Train Simulator: South Wales Coastal Route Add-On Full Crack [portable Edition]

About This Content

Directly connecting England and Wales, running underneath the longest river in the United Kingdom, the South Wales Main Line is one of the most important cross border routes in the country, as featured in the beautiful new South Wales Coastal route for Train Simulator.

The South Wales Main Line branches off from the Great Western Main Line to allow a direct connection between London and the South of Wales. The line was opened in two stages - the first exclusively in Wales, running from Swansea to Chepstow in 1850; the second section was in England, branching off from Royal Wootton Bassett towards Patchway in 1903.

Crossing the River Severn was always an engineering challenge, with trains initially heading north from Swindon to traverse into Wales, joining the South Wales Main Line at Chepstow. Construction of the four-mile Severn Tunnel began in 1873, and by 1886 it became the fastest route between the two countries, making the ‘Great Way Round’ only a backup way of crossing the Severn, for example when the tunnel was closed.

With the Welsh coal mines running at their peak, the line became an important trunk for freight traffic, which is still the case today. Connection to various docks on both sides of the Severn meant there were always heavy coal trains running to Portishead Docks from around the south of Wales. The SWML is also credited with a major role in the expansion of Fishguard Docks, the Great Western Railway’s main connection to the USA.

Today, the line is operated by Arriva Trains Wales and also sees First Great Western services originating from London Paddington into Cardiff, and beyond. Freight remains a key part of the route, be it imported coal or steel works movements. The line is also one of the last major inter-city routes in Great Britain to remain un-electrified, although there are plans to electrify the line by 2018 to allow the new Hitachi Super Express Electro-Diesel and Electric Multiple Units (Class 800 and 801) to replace ageing HST units on London to Cardiff services.

The South Wales Coastal – Bristol to Cardiff route for Train Simulator recreates the 39 mile section of main line from Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway to Cardiff Central, via the Severn Tunnel. Also included are a number of locomotives and freight wagons to replicate services on the line as seen today, including the Arriva Trains Wales Class 175 ‘Coradia’ DMU, Freightliner Class 70 and Great Western Railways Class 43 HST.

Routes that are about 40 miles in length are either done well, or they're done badly. Fortunately, this one has been done well, and I do reccomend it.

First of all, the length- It's just over 40 miles in length. If you're looking for a long run, this isn't it, but it's not what you'd call short either. Therefore, it's a little more bearable if you're a person looking to build your own sessions, in comparison to some of the routes which are exceptionally long, which are great to drive along but can be a pain to edit sessions on. However, the inclusion of the Severn Tunnel crossing is both good and bad. Yes there have been long tunnels on routes before; look at the Settle and Carlisle railway, but it feels like you're spending a lot of time under the Severn, and maybe brings into question whether they could have made the route a little longer. I wouldn't say the inclusion of it a bad thing; in fact I think I it was worthwhile, it just feels a little forced, and that you lose a decent amount of scenery because of it.

The facilities- There are plenty of sidings at specific locations, meaning plenty of scope for shunting round large trains of modern freight rolling stock. There are a good number of stations, and there are a decent number of stubs for other lines.

The locos and rolling stock- There is a decent number of rolling stock you get here. Most importantly is the Class 175 DMU, which is exclusive to this route. The 175 is great being a relatively fast DMU that can do stopping services or semi-fast services. The sounds are alright; it's not the main draw of the 175, but at least they aren't butchered. Then there is the Class 70 (Already a standalone DLC item I believe), which has an excellent amount of power for towing the heavyweight modern freight rolling stock that come with this route. If you don't yet have the Class 70, get it with this route rather than getting the standalone. Then obviously is the GWR Class 43 HST. The new livery looks stunning, and there is some updates to the sounds. The only problem is with the GWR HST is the fact I believe they were aiming for a two-tone horn using the space bar and B key, and only one tone is functional.

But as an added bonus, I'll talk about the Arriva Train Wales DMUs addon here. If you buy this route, get it with this addon, it's not much more than just the route, and it comes with a pair of solid DMUs that add massively to this route. Both have got simplified throttle appearance, showing the stage rather than the actual throttle amount, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, and they have both got separate buttons for both tones of the horn, as well as operational Driver to Guard buzzer on the C key. The main thing is, don't buy it separate to the route, get it as part of the twin pack.

Overall, 8\/10 for the standalone route, 8.5\/10 if you get the twin pack. It's only \u00a32 more and you get to bolster the amount of liveries you have for the 158.. HIGHLY IMPRESSED, well DTG you have finally done it, you have finally done something i thought you would do and that is impress me.

This route is TOP NOTCH the level of detail and care gone into it is sublime, cardiff central looks perfect including platform 8 actually being completed when its not even completed in real life until december :P.

only gripe cardiff canton looks od compared to the real deal.

plenty of content from the included 70, hst and 175 and for an extra \u00a32 the 143 and 158 make happy additions for senarios included are 8 careers and 4 extra with the dmu pack so 12 in total so win win :D. Bought it in the Pioneers edition bundle. However, it never appears in the career scenarios ingame. Too bad Dovetale Games.. Very nice route and great loco selection, detailing is excellent too.
Routes are a little short and I would not really class it as southwales, since when has Bristol been in Wales? 95% focuses on Bristol. it should have actually focused on South Wales.

NOW FOR THE BIG BUTS.....

It is full of serious bugs, here is what i have come accross so far :-

Routes not completable as you get stuck at reds lights forever especially around Newport.
Speed limits are missing from the hub or set incorrectly (says 20 on hub when it really is 15 or hub says 40 and it really is 20) thus you end up speeding.
You cannot move off from a station platform (happens when driving class158 or 175) as there is already another train on same track sat on the same platform ahead and never moves.
Game freezes on routes regardless of settings or locos used.
When you do manage to get to the end of a route and stop, you wait for the congrats but all you get is an ERROR, your consist has derailed..... even though you are sat at a platform :\/

I do recommend it because its brilliant but at the same time do not recomemed, I advise people refrain from purchasing until the bad bugs are fixed, because of this I have to select NO until they fix the bugs.
I will re-review when they are all fixed.. DO NOT Buy for more than 50p - \u00a31.50 you get 30 miles of Welsh mainline track. you cannot play it in free roam. all you get is Cardiff Central Station - Newport - the River Severn. there is next to nothing Coastal about this Addon. and extremely little in the way of South Wales come to that!!

please head my advice, there is no train track to Barry, Pencoed, Bridgend, Port Talbot. Swansea, Mumbles, Maesteg. or any other valley inbetween.

what you do get is dismal, ripped off at more than \u00a31.50, Career only Play. and very few missions at that.

My Advice is to avoid this like the Plague unless newer reviews state that the developer has actually created more content than this.

. EDIT: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS! IT ONLY GIVES YOU TO CARIDFF AND NOT SWANSEA. PURCHASE THE FULL ONE AT \u00a324.99 AND YOU WILL GET MORE FOR ONLY \u00a310 EXTRA.
I close my case. This addon is high quality and detailed, I can give evidence of this due to me travelling down this line alot. The 175 brakes are pathetic buit overall a great pack. Like others I was expecting other lines to the west of wales like the Vale of Glamorgan. The Valley line and the maesteg and camarthen branch lines. But overall a good pack I havent tested the 158 and 143 yet but the ratings seem good.
