Train Simulator: North London Line Route Add-On Activation Code [key]

Updated: Mar 30, 2020





















































About This Content One of the busiest commuter routes through the UK’s capital city is stunningly recreated for Train Simulator in this new route add-on.The North London Line spans approximately 17 miles between Richmond and Stratford, and is today part of the London Overground network. The line is a heavy commuter route with trains every 15 minutes, and also a key corridor for freight traffic, connecting the inner suburbs north of London. Despite the line’s short length, the route is almost entirely dense inter-urban railway, with trains taking more than one hour to traverse the route when calling at all 23 stations.Built over a total of 25 years in five connecting sections, the first portion of the line was opened as the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway in 1846 between Stratford and North Woolwich, with the last portion opening in 1869 between South Acton and Richmond by the London & South Western Railway.The 1980s started to see closures across the line, the most notable being the closure of Broad Street station, a once major terminus for the City of London that became a dwindling station with very few passengers. Other notable closures on the line included the Tottenham Hale to Stratford link, and more recently the section between Stratford and North Woolwich in 2006. Where that track once stood is now used by the Docklands Light Railway and will also become part of the Crossrail branch to Abbey Wood in 2018.The line is electrified mostly with 25kV AC overhead catenary between Stratford and Acton Central, made so that dual voltage Class 313s could use the line and also open it up to electric freight locomotives. The section between Acton Central and Richmond sees third rail power, and between Gunnersbury and Richmond there is also a fourth rail as the London Overground and District Line shares this stretch of the network.Today the line is populated by Class 378/2 ‘Capitalstars’ forming the London Overground services, D78 Tube Stock for District Line services between Richmond and Gunnersbury, and Class 66s, 70s, 90s and 92s hauling freight.The North London Line for Train Simulator recreates the 17 mile route as it operates today between Richmond in the South West of London and Stratford in the North East, with the track curving in a rough semicircle shape to avoid the centre of London. The route includes standard British LED signalling throughout and the modern TfL Class 378 ‘Capitalstar’.ScenariosSeven scenarios for the route:Coming From ClaphamQuattro ServiceLate for Work!Stratford Slurry: Part 1Stratford Slurry: Part 2Early Morning RunCamden ShowersMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

With that fixed, the route is amazing, highly detailed in scenery and lots of speed changes to keep you going (there is even a power change!). The route may seem expensive, yes it's 17 miles and yes you only get 1 train. However, I feel a lot has gone into this route and therefore it is worth the money if this is your kind of route, The scenarios included aren't really exciting, very few AI trains and the usual stopping passenger services. Fortunately, this should be replaced by workshop scenarios, where I have already seen some great ones. Overall, I would highly recommend this route to those interested. There are lots of stations to call at and the route is going right into the heart of London, so for those who like to go fast, don't be surprised if you can't!. I feel there could have been alot more work put into the route, Maybe a bit more detailing or the sounds on the Class 378 could have be changed to something more than copied 377 sounds! But yes. I would recommened the route it is linear though and once you have driven both ways once or twice it gets a bit boring! There is not really room for scenario creators as the only scenarios you can make is Richmond to Stratford. There is also not alot to do apart from open doors, speed up to 45mph max before slowing down 10 seconds later for the next stop!. Personally I don't think that the route is worth \u00a324.99 based on the fact it's only 17 miles long, however on the basis of the detail that has gone into this route then I would certainly say it's worth every penny. The stations you stop at are detailed perfectly right down to the little fine points. Overall I would give this route a 9 out of 10.. Can anyone help me? I bought the North London line and Gospel Oak add on but i have no scenarios for the North London line? Why dont i have them. HELP!. I feel there could have been alot more work put into the route, Maybe a bit more detailing or the sounds on the Class 378 could have be changed to something more than copied 377 sounds! But yes.

Speaking of which being broken, that include the physics which they have pretty much destroyed beyond repair following its update. All three braking steps have exactly the same strength applied meaning to get anything stronger would require the emergency stop setting.Back to the point of the first sentence, not only is this route far too linear to provide a decent variety of scenario services, when driven *around Camden Road\/St. Pancras area at my normal settings it, whether I like it or not, generate everyone's favourite Dump File. Don't even bother suggesting me to change any setting because firstly: My specs are easily capable of playing this at max settings, but the Dump file is also made at lower settings at the same points.TLDR: Route is far too linear, very dump file prone, and the 378 is almost completely undriveable.EDIT: *Make that anywhere built up.. Although after getting the route, I ran into a lot of problems with the Class 378, but thanks to the community, I have managed to sort this out easily.

There are lots of stations to call at and the route is going right into the heart of London, so for those who like to go fast, don't be surprised if you can't!. One thing that has always bugged me about the TS franchise is the lack of continuity in routes, through routes are developed piece meal , by different developers and different time spans, The WCML & ECML been a good example. This in mind I think DTG missed a trick here, The NLL as in real life is a important link connection between some of the most important mainlines in London. Theoretically, this route can connect the GWML, WCML, MML, ECML, GEML and the London Brighton Route via Hammersmith to Clapham. The potential as a through route in scenarios is starting to be realised by 3rd parties but has been missed by DTG as quickdrive starting locations. These as usual, just use the route stations not the link cords on the GWML or WCML for example for freight and stock transfer, The GEML is covered as a end point & start point in Stratford by the portal unexplically has been left off the cord to the ECML in the Kings Cross area. These quickdrives locations can be fixed very easily fixed\/updated by DTG, as with anybody who if fairly used to modifying the base game. (Utube search creating Quickdrives)The point is this, It is fairly obvious potential to include what is a very well executed route where people might get quickly bored of stopping a capitalstar at the myriad of well detailed stations on the route either direction. This route should compliment the other DTG stable routes. In general this is a very well developed route and DTG should be complimented in trying to push the base game forward that's weighted down by annoyingly obvious and unaddressed legacy issues. I would recommend this route, I had no issues with the stock, the scenery is well done, ambient audio is improved, the potential lateral boredom of the route should be offset by through route link potential, DTG... update the the quickdrive potential!. Personally I don't think that the route is worth \u00a324.99 based on the fact it's only 17 miles long, however on the basis of the detail that has gone into this route then I would certainly say it's worth every penny. The stations you stop at are detailed perfectly right down to the little fine points. Overall I would give this route a 9 out of 10.
