Train Sim World 5 is back with another expansion pack, this time aimed at UK train fans, adding in the longest route in the United Kingdom. Measuring in at approximately 100 miles long, the West Coast Main Line: Preston – Carlisle extends through England’s northwest countryside circa 1986.
Between Preston and Carlisle, you’ll be able to ride through Lancaster and the coastal Morecambe Branch Line while on the West Coast Main Line, featuring plenty of rural scenery, including the Shap Summit, which comes in at 279m above sea level. You’ll also come across landmark buildings at Lancaster, Carlisle, and Preston Station, which have been fully recreated as per their condition in the late 1980s, as is the M6 Motorway and the retro traffic seen driving along it, such as at Tebay.
