As a loyal subscriber, I am delighted that you returned and am excited for any other route learning videos and train sim content you have in store for us
Thank you for another entertaining video. I assume that 'driving' the yellows as far as Woking was a train ahead that was going to continue on the Main line to Basingstoke and beyond. Then, it may or may not be 'built' into the scenario for the yellows between Woking and Haslemere but, in real life, there is a stopping train to Portsmouth that leaves Waterloo 15 minutes before this fast service. And, the way the timetable 'works' is that stopping service waits at Haslemere and 'allows' the fast service to pass. But if the stopping service is running late then the yellows will 'happen.'
@PTG Rail, another great video of a route I travelled many times over 42 years from 1975. I spent my teenage years living in a house with a garden which backed onto the line on the up side at Farncombe, around 50:37 in this setting.
Incredible accuracy and detail in the trackside scenery and landscape. Guildford Station looks like exactly what it does in real life. I could see Guildford Cathedral in the background on another Waterloo-Portsmouth simulation video. Just after you pass Milford Station, looking out the window to the left I can see the fishing lake I go to in real life. Out of curiosity, could you simulate, for example, a 50 mph collision into the buffers at Portsmouth Station?
Hello, great video, thank you for adding the description through the screen recording as to exactly what’s what for your visually impaired viewers, is it possible for you to do London Waterloo to Weymouth, either the one stopping at Woking, Winchester, Southampton Airport Parkway EC or if not that one, the one stopping at Clapton Junction, Basingstoke, Winchester, Southampton Airport Parkway ATC? I’d also be interested to see if the 444 divides at Bournemouth like it doesn’t real life on the game.
In real life you failed that brake test miserably 😂 desiros are so sensitive you have to do it the second it beeps or it goes red and fails you. It’s a pain in the arse!
Hi there, I really enjoyed this video. Does the London Waterloo extention to the Portsmouth Direct Line also come with rolling stock (I.E Class 455, 444, 377 ect)?
I think there is two South Western Railway skins that people have made. The full livery and the Ex South West Trains livery with the South Western Railway branding.
Is that a NWR policy then re the speed limits? On LU, like a road, when you hit the speed limit sign for example that says "50" such as on the Met line, this means it is now safe to increase to that speed, if you're going straight over the junction. If the junction requires you to slow down, the signal will have ATP E.G. Baker Street. If you're going to fast, the tripcock will apply the brakes (brought about by the awful Moorgate crash). If you need to cross the junction, you'll have two signs next to each other (or a sign with an arrow underneath it informing you which section of track it refers to) both on their own roundel, again such as at the "Watford Curve" of the Met line where to go left or carry on to Baker Street it reads "20 50" or carry on a bit further where you will only find "60" on the Met line, to cross to the slow line (all station Baker Street/Aldgate) or carry on (fast service Baker Street/Aldgate) again, both on their own roundel "25 60". Unfortunately, it was 70mph in the good ol' days of the "A" stock and it was a sad day when we said goodbye to the last one. I worked on the Met line from 2010-2017 and loved every minute of it.
I know two train drivers who work for Southern. The procedure described in the video is correct and as @gwynedd boom stated, is due to varying train lengths. It's apparently not as difficult as it sounds once you get used to it.
You hit a person while driving? I have a clip of someone hitting a car that insta-popped right in front of him. The quote: "Well, he's fucked". This was on the Kansas City route, I believe.
I googled it, and I'm very surprised to read that this is the way to provide electricity to the train. I had always thought that electrivity was only provided by an overhead catenary cable.
11:56 So if the power is on, the train is accelerating. If the power is cut the train is coasting (slowing). How do you keep a constant 50mph for example? The accelerator in my car is variable, why do trains have notched levels of power?
As an actual driver for SWR I drive this route regularly as am a Fratton driver, notch 2 generally keeps your speed constant unless going down hill in which case you coast, but on a 1papa express you Han actually shut off as you pass liphook and you can coast all the way down to peters field without taking power and the gradient will slow the train for speed changed without having to touch PBC and the same goes for when you get through Buriton Tunnel if you get to top of hill after tunnel at 40mph and shut off you can coast down to Havant without taking power! This route is very nice to actually drive in real life 😎
Another Great Vid. I Used To Live In Norbury And Work In Thornton Heath At The Big Tesco's (Bk When That Tesco's Store Was Good) TBH Ur FPS Did Not Seem That Bad Leaving Waterloo And Going Thro Clapham, Mine Is A Lot Worse Thro That Section Lol.
bit of a correction for what you said about queenstown road, theres actually only 3 tracks on the windsor lines coming into queenstown road which then becomes four as the down line splits into 2

Oh my god, you actually did it! Great video, I'm loving the new PC.
The route is inaccurate there's not enough school children waiting on the platform between liss and lipock

Great video mate....ah the halcyon days of when a phone was just a phone!
Really enjoying all your route learning videos, I wish I'd seen these when I first played Train Simulator back in 2013.
I do love the 450 I will definitely use this I would love to learn this route!

As usual, 10/10 video
The acceleration sound on these trains are epic
Yeah, it’s the same on the 444 units. I really like that whistling noise.
It was cool to see you stop at my local station.
I just bought this route a few days ago! Nice coincidence.
@Adrián Ubiaga yes.
Nice to see people still playing train simulator
Woo woo. It's my line.
If you ever do a video on this route in the opposite direction it would be a perfect opportunity to redo 423/421 run on the original pdl
Great video as always Peter thanks

Absolutely brilliant
My cousin used to live in West Byfleet. I visited her a couple years ago cos I had tickets to see Kiss in London and she wanted to go.
I'm a shunter driver at selhurst depot, very very close to Thornton heath
Great video thanks!
Can you do route learning of Euston-Watford Jct(Overground)
no way I live along this line. so odd to see it pop up as one of the first recomendation
This is my route to work from Guildford, it's so strange seeing it in game 😅
Yay, my local route. Great to see you cover it again
Great Video. Would it be possible to do the S&C in a class 158 sometime soon?
Can we look at route kings Lynn to kings cross at some point?
47:24 Trust me, wait 23 seconds after the front of the train passed the speed board😎
First!!! Love your videos so much!!! 😁❤️🔥👍🏻
gasp, i live there! (Havant)
30k by the end of the year???
Let’s do it
That’s the goal! ;)
Excellent video again also whereabouts did you find the scenerio?
It comes with the AP 444/450 enhancement pack
I think there is two South Western Railway skins that people have made. The full livery and the Ex South West Trains livery with the South Western Railway branding.
Woking is where I live
really enjoyed learning this side of the route, but does anyone know where i can learn the portsmouth-london waterloo side of this addon.
Since when did the 450/444 enhancement pack have a GSMR how did u get the GSMR?
The packs got an update from AP
How do you get it
@@AdamPTrainz just redownload the pack and it should be there
How tho I’m dumb
it doesnt work like that it says you alerady have one copt and u cant download it again
Hey there what’s the middle class number as I saw 450 103 and 450 039 I wondered what the middle number was ?
Hi, what type of pc spec will I need to get this game please? I have a medical then training to be a driver. Ty
Is there a reskin for the 455 because that didn't look like the PDL 455
I Hope they add this on tsw3
Wonder if we will ever get stains as a station
do you have the PDL optimization patch found on ATS?

I worked on the Met line from 2010-2017 and loved every minute of it.
I think that might be due to differing train lengths on the main line.

Can you do derby - Nottingham Leicester from JT

What other routes does the base game come with?
Search for the PDL optimised mod, I believe it's on the workshop
This is the PDL with the optimised mod installed!
@@PTGRail Oh damn okay.
I guess the London area is just that bad. At least the FPS gets better after a while.
Why is there a third rail, randomly located on the left or the right hand side of the track?

Dear PTG Rail it is not wisky one nine but is wisky one nin-er. The number three is tree in the phonetic alphabet.
I'm a driver and I've never heard anyone say niner, nine is just fine.
Its typically only aviation that use niner and tree etc.
