South Wales Mainline Modern (Part 1) | First Looks | Class 800 AP Enhanced | Train Sim Classic

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Train Sim Classic!
Today we're going to be taking our first drive on the recently released "South Wales Mainline Modern" for Train Simulator Classic. This is a freeware enhancement which brings the current Bristol - Swansea route up to modern day standards.
We're going to be driving a scenario by Adam Haigh which sees us drive a Class 800 9 car unit on a service from Swansea to London Paddington. We'll be operating this service as far as Bristol Parkway in this scenario. This video (part 1) however we'll be driving as far as Bridgend.
This route is awesome! You can obtain it here:

Thanks for showing off this part of the route! It was a pleasure working with the route devs to do some scenarios, QA and helping to write the manual.
I hope you like what I've put in Cardiff ;)

Neath has always had a short platform towards cardiff cause they did not want to build it on a bridge so saved money by not making it longer

[@thomaswalters42]

Baglan was the one after briton ferry

27:49 The Station Between Port Talbot And Bridgend Was Pyle Which Is My Local Station

[@user-tu8tt5ch2e]

Landore depo has now been restored and cleaned up fully and is now home to 2 class 08 shunters as well as a lot of 175s

Amazing video Joe

[@ethanholding-blackburn7363]

Never seen Cardiff central so it would be nice to see it in the game joe please could you maybe do Bridgend to cardiff

[@dominicwalker1999]

It has been in the game for a while. This is part 1 so should it in the next part.

[@MetroTitanD78]

Great to see my local station Neath in this video and I must say looks far better too. The bridge next to Britton Ferry is far too high though in reality its only just above the trains.

[@EliTransportation]

Nice video

[@MattWillisVideoProductions2023]

Have worked at Port Talbot on rail replacement, that bridge is a complete pain in the neck!!

[@sweatybandit0]

Don't worry, Joe. My stepdad got heat stroke in Yorkshire😅

[@v1deonasty68]

I live in South Shields about 5 mins walk from the beach where the Great North Run ends.

17:58, Baglan 😀

[@transportlegend.shorts]

Hi joe, could you revisit euro truck sim ?

[@transportlegend.shorts]

Hi Joe, please revisit tramsim!

[@dyatlovisasigma7808]

I think the boards on the side say the next stop not the destination

[@BarryH1963]

Pity we can't get London to Swansea on Console for tsw 4

[@michaelmorgan9308]
