This has to be one of the best videos I’ve watched on the whole of TH-cam recently. To hear such a knowledgeable and professional driver. She really added an extra detail and she clearly loves her job.
I play TSW4 and really liked this video. Jess you seem a very nice person. It was great to see a real driver play the game i like. Thankyou for your time.
Can you make this game compatible with the turtle beach velocity one flight stick on xbox SX. Because the stick has two levers, it would make controlling the trains a lot more realistic.
I am a retired driver and have been using train simulation from BVE in the 90's to OpenBVE, Trainsimulator and now Train Sim World 4 and have always enjoyed them and experiencing the technical progress that has gone with them.
Totally agree with every word there chap! Love the class 101, especially in TSW... No cold draughts around your legs, 40 years on and I'm paying for it now, me knees are knackered.
@@milepost326 The Class 47's were my favourite locos but they became the worst for us where drivers were sitting in bin bags or having a coat or jacket over their knees.
I hope Dovetail actually take her feedback on board and correct the things that are wrong with the setup of the train to make it even more realistic. It is nice to get an insight to an actual driver on a HST.
They might not be ‘wrong’ to be fair. Particularly with software stuff, I wonder if it’s a bit like aeroplanes where companies can tailor the base software package to their own requirements which is why there would be a few differences on here.
@@kiwiavgeek yeah I thought that after I wrote it! Maybe it’s a licence thing where they can’t change anything, who knows. Just trying to avoid saying it’s wrong but because they got it wrong!
This is really cool. Seeing her complete concentration and awareness on a sim gives me confidence that drivers on real trains are seriously paying attention! Normal gamers would be wuffing down a vegan poke bowl, texting and petting the cat while they drive, putting all the virtual passengers at risk!
Her knowledge of her trains and layout of her nation is absolutely incredible. she knows every little detail and can explain it in a way everyone can understand. Love from Sweden
Technically, you can drive a car without a license if you know how to work with the vehicle. A train wouldn't be that far off, but insurance wise a hell.
Just have this video appearing in my home feed... I love how a railway company decides to put their staff to the test with a Train Sim game series. Good luck to you all, hope the series progresses to something amazing!
Would love to see more content like this from Jess, it feels like a real privilege to see what goes into train driving that so many of us take for granted.
Lovely idea, letting a real pro do their work , but on a sim. Jess is a bit cautious at first, but after awhile, the professional in her really comes out. Good stuff 👍
Thank you to Jess for playing the game. I am still new and it felt good to watch her set up the cab and tell us how similar/dissimilar the game train is from the real thing.
You really need to be switched on driving a train- so many things drivers need to do - so impressed with Jess's knowledge and ability hope all drivers are like this and they deserve to be paid well.
Excellent Video! Learned a few things. Hopefully Part 2 has safety systems turned on. DTG have them isolated by default to help new players with no train driving knowledge. A bit of a nuisance for the rest of us but hopefully one day they will give us an option to change the default status.
@MrJimheeren Safety systems aren't isolated by default in real trains though. Setting up the AWS/TPWS is literally just a case of switching the desk in and cancelling the horn. It's something I find a little bit annoying too, that there's no way to default to them being on.
This is amazing! I've watched dozens of 'real' aircraft pilots telling their impressions on simulated aircrafts, but this is the first time ever, that I can see a real train driver doing such a thing on a train simulator! Thank you both (the author and of course the gentle Jess) for the experience. Ah, and apologies for the horrid use of the english vocabulary and choice of words. English is not my main language, unfortunately… Cheers.
That's really informative. I would like to see dovetail take on any feedback and make the simulation as accurate as possible. It would be great to have a route knowledge mode, giving the appropriate points to look for along the route.
So cool to see a person play a simulator of their real life job. There isn't many people who are willing to play a simulator of their real life work , there are many farmers in real life that won't play the farming simulators that are out. With railroad employees it's completely different they love what they do and can't get enough of being around trains.....me having a big love for trains i definitely would be playing the simulators on my down time if i was a railroad engineer 😁
This driver rocks 🤟 We need her in TSW4 please pay her to make an advanced driving tutorial for the game 🙏 Thank you for showing us how the pro's drive ❤
I’ve spent way too much time playing train sim world 3, 4 and soon 5! The LNER 801 class is a lot of fun! But deffo love seeing the old intercitys every now and then!
Nice one, Jess. Great to relate a fantastic sim to a real life professional driver. Very entertaining and informative,; your route knowledge is fantastic
As a US engineer, it's pretty remarkable to hear how many similarities there are between the way we run. Mainly in the physical characteristic knowledge of the territory. It's funny to see her looking for braking points that aren't in the game but are most certainly there for her every day IRL
Really enjoyed watching this, really interesting to hear from an actual driver. I've always wanted to work on the trains/railways but don't know how to get started
My son really loves Train Sim World 4 and he'd loved to actually go into train driving as a job. Many thanks to Dovetail Games for making such an accurate sim for fans of trains 👏👏👏❤👍
5:23 No, you are not stuck in 1.5 . This is actually one of the things that annoy me in TSW (and before that in TSC), distances are straight line distances and not track distance (at least above a mile this seems to be the case). Normally, especially on UK and most German routes not really a problem as it generally is close to the real distance. But certain mountain routes in Germany and the USA where you "double back" a lot due to S curves, the distance goes down, up, down, up... highly annoying as you never have an idea of how far it actually is.
Good video that..👍🏼 as a signaller i play this game and still wish id made the move to s driver years ago, well done LNER 👏 please have a driver recruitment opportunity opportunity available soon 🙏
At 33:24, if the DRA is set whilst moving and the Driver is applying power using the power brake controller, no power will be applied to the train. Simply set the power brake controller back to the "0" position and reapply power.
Now the true test for this channel would be to test a experienced train simulation player if they can operate the real thing on a test track (not in service of course).
I enjoyed that I've driven on the East Coast Main Line route in Train Sim World 4 I had driven the Azuma its nice to drive plus I did drive Flying Scotsman I love the route between Peterborough and Doncaster I would love to come and have a cab ride from on one of the Azuma's from Kings Cross to York some day this year
Hi there , awesome game isn't it TSW4 . I play this route quit often , and I love the journey , its so relaxing as a driver .... iv learned some new stuff I never new about train life irl... thank you
Loved this, as a bus driver it's great to show our technical ability and remind people we always look after you and are not just sat at the front end watching Netflix and playing on our phones
Having played the previous stuttering train simulators and after reading all the negative reviews about TSW4, I was not expecting much to be honest. I had a play last night and my first experience was enjoyable even on my 10 year old potato pc. The major gripe seems to be the way the scenery loads, even on the latest PC's. I have always relied on a program called Dimmdrive to pre load routes and assets into RAM before playing which helped with the stutters a lot. I am hoping Dovetail are looking into this and will fix it soon. I also hope that they improve the steam experience and add some historic scenery. Great to hear the experiences of a real driver and I will stay tuned for more.
Make sure to check out part 2 with the safety systems active! th-cam.com/video/f4PnEGcs64A/w-d-xo.html
The smile when she found the horn button knowing there are no repercussions from mashing it in-game is brilliant
LNER is now a gaming channel
Who wouldn’t want to be a gaming channel? 🎮
I can’t complain
I would watch Lner gaming
...and we love it!
I have a crazy amount of time on TSW, can i now make the video "Can A Simulator Drive A Real Train"?
To hear an actual driver explain things and differences is amazing. to hear her thought process and route knowledge helps tremendously
12 minutes late into Peterborough? The realism is exceptional! 🤭
solid lol, thank you
@@TheHongKongHermit - de nada!
please make this a trend for all companies haha, can't wait for easyJet captain plays Microsoft flight simulator
Have a look at A320 sim pilot and A330 driver. Both are commercial airline pilots. Lewdix Gaming is a flight instructor who has flown commercially.
There are professional pilots already with TH-cam channels showcasing their skills….
I want to see real Canadian Pacific engineers drive the SearchlightSimulations CP AC4400CW Golden Beaver on TSC.
I'm looking forward to getting filmed playing bus driver sim 😅
Hmm.... Hitman playing Hitman?
This has to be one of the best videos I’ve watched on the whole of TH-cam recently. To hear such a knowledgeable and professional driver. She really added an extra detail and she clearly loves her job.
Thank you Chris, such lovely feedback! ^Charlene

Thank you very much for the lovely feedback! Have a lovely evening :)
Thanks, Jess! It was a delight to have you try out Train Sim World 4 😍. Can't wait for Part 2!
Can you make this game compatible with the turtle beach velocity one flight stick on xbox SX. Because the stick has two levers, it would make controlling the trains a lot more realistic.

@@Superdelphinus Yes, although the train is a model from the company the lady is from (LNER).
@@kiwiavgeek yeah I thought that after I wrote it! Maybe it’s a licence thing where they can’t change anything, who knows. Just trying to avoid saying it’s wrong but because they got it wrong!
It's dvt. Not gonna happen. There's a broken tutorial since tsw2 from a dlc that costs 30 dollars and it's still not fixed in tsw4.
Nothing better to get a simulation game right than work with people actually doing the job and get as much feedback as you can. Really nice!
I'm not into train sims, but definitely enjoyed this - always good fun to see things explained clearly by a true professional!
This is really cool. Seeing her complete concentration and awareness on a sim gives me confidence that drivers on real trains are seriously paying attention!

Yea and looking at another screen watching youtube and typing this reply while going 200kmh
吱疗达耶
Love this, it's so interesting to get an expert's point of view of the simulation's accuracy as well as driving tips!
Her knowledge of her trains and layout of her nation is absolutely incredible.
she knows every little detail and can explain it in a way everyone can understand.
Love from Sweden
Jess is brilliant!! I'd feel safe on their train.
Fantastic video and editing, Jess is knowledgeable clearly shows the experience fair play LNER
Thank you, much appreciated!
Now does this mean I can drive tomorrow’s service from LCN-KGX? I have more hours played than I’m willing to admit
you can't
really!?!?!??!?!?!!?@@peaxn
You can, after you've obtained every required permit, which should only be a formality.
Technically, you can drive a car without a license if you know how to work with the vehicle.
A train wouldn't be that far off, but insurance wise a hell.
Just have this video appearing in my home feed... I love how a railway company decides to put their staff to the test with a Train Sim game series. Good luck to you all, hope the series progresses to something amazing!
Are they real staff? I didn't realize.

Got to admit, I like the voice over guy....it's like being at a museum experience.
A really interesting video. Thank you Jess and LNER. I look forward to Part 2.

To be honest I like to set everything up. It’s half the fun
@MrJimheeren Safety systems aren't isolated by default in real trains though. Setting up the AWS/TPWS is literally just a case of switching the desk in and cancelling the horn.
It's something I find a little bit annoying too, that there's no way to default to them being on.
@@dislecsyk991 yeah that would be a good option. It’s especially annoying in some German locos where you have to switch cabs to activate PZB and Sifa
You can turn on the safety systems if you find the switches.
On PC, Ctrl+Enter switches them all on, so it's no biggie - I agree with Dovetail Games policy of making it easier for inexperienced players.
This is amazing!

Waiting for "Can a Train Sim World 4 player drive a Real Train?"
Very professional but friendly driver. I hope we'll see more of her on the channel
That's really informative. I would like to see dovetail take on any feedback and make the simulation as accurate as possible. It would be great to have a route knowledge mode, giving the appropriate points to look for along the route.
Love this from LNER!
I’m loving playing TSW4 this is the kind of content I like to see from the operator too
It’s great to see a train driver do videos like this. I appreciate the professional insight. Thanks Jess

Well done LNER and Jess for doing this, it was really interesting to watch and looking forward to part 2.
Great video well done LNER your the best
Really nice to see her perspective and hats off to her and respect for what they do.
I’ve spent way too much time playing train sim world 3, 4 and soon 5! The LNER 801 class is a lot of fun! But deffo love seeing the old intercitys every now and then!
Love the ideas the driver brings up. Very cool to watch this.
Very cool, thanks to Jess for the expertise and LNER for posting this!
Love the Part one!!!! I think Part 2 should be all safety systems
She needs to do the Comes in Threes Scenario where shes moving cows off the line dealing with power cuts 😂
Absolutely loved this more please ❤
That was my most favourite video of the month! Jess appears to be an amazing person and I would love to have her as my train driver. 🇩🇪❤🇬🇧
She is fab! Thank you for the kind words
Nice one, Jess. Great to relate a fantastic sim to a real life professional driver. Very entertaining and informative,; your route knowledge is fantastic
This is fascinating and strangely hypnotic and soothing 👏🏻👏🏻
As a US engineer, it's pretty remarkable to hear how many similarities there are between the way we run. Mainly in the physical characteristic knowledge of the territory. It's funny to see her looking for braking points that aren't in the game but are most certainly there for her every day IRL
Jess is thinking to herself I already know all this have done for ages 😂😂
Great hearing the route detail from Jess throughout the journey
she dealt with the stick drift well.. dang controllers
This was great. Jess really seems to know her stuff, and I'd feel very comfortable riding a train she was driving.
Really enjoyed watching this, really interesting to hear from an actual driver.
I've always wanted to work on the trains/railways but don't know how to get started
My son really loves Train Sim World 4 and he'd loved to actually go into train driving as a job. Many thanks to Dovetail Games for making such an accurate sim for fans of trains 👏👏👏❤👍
That was brilliant - hope to see more of Jess.
No problem, I am a train driver and I love to play TSW.
The white van going down the hill always makes me laugh

This is what I love to see! Congrats Jess on the opportunity!
It’s super accurate too, down to the lateness. Of course this is only a joke! Loved the video really!!
Now the true test for this channel would be to test a experienced train simulation player if they can operate the real thing on a test track (not in service of course).
Went and purchased this game after watching this video. Its a lot of fun
Brilliant video! Well done LNER. :)
I'm here for this, it's interesting perspective from actual operators
Great video! It's interesting hearing the feedback of people who do this IRL.
Cool vid. I look forward to watching the next part.
first one i played with on the game was the class 101 on the tees valley line. everything after that seemed easy.
Really interesting hearing a professional driver's take on both the train and the route.
Great video always cool finding out what the pros think 😊
This game is so amazing and so realistic. Very good graphics as well.
Thank you Jess fantastic video, really enjoyed watching it, please can you do some more 👍
Loving the diversity and representation!!!❤❤❤
The big question is tho is could an avid TSW player get a train going 😂. This was really interesting watching her play this brilliant.
How fascinating watching a real Train drive do the simulator. 😃👍
screaming through the screen 'the snow brake!!' when you kept losing traction towards peterborough. anyways i really enjoyed this. thank you.
Yip. It hasn't been implemented correctly, along with number of other things.
I enjoyed that I've driven on the East Coast Main Line route in Train Sim World 4 I had driven the Azuma its nice to drive plus I did drive Flying Scotsman I love the route between Peterborough and Doncaster I would love to come and have a cab ride from on one of the Azuma's from Kings Cross to York some day this year
Really enjoyed watching this :)
9:10 Using a controller is obviously the biggest obstacle here. I would love to see the same thing using VR controllers.
0:52 They did not mind the gap 😂😂
Hi there , awesome game isn't it TSW4 . I play this route quit often , and I love the journey , its so relaxing as a driver .... iv learned some new stuff I never new about train life irl... thank you
You need to try and get Ross Clark to try this. Also love the vids LNER 👍
As a new player to train simulators this was really educational 😊
I really wish this game would work with the turtle beach velocity one flight stick. It has all the levers it needs to make playing this game a joy.
Why am I awake right now? Fuck it train sim videos, we ball.
Loved this, as a bus driver it's great to show our technical ability and remind people we always look after you and are not just sat at the front end watching Netflix and playing on our phones
Brilliant & interesting content thank you for posting
I’m just gonna show people this video when they say why I love LNER so much
Very interesting video and informative. Would be great if DTG would take on some of her feedback re train systems for better simulation

Talk about being down with the kids! Genius marketing
This is an awesome video and I'm definitely giving this game a go
I can learn a lot of train driving with this video. Cool.
The fact that LNER now has an Xbox
This is great! I'm an LNER Enthusiast.
Awesome! More of this please.
