to Oxford and lots of what i see in your video seems much better than my version. The buildings you see as you depart London on your vid are way better than the steam route. Looked it up and the price is very good, as you say for the content you get in the pack.....makes me feel short changed on the DTG Steam.

[@NextSound170]

Martyn Horton Yeah they finally took it to it's full length or thereabouts with this addon, I always wondered why we were short changed on the official London to Oxford, an insult really. Thanks to Just Trains for taking up the batton

[@bennygaming123]

Reading is an overcrowded busy sh*t hole. I live there...

[@kylehill3643]

Which is more realistic in controls. This or Underground Simulator series?

[@rlxts]

A lot of Filtion airport was shared with what you could argue is the new modern Airbus that you know today. Some people see Concorde as the beginning of Airbus. Sadly the Runway has started to be dug up and the private flight school that was there moved to Exeter or something like that. Sad as it was such a iconic airfield there is amazing videos of Concorde at Filton and I think I included one in my video about concorde. anyway Great Videos as always Paul!

[@wolfannihilatorlive8786]

I used to work at Airbus down in filton, miss seeing the a380 taking off there too bad it has shut down

[@rlxts]

Yup most Airbuses had their test flight at Filton
