Release date: 17/09/2020Experience the pinnacle of high-speed travel in the UK and bustling commuter services with WCML South: London Euston - Birmingham in Train Simulator!
The West Coast Main Line as it is today was not initially intended as a single line stretching from London to Glasgow, it was instead many smaller, individual lines that gradually linked up from the 1830s to the 1880s.
The London and Birmingham Railway opened its section in 1838, making it the first inter-city line to be built in London, it started from the city’s Euston station and made the 113-mile trip to Birmingham Curzon Street, calling at the likes of Rugby and Coventry en route.
Over the decades, more and more stations popped up along the route, and services switched to Birmingham New Street. In the south, additional lines were built to Watford to increase commuter capacity, these lines now form part of the London Overground network. The main line itself has seen many changes, but none are quite as striking as the introduction of the Class 390 Pendolino, which tilts its way up to 125 mph and now adorns the bold Avanti West Coast livery.
Take to the tracks of one of the most important railway corridors in the UK, and operate a mix of express, stopper, commuter, and freight services with Train Simulator’s WCML South: London Euston – Birmingham route!
