Last week I got to step inside the drivers cabin once in a life time it's amazing I was just on the platform trainspotting and caught the driver at the right time
I travel this route a lot to London from glasgow, When I opened up TH-cam I saw this video and I hadent seen any videos like this before! Excellent videos, Deffinetly another subscriber!
Good stuff, was always the favourite part of the route. When I lived out near Kendal I'd come up this way from London, and also went down from Glasgow too.
Great video as always. A few minor corrections if I may. The Grayrigg crash was about a couple of miles before the passing loops, not at them. Between Docker viaduct and the loops. Second, the northbound Shap gradient in 1 in 75, not 1 in 98 (which latter is Beattock I think). Third, what is labelled as Lowther viaduct, just before Penrith down goods loop, is in fact Eamont viaduct. The line crosses the Lowther about half a mile earlier (south), just after the M6 crossing at Clifton. Lowther joins Eamont about 1 mile to the east. Does anyone know why the limit at the summit is 80. It doesn't seem particularly bendy.
William Monkhouse Thank you :) And thanks for the corrections, I will take them on board for future videos along this route. I'm not sure why the speed limit is 80 just there.
Really enjoyed the footage mate and I liked the narration as it reminds me of the driver's eye view DVD's that I have of the real trains. I will be watching more of your excellent videos and consider me subscribed :). Ash.
PTGRail No problem mate, if you take requests or suggestions. I would like to see a scenario video of a DB Schenker Class 60 on a heavy oil train in rush hour where there would be a lot of traffic and passenger trains overtaking the oil train at passing loops etc. I bet that would be a challenge for the Shap section of this route with all that weight the 60 would be pulling but you can choose any route you wish if you decide to make a video based on this suggestion mate :). I will look forward to the next new video. Best Regards Ash.
PTGRail Nice driving and nice route. Do you think it TS16 they would extend the line to London Euston? If they do they probaly could make the London - Watford Junction line London Overground and get some London Midland 350s Going around Crewe Lime Street or Brimingham New St.
Lorraine Duhaney I wish they would expand down to London Euston, but knowing DTG it's very unlikely. They will probably give us a short section of the WCML from London.. maybe to Milton Keynes or something knowing them lol! xD
At 125 mph the time between the "Whistle Board" and the crossings is a few seconds. There was a "near miss" a few miles out on this video. This brings to mind a recent fatality on a farm track crossing, at a much lower speed, on the York to Scarborough line.
I live in Kendal too and this rebuild of the line is super accurate worth every penny of the game great vid. The Pendolino derailed at the points just after the docker viaduct
Great video, moderately realistic with the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 90 freight set at the start, nice touch! In real life the Class 390 is usually formed of eleven coaches and doesn't call at any stations between Preston and Carlisle with the odd exception of Lancaster on some trains. The usual journey would be London Euston - Warrington Bank Quay - Wigan North Western - Preston - Carlisle and Glasgow Central.
Thanks. I added the freight to make it look better! I think that some 390s are 11 and some are 9 coaches? As for the timetable and the stops - I used the real life timetable of train 1S87, the 1657 London Euston to Glasgow Central service. Departing Preston at 19:16 it is scheduled to call at Lancaster, Oxenholme, Penrith and Carlisle. I will be taking up this service again for the continuation to Glasgow calling at Lockerbie, Motherwell and Glasgow Central. I specifically chose this service for the stopping pattern. :)
Actually I catch this train all the time because used to live on Carlisle and it usually has 9 carriages and it stops at Lancaster, oxenholme, and Penrith before Carlisle.
The Pendolino’s stop at Lancaster 95% of the time. If they stop in Oxenholme then they don’t stop in Penrith apart from the odd exemptions a few times a day. There was once a service - head code 1M82 I think - that did London Euston to Glasgow Central stopping at nowhere apart from Preston.
Matthew Skidmore You were inconvenienced at most, you were not a victim. Victims were on that train, that day. Have some respect for yourself and others.
another well made,well presented video . when you make all your routes put them on a CD I would buy that and I think many more would. but could be copy write issues.
lovely drive i thoroughly look at the route and see if everything is correct like the stations, sidings and more but oxenholme station is wrong the reason i know that im up there every morning travelling to school
Just a comment to what you said about maintaining the speed of the Train. When you have reach about 1mph before the assigned Speed if you Press C it will stop the train from Accelerating past that speed. if you are going downhill and notice that the train is starting to pick up speed decelerate and then leave the Train in Idle till the train speed goes down.
James Mawer Thanks for the comment :) I didn't realise this train had cruise control at the time! In the video I made in this train from Carlisle to Glasgow I did use the cruise control system.
Great Videos im a new subscriber and enjoy watching these vids keep them up! If your looking for suggestions i would say an east midlands route if any exist.
Awesome, thanks for the comment and the subscription! There aren't really any East Midlands routes at the minute, but as I'm originally from there I would love it if some were made :)
VG-Snapey93 Sorry I only just saw your last comment. Let's hope that more is covered in the East Midlands! I will be covering the route from Peterborough to York soon :)
Could someone help me. I play train simulator and I installed it on my laptop and when ever I'm in the cab it keeps jumping. Sort of lagging. Could anyone tell me how you stop this. Thanks. Also great video
hey PTGRail do you use any add-ons for your videos, or are all your trains in the normal version of ts2015? Nice videos, i do really enjoy. Thank you for answers...
Why don't railways in Britain use a system like in Germany, where there is a guide book displaying all speed limits, station and signal locations? Drivers still have to learn the route, but they don't really have to learn it inside out like this, and even allows for driving without route knowledge (although this is a rare occurrence). It wouldn't even cost much. Nonetheless, this was interesting to watch, and you do a great commentary :)
Wakajce It's interesting to know they do that in Germany, I wasn't aware of that. I guess they want drivers to really know the route they drive here. Still, I don't think that's a bad idea. One of those books would sure help me with this project lol! Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed this video :)
PTGRail No problem :) if you are interested, look up EBuLa on wikipedia (no English page unfortunately, but hopefully google translate should be able to do it). Basically, every 200m or so there is a 'Hektometertafel' (Look at google images), which are fixed signs along the route displaying kilometers and hectometers, which the driver cross-references with his computer or physical book (normally they have both out), which has important features such as signals and stations listed, for example at km 49.5 there is a station. Each route has its own name, so there isn't confusion when looking at these signs, known as KBS (Kursbuchstrecke). Also, the markings are the same for both directions, so City A would start at 0,0 and City B would be at say 50,6. If you were driving from A to B, the Hektometertafel values would increase, and likewise starting from B, they would decrease until you arrive at A at 0,0. I hope that made sense ;P
As this route is based in the 1970s (though with dual speed limits for both modern tilting trains and older trains) it comes with a BR blue Class 87, and also a Class 47. You can purchase the Pendolino separately. The route and train are both available on Steam.
This has inspired me to get this route now as I have the Trent Valley and North west coast routes. How is the Over Shap route in terms of lag? Does it crash often? Is it very scenery intense?
@@PTGRail That's surprising it seems that the Trent Valley route is very well behaved on my PC but other routes that are bigger downloads or longer routes like WCML North tend to crash more or require 64-bit to be able to drive the whole way. I would've thought that this route needed more memory (as it is something like 90 miles).
Great video as usual! :) Here is a question: do these routes you were talking about at the end of the video (like WCMLN, Settle to Carlisle, etc) connect with each other? If yes, do they automatically do it and do they all do it? Thanks a lot and keep the good work up!!
Lorenzo Paolo De Noia Thanks for your comment :) Unfortunately the routes don't all connect with each other in Train Simulator, so to complete a run from say Settle to Glasgow you would need to do it as two separate scenarios.
+High Speeds Trains James1 I wish they would! But unfortunately it's not possible to join the two routes because of the way they were built. And thanks :)
Great Video, I have tried to install the Virgin livery for the 390 however it won't show in TS2015. I have copied the files over and followed the instructions i was just wondering if you had any problems. It worked before the update to TS2015. Thanks Chris
CHRIS HARWOOD I'm not entirely sure. I just installed the extra stock pack which came with an Armstrong Powerhouse scenario pack and it worked. Sorry I can't be more help.. I wish I could! :)
Hi. If You are Getting It From UKTRAINSIM Then I Have Had An Identical Problem. I Cannot Fix It But I Am Trying. If You Fix It Please Get Back To Me And If I Get It Working I'll Let You Know
Hi i have just found the solution, you need to go into where you select the locomotive and you will see a custom button with a spanner you then need to create a consist and the Virgin livery appears when you select the electric locomotive type. Just create how many carriages you need and put it together and then save. You will then see it in the locomotive page.

I would like a game with the NI Railways (Northern Ireland) From Larne harbor to Belfast great victoria street. Or the Enterprise from Belfast central to Dublin
Chicken Gamer It comes for free with the extra stock pack for the Armstrong Powerhouse WCML over Shap scenario pack, available from www.armstrongpowerhouse.com :)
+Anthony Parker You can purchase the Class 390 on Steam and then find a Virgin Trains reskin of it online. I used the one from the WCML over Shap free extra stock pack which comes with the WCML over Shap scenario pack available from www.armstrongpowerhouse.com
Hi , how do you get the Virgin trains skin in train simulator 2015 , it's not in the Virgin trains skins in the steam store . If you could help be appreciated thanks
I was wondering if you could tell me, where did you get the Virgin skin from? And also does the cab light work for you on the train or have you modded it by any chance? Thanks.
Ashley Rowe-Wynant Hi Ashley. The Virgin reskin came from Armstrong Powerhouse for free with their WCML over Shap scenario pack here: www.armstrongpowerhouse.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=29_80&product_id=136 As for the cab light, I'm not sure I've ever used it to know lol :)
+Noah Burquest You can get it for free with the extra stock pack for the WCML scenario packs available from Armstrong Powerhouse at www.armstrongpowerhouse.com
DRFCMATTY I will be covering the East Coast Main Line between Peterborough and York which goes through Doncaster. Other than that there are no other routes available which go through Doncaster at present.
+PTGRail york to newcastle too. So the ECML could be simulated all the way from London to Newcastle. London to Peterborough in a class 91. Peterborough to York in a class 55 deltic. York to Newcastle in a class 43 HST.
In addition to Oxenholme Lake District on the West Coast Main Line, Kendal has its own station on the branch from Oxenholme to Windermere. It is planned to electrify the branch in the near future. By the way, the gradient up to Shap summit from Tebay is mainly at 1 in 75, not as stated in the video. In the days of steam this proved to be a taxing experience for heavy freights which had to be banked from Tebay.
DJBut1 I forgot to mention that the derailment referred to in the superb video was just after the faulty crossover at Lambrigg, not at Grayrigg. Lambrigg is passed before Grayrigg going north.
DJBut1 Ahhh I see. I know it was called the Grayrigg derailment so I assumed it happened at Grayrigg itself. So was it on the crossover just before Grayrigg in the direction I was going?
PTGRail Yes, the train derailed after passing over the faulty leading crossover of the two at Lambrigg. The two crossovers were a throwback to the days when there was a signal box at Lambrigg. I understand that both crossovers have since been removed.
+Sandra McTurk Route learning isn't a mode in Train Simulator, it's the name I've given to this series of videos. I'm trying to help people learn different routes so they can drive them without using the HUD - a much more realistic experience.
+the ship spotter The Class 390 is available on Steam, and the Virgin livery is available for free with the extra stock pack for any of the WCML scenario packs available at www.armstrongpowerhouse.com :)
Will Marston I didn't feel that splitting it into two parts would benefit this video. I prefer to have a complete journey in each video where possible.
Harrison Vlogs and more because I’m driving with the HUD turned off. It gives a far more realistic experience, but it means I can’t really leave the cab when driving because I need to be able to see the cab controls, especially the speedometer.
Dale Croll I will be covering that route. I'm working my way towards Scotland at the minute, and the Scottish East Coast Main Line is one of the route I plan on covering :)
I recently watched a video of southampton airport parkway trains that a friend uploaded, and I am pretty certain I heard your distinctive voice on the public announcements. Example of this is 16:03 th-cam.com/video/uVxKNXo0S-U/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
This reskin came with the extra stock pack on the page for the Armstrong Powerhouse 'AP35: WCML Over Shap Passenger' scenario pack. You can find it here: www.armstrongpowerhouse.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=29_80&product_id=136
PTGRail definatly not you PTGRail, I just despise "first" commenters. You put so much time and effort into making these excellent videos for us and people comment with "first" like its a god dam achievement.
Haha, I don't see the point either. Each to their own I guess. You have a point, and I don't think many people realise just how many hours work goes into making these videos!
BigDuke6ixx I don't see how it would increase safety, especially at higher speeds. It may even compromise safety. You would still need a member of staff on the train too for safety reasons, and they could strike.
Computers are much better at mundane tasks like driving a train. Speed isn't an issue because automated systems have much faster reactions times than humans. The person pushing the sandwich trolley can be trained in basic safety procedures.

heydon2012 You can get it free with the extra stock which comes with the Armstrong Powerhouse WCML over Shap scenario pack :)
Can you do a Morecambe to Leeds?
Unfortunately not as that route isn't currently available. I can only go from Morcambe as far as Carnforth.
What is the route called? And where can I buy it for TS2015?
The route is West Coast Main Line/WCML over Shap and it's available on Steam :)
+PTGrail where did you get that route from and good video 👌
Steam wcml over shap
Will you be doing Any lines going through doncaster? I.e Cleethorpes to Manchester airport or Anyone's vis doncaster to London Kings cross?
DRFCMATTY I will be covering the East Coast Main Line between Peterborough and York which goes through Doncaster. Other than that there are no other routes available which go through Doncaster at present.
+PTGRail york to newcastle too. So the ECML could be simulated all the way from London to Newcastle.
London to Peterborough in a class 91.
Peterborough to York in a class 55 deltic.
York to Newcastle in a class 43 HST.
Trains Fan / shelby3024 At present the ECML can be simulated all the way from London to Edinburgh, and then it's possible to go further to Dundee :)
Wow! What's the last route called? (Newcastle to Edinburgh) My guess: ECML North?
It's available from Just Trains and I think it's just called Newcastle to Edinburgh :)
how to you get the virgin pendolino train I do have the class 390 but not in the virgin train colors as it is in the video.
+james toyn You can get it with the free extra stock pack for the WCML scenario packs at www.armstrongpowerhouse.com :)
+PTGRail its a pity that the WCML Trent valley' WCML north and WCML Shap" route can't be joined together as one whole route.
Oxenholme is Kendal's stations
Kieron Holme Awesome, thanks for that. I'd heard of Kendal and knew it was in Cumbria but wasn't sure exactly where :)
In addition to Oxenholme Lake District on the West Coast Main Line, Kendal has its own station on the branch from Oxenholme to Windermere. It is planned to electrify the branch in the near future. By the way, the gradient up to Shap summit from Tebay is mainly at 1 in 75, not as stated in the video. In the days of steam this proved to be a taxing experience for heavy freights which had to be banked from Tebay.
DJBut1
I forgot to mention that the derailment referred to in the superb video was just after the faulty crossover at Lambrigg, not at Grayrigg. Lambrigg is passed before Grayrigg going north.
DJBut1 Ahhh I see. I know it was called the Grayrigg derailment so I assumed it happened at Grayrigg itself. So was it on the crossover just before Grayrigg in the direction I was going?
PTGRail Yes, the train derailed after passing over the faulty leading crossover of the two at Lambrigg. The two crossovers were a throwback to the days when there was a signal box at Lambrigg. I understand that both crossovers have since been removed.
How do u get the route cause I really want it my local station is preston
Bob Mcdonald You can buy the route on Steam. It's the "West Coast main line over Shap" route
How many motorised coaches are there in a Pendolino set?
sheffield to Lincoln
Matthew Stevens it's electric so I believe there's two pantographs and one is used at a time
There are a variation of 9 coaches and 11 coaches on the 390 pendolino. There are also 2 motorised sets on the train
what requirements do i need for this route?
how do you access route learning as when I go on train sim all I get is quick drive or career mode.
+Sandra McTurk Route learning isn't a mode in Train Simulator, it's the name I've given to this series of videos. I'm trying to help people learn different routes so they can drive them without using the HUD - a much more realistic experience.
how did you get the train simulator
+Pearce Benson You can get Train Simulator on Steam for PC, here's the link to it in the Steam store: store.steampowered.com/app/24010/
U r on stream right now arent u
I was on Alan's stream, yes! :)
where do u get the 390 from and in virgin livery?
+the ship spotter The Class 390 is available on Steam, and the Virgin livery is available for free with the extra stock pack for any of the WCML scenario packs available at www.armstrongpowerhouse.com :)
+PTGRail thanks
Why 1 hour gust split it in 2 parts
Will Marston I didn't feel that splitting it into two parts would benefit this video. I prefer to have a complete journey in each video where possible.
My dad is a Shrewsbury fan, according to your picture
Why do you stay in the cab of the train why do you not explore the outside world
Harrison Vlogs and more because I’m driving with the HUD turned off. It gives a far more realistic experience, but it means I can’t really leave the cab when driving because I need to be able to see the cab controls, especially the speedometer.
Drive a East Midlands train to Nottingham
Unfortunately, there are no routes to Nottingham available for Train Simulator at present.
could you do if possible scottish east coast mainline please
Dale Croll I will be covering that route. I'm working my way towards Scotland at the minute, and the Scottish East Coast Main Line is one of the route I plan on covering :)
I recently watched a video of southampton airport parkway trains that a friend uploaded, and I am pretty certain I heard your distinctive voice on the public announcements. Example of this is 16:03 th-cam.com/video/uVxKNXo0S-U/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
That's not me lol :) I'd happily do that as a job though lol
Skin Mod Link? :D
This reskin came with the extra stock pack on the page for the Armstrong Powerhouse 'AP35: WCML Over Shap Passenger' scenario pack. You can find it here:

First
well done! you must be so proud.
Daniel Gregory Is that directed at me or SupaHotFire? Lol :p
PTGRail definatly not you PTGRail, I just despise "first" commenters. You put so much time and effort into making these excellent videos for us and people comment with "first" like its a god dam achievement.
Haha, I don't see the point either. Each to their own I guess. You have a point, and I don't think many people realise just how many hours work goes into making these videos!
Nerd
I know. I like being a nerd. Or geek. Or whatever else you wanna call me, I'm sure most of my friends have called me that at one time or another :p
We need driverless trains.
+BigDuke6ixx What benefits would that bring?
Cheaper, safer, more reliable, don't strike.
BigDuke6ixx I don't see how it would increase safety, especially at higher speeds. It may even compromise safety. You would still need a member of staff on the train too for safety reasons, and they could strike.
Computers are much better at mundane tasks like driving a train. Speed isn't an issue because automated systems have much faster reactions times than humans. The person pushing the sandwich trolley can be trained in basic safety procedures.
+BigDuke6ixx how in any way would it be cheaper
Yawn.............
Could you do a video on freight trains
FamilyAccount Mattson I have just recently done one, check out my recent Q&A video which was on a freight run :)
PTGRail cool I will do that
What are the requirements of the virgin pendolino reskin
+Tim O'Grady As far as I know, you only need to own the Pendolino to be able to use the reskin.
