- Train sim world 3 TSW3 is here! In this video we take a look at the class 395 Javelin. on the southeastern high speed extended route, AKA HS1 or CTRL. We will be driving between Ashford International in Kent and London St Pancras International. The new TSW3
I am a freight train driver in real life and a former passenger train driver. Come and join me for a ride on the rails as we look at this new route and train for dovetails games newly released TSW3

Man, as someone who just started playing TSW3, having you explain what you do on the controls and why as well as sharing tidbits about the trains and services is worth so much! Also, yeah: that darn paperwork! 😂
Dunno if you are aware but in the little glass cupboard behind the 2nd man's seat you can turn on the KVB & the COVIT safety systems and get a bit more immersion on the route's colour light aspects.
I can't believe I've gone from 'bloody train drivers are on strike again, how am I going to get to work', to googling how much do train drivers earn, to googling how hard is it to drive a train, to finding this channel, listening to the vlogs on the merits and downsides of being a train driver to watching a train driver play a computer simulation of driving a train. Crazy and enjoyable journey, without actually even catching a train (as they are on strike again next week). You're a very likeable guy though. This is a nice chilled out channel, equal parts informative and personality driven.
Thanks so much for your comment. Strikes are no good for anybody. Incidentally as a freight driver we are not in dispute and it has been business as usual. Except when the signallers are out and we can’t run trains. Hoping that all parties get round the table and sort it out soon, although looking at all the other groups of workers striking I feel government intervention on the cost of living crisis is the only thing that will help ease tensions. Such a difficult situation for everybody.
@@DadRail I agree, when you see barristers , Postmen & Doctors striking as well, you know things are seriously wrong with the economy. So many mistakes. After your video explaining how easy it is to switch off from your job when it becomes routine, I realised I switch off from mine and make mistakes all the time (everyday). My mistakes don't lead to me ploughing 150 tonnes of steal into Paddington stations coffee shops.
This is gold mate! As a train noob, I really appreciate it when you explain the acronyms.
Love your channel man hearing about your experience while you play this is so amazing
I'm a newbie to the whole train sims, but am enjoying the 395 Javelin from what I have done so far. Same to some degree with the Class 66, but working at a power station that one is fun to drive, not quite as much seeing the EWS livery colours though! 😄
"and that's a lot of paperwork" Gave me a good laugh, hehe. Great videos sir, love your content.
Driver of 20+ years here... seriously can not think of anything i would less like to do when not driving a train ..to go and simulate it.. respect to you.. as an aside was meant to be on strike today cancelled due to hrh death!
Thanks, very good video. I lost count of the number of times you said doors on the left when they were on the right! Fortunately, you did open the RH doors.
Whoops! Mouth working quicker than my brain :-)
Glad you popped up on my feed man. Love it 👍
Thank you👍
If you want to have a little excitement with the Javelin, go on foot in the training area and bring one of the Javelins up to top speed on the large loop at 233kph. Make sure you have it ready to couple. Make sure you're on the left track while going clockwise around the big loop. With the second Javelin, get in front of the runaway train with plenty of space to get up to speed. Make sure you are in the back locomotive so you can see the runaway train coming and let it catch up to you at no more than 5kph. When it gently makes contact your trains will come to a stop. I've done it with the 465 and the 395 :)
I love the random rattling sounds on this train.
Nice vid. On the real 395 the TVM arms to 160KM/h on the chords before you join the CTRL. Makes a big difference on that climbing gradient and you'll be doing 225KM/h just before you get to the Lenham Loops. Bit disappointed they've left out the 3 neutral sections on the route and the TVM indications you get for that and also the noise you get when the VCBs open and close. Also, don't worry about braking on CTRL. We come out of north downs tunnel heading for the Medway viaduct and we have the brakes rubbing all the way or you will join "234 Squadron".
Ah, the Guv’nor. Hello Cole.
Hi, very interesting explanations, thank you to be a former for simmers also. Nice time together. See you
I used to be a British Rail Freight guard in South Yorkshire, back in the day we used to run coal to the power stations and once in a while we would get a car train to York, fun times.
I love trains and this is fascinating
Great video thanks
I remember when they used to vibrate like crazy when they first started running the high speed into St Pancras
That’s right, they had to do some work on the side dampers to tone it down
Very helpful, many thanks. Can I ask you two questions: (1) Is there a better workflow online for the switching between power sources at Ebbsfleet than that provided in the sim's tutorials? Right now I am just pressing keys in a memorised sequence without really understanding what I'm doing. (2) I like the challenge of responding to the AWS but haven't experienced it much in TW3; does it have to be enabled in some kind of difficulty setting? Many thanks.
4:10 I believe I've done a scenario that requires a power switch from AC to DC in this train at some point.
That was probably the TGV Duplex.
I live in Eastbourne, I have the East Coast way, the Brighton mainline and Southeastern High speed and honestly I would love to be able to drive a 171 from Ashford to Eastbourne, it's currently the route I'd most like to see of any 😆
oh thank god they have added that 2 minute start time to the journeys! was ridiculous having to GO! with no setup time.
Wow, a fellow ashfordian! I would love to see marshlink on TSW to!
Yes please east Coastway extended Eastbourne to Ashford with a 171 would be anazing
Nice video Richard!
I am currently in to flights sims, and with those it is possible to connect to networks that have real people running Air Traffic Control (ATC) sims, which enables you to fly with more realistic interaction. I don't know if there are any signalling simulations out there, but would train sim benefit from being able to connect to a network that included signallers controlling routes?
Great video
You did get the two London tunnels in the right order :-) now where is that route card haha
Sign me up!
When coming in at high speed you need to start breaking at 1.5miles to achieve a stop at the 6car marker
That’s what I’m working on.I’m either slightly passing the marker and I have to back up. Or I stop just a few feet ahead and the train doesn’t turn back on lol
Change the settings to mph it will give you the speed limits in mph as on the indicator on the bottom right indicator and it will show kmh on the middle display
I was once on one of those trains and it was late, I happened to have my phone up and on GPS speedometer, he got it up to 153 mph!
Those phone apps are not 100% accurate. I had a passenger accuse me of doing 103 in a 100mph a few years back. They reported my via Twitter! When the train was downloaded I was travelling at 99.7 mph. I would have thought that 13MPH over the speed limit would have triggered an emergency brake application in the cab.
St Pancreas preserve us.
Nice
Hi dad rail I would really like to see the marshlink line to with the 171s as I live near Hastings :)
Likewise West StLeonards is my local station
Just watched a few minutes at the beginning - KVB watches you and knows the length of the train so you dare not exceed 40 kph until all of the unit has cleared the point work leaving platform 5.
Then I normally power up to 80 kph - with the maximum permitted being 100 kph. This is because the line dips entering the tunnel approaching the high speed line. But once the TVM430 arms it’s 100 just briefly then quickly changes to 160 so you can apply full power and burst onto high speed one accelerating through 130 kph and accelerating hard despite the gradient. Just a few inaccuracies in the simulator.
Thanks David, Great info.
@@DadRail I got a question why have the train set up in KPH NOT MPH in the UK kph are used in europe ( so i thought 🤔) UK has akways used MPH so why are you using KPH ? 😠👎
@@thestig8133 HS1 the line that connects the UK to France via the channel tunnel is in KPH
8:39 I just realized 395012 trainbow just blindly passed you
The Incab radio is the same as we use in metro Melbourne
When did they come in
Is there an option for easy controls? Kinda like what the flight sim has? I wanna drive the trains but i dont wanna have to finish school for it just to be sble to play the game. Thx
Hi, what trains have you driven/currently drive?
Hi. Great video. How do I use the TVM buttons and what are they for?
Hi Paul, I’m not 100% sure what they do. At a guess I would say arm and disarm the TVM manually. I’ve certainly not found a use for them in game.
"If this is your first time then my name's Richard". What's your name if this isn't my first time?
You missed the KVB/TVM safety systems on the other panel.
I did, behind the glass door
5:41 what does the U mean above the green light?
You can activate on the German route sifa then you muss press Q for very 30 seconds and when you not sitting in the sit it brakes automatically
Sifa sifa sifa ;-)
I had a phase of playing Train Simulator but haven't played TSW. It looks pretty good. One thing I hate though is the marker thing showing distance to destination right in the middle of the windscreen. It rather breaks immersion and seems pointless. Can it be switched off?
It certainly can, as can all the other driving aids. You can select which ones you want on and off
do you think this game is great to study, systems a little and just in general as im starting a journey towards a train driver career for south eastern Hastings Depo
Its a good game to get an idea for how things work, but be aware that some of the systems are not 100% accurate.
You would want to go into a station at 50 kmh as that is equivalent to around 28 mph
Good advice thank you
@@DadRail no problem mate any time
how do you change the speed of the flycam/freecam ? i cant figure it out
Press shift
do you use a joystick or keyboard
the game only works 3/4 days a week to be in line with rail reality.
Editing on the fly! (maybe)
I can download the game of gamepass on console BUT But!! NO RAIL LINES expect the training center.. that stops me playing
Rochester Airport doesn't have controlled airspace, it's an ATZ
Thanks Matthew, it’s been a while since I checked the rules, but I think I still need permission, or in the very least to be communicating with the tower. Always best to be safe and if in doubt don’t fly about.
@@DadRail You'd still best get permission, sure
Why did you shift from passenger to freight? passengers get you the big bucks right?
The pay is comparable, although there is often more overtime in freight work so the earning potential is higher. It was more the case I fancied a change. I made a video about it, it’s in the train drivers Vlog series
Javelin*
You kept saying Doors on the Left when they are on the Right. (Twice).
Can’t tell my left from right! 😂😂😂
It's a nice game, and I enjoyed it - but the pricing for addons is borderline ripoff. I got a refund on my copy because although I enjoyed playing for an hour or so, I'm just not prepared to pay those prices for DLC
It can get very expensive after a while. Steam sales do help, you can often get the DLCs for under a fiver
How about the Accuracy of the real thing in comparison that would've actually been nice to hear about🙄
Having not driven the 395 on the mainline it would be very difficult for me to make accurate comments. If you check out my class 66 videos (a class I drive daily) you will see that I’ve done a fair amount of compare and contrast to the real thing.
225kmh =140mph 200=120mph 120kmh =75mph 100kmh =60mph 80kmh=50 60kmh=40mph 50kmh=30mph
I tested out the tpws system on the 395 377 and 375 465 and the 66 on tsw2 and they behave exactly as they do in real life missing a cancellation of the aws and the reset to put the reverser into neutral and and cancel the aws and wait the 60 seconds for the brakes to reset and release and then reset the reverser back to forward and you can continue on it doesn't cover the lesson on the tutorials on how to do it I done it once on a live streamth-cam.com/video/eesdVGLJeKA/w-d-xo.html
The AWS side of the system that you have described has always worked. The TPWS system will put the emergency brakes on if you approach red signals or speed restrictions too fast. There is no alarm with the TPWS and you don’t need to press anything. I’ve not tested it but I’m told that this now works is TSW3.
As far as I can see, no progress in the third part has improved and it is the same as the first release of this game, thanks for the video, at least I know it's a waste of money and it's just marketing without improvements.
No problem, that’s the whole point of these videos to allow people to see if the game is for them. Hopefully the devs will see these comments.
@@DadRail I have been trying to write these comments to them for several years, that they only want to extract money from people and will not bring any news, they just call it a new game in quotes, while it is also a trick to collect money. And there are a lot of such developers lately. 🤔

is this what you do with all your spare time striking? you need more money obviously as you can only afford a high spec PC as you always let us know, if you can't live on your wages, try not spending so much on a PC, try saving a little of that money.
Hi Steve, as a freight train driver working for a profitable private company that receives no government subsidies, I am pleased to say that my employer has seen fit to offer me suitable remuneration, whilst maintaining a healthy profit, paying dividends and contributing to the exchequer. This has been achieved without industrial action. Thanks to the Tory policies of high wage society and trickle down economics, I am pleased to say that I pay a large amount each month in tax as does my wife who works for the NHS, furthering the benefit to the exchequer. Thanks to our wages I am able to further contribute to the economy by being able to pay for childcare, helping to support my local nursery and their staff. I am able to pay for a window cleaner and man to clean my wheelie bin, I am able to eat in local restaurants and support local business, such as my local computer shop, all of which employ staff and pay taxes furthering the benefit to the exchequer, I also have a private pension and private healthcare meaning my personal burden on the state is reduced.
I am able to do this because my profitable employer sees fit to pay me a good wage. In return I work hard to support that company and go above and beyond when it’s required. Industrial action was not required and was not even considered. My salary and my job has nothing but positive effects on the wider economy.

Shame about the mid stream adverts 🙁👎
I feel your pain, but that is how YT makes money. (I get about 0.5%) same as watching commercial TV.
@@DadRail You! are the one who chose these settings. Not TH-cam.
Pure greed!
@@mrplod1616 Sorry for my greed. What a world we live in when content creators like to get something back for their time and effort. We should totally work for free.
@@DadRail How sad 😕 You will be telling me next that you do it out of a sense of duty. So, that you can put more money into the local community by dining out at restaurants (that don't exploit the minimum wage, of course), putting more into the exchequer and your private pension fund, so that you are not a burden on the state like millions of other pensioners!
@@mrplod1616 What sanctimonious bs Mr Plod. Might I suggest not watching his streams if it gets your panties in a wad that much?
By all means do all the extra videos you like but how about you leave your head out of them.
I'm outa here.
