This is fairly accurate scenery-wise as this is my local line... It's a strange feeling seeing this part of London digitally when I've lived there most of my life! Love the videos Squirrel
In the US we'd call it a soccer "field." "Pitch" is almost never used over here. When you're looking from the outside and have the HUD up, there is a visual notification of the alarm, it's the box that's normally a grey exclamation point there. Hearing it would definitely be nicer, but it does change to black and yellow stripes when it goes off.
+Dominic London The North London Line is part of London Overground, it refers to the route, much like the East Coast Main Line being part of the National Rail network.
They haven't completely removed the aquatics centre, they just took off the ugly extra side pieces as the extra seating was surplus to requirements. Great video as always!
Worked over this route with freight for 40 years. Initially went via Gospel Oak, Junction Road Jctn and Tottenham to Temple Mills and Stratford. This looks pretty good.
I checked a tube map, it does indeed appear as an overground station. However, that logo at the station wasn't the Tube logo, it was the overground logo because it had orange. The "roundel" as the logo is known is the iconic logo for Transport for London, with different colours for each. For example, Overground is orange, Underground is red, and Tramlink is green, but they all have the blue bar on the round ring of a different colour. Little thing about Stratford too, Stratford station and Stratford International are separate stations, though personally I think they should be linked for better connectivity. Yes, you did hear a cat too :P. Great video once again, and well done on the Gold, or GLOD as some people like to call it, they will know who they are ;)
+Fringe Stalin Certainly wasn't excessive, Fringe. :-) The roundel does now seem to be the general symbol for TfL in general, changing colours whether it is the Tube, Overground, DLR, buses etc. How you doing btw, haven't spoke for a while.
Paul, If you didn't know, the 2 beeps you here after the doors close, it is a signal buzzer which means that the train manager/door manager has checked that the doors are closed and no other passengers are getting on. You have to respond to that by the key command or on the button on the interior so the driver knows that he is cleared for departure.
Squirrel you got it wrong! The 'Pringle' was actually the aquatics centre and it was not the one removed :D I go there twice a week. Mostly though, was enjoyable watching your commentary through the areas and stations that i always come through. Homerton is actually a place for Homerton Hospital and Hackney Wick had a massive bakery next to the station before. Do more of the London vids!
I like the challenging runs because it keeps you on your toes. I'd like to see some more. Even if you fail I think it could be funny to watch. Less challenging runs are good for story time, though. Both are nice.
Squirrel. The aquatics centre in the Olympic park is still there but all they did was remove the extra seating on the outside. It cost around £3 and you can go and swim in the pool
The overground is an amalgamation of former lines to form a sort of M25 as the mayor called it of inner London rail. The depot whistle is by request of TfL who own the line to sound when entering the depot, and to signal to platform staff when there's an issue. The tube trains have this whistle as standard but not common place on BR lines.
Soccer field* ... We in North America only use "pitch" in the verb forms of: -To set something up (pitch a tent) -To throw something out (He pitched the baseball to the batter) (pitch the idea to a boss) .... And the noun forms of: -Resin, tar.
After the previous station you said that you would go on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line, you don't go on that branch line at all (only in the morning peak hours from Woodgrange Park to Willesden Junction you use the curve of track) The next station on the North London Line is Kentish Town West just to be clear.
I've just been researching and found out that the overground used to go to Broad street, Woolwich and it also had a route via primrose hill (I think thats the name). For example, London Overground used to be known as the West London Line, East London Line (previously run by the metropolitan line), the south london line, which was run by southern and still sees southeastern trains to this day and the North London Line, which was run by silverlink metro. When the overground came into effect, it used to be run by class 313s in three car units until the 378/0s came in. From there all trains were extended to 4 cars, now being /1s and 2s. The /1s didn't have pantographs fitted so they served the east london line whereas the /2s did have pantographs fitted to served the services up to stratford from Richmond and clapham junction. In 2012 the east london line was extended from surrey quays to clapham junction via denmark hill and this was when the 5 car units started operation and to this day, all overground trains with 378s running are 5 car units. In 2015, the overground took over some routes in the north eg. Romford to Upminster, liverpool street to enfield and cheshunt etc. Today overground are electrifying the goblin line and bringing back the overgrown platforms for the new trains which are replacing the 172s.
Never knew these simulators existed, really realistic! Love the windscreen wiper and rain drops. Must be a boon to training drivers assuming these things are accurate to real trains and routes? Came here after an article about Eye Tracking that I understand you (Squirrel) use?
just to say you wouldn't turn off on the other tracks at 18:12 because that joins on to the start of the GOBLIN LINE gospel oak to barking route London overground line and trains of the north London line don't go that way and i used this station back in the day and i still remember it...
Wick is most likely to come from Old English 'wic' (itself coming from Old German 'vic' and actually originated from Latin 'vicus') for 'village' :) Great video btw
The line at West Hampstead and Finchley Road & Frognall are completely different stations from the tube West Hampstead is 100m from each other with a Thameslink station 200m away and Finchley Road & Frognall are 5 mins walk from Finchley Road tube station. There are plans to have a walkway between West Hampstead tube, overground and Thameslink stations.
LOL. D.C. Metro train engineers brake at the last minute and put the trains on full throttle from a stop, so it is a very rough ride and it is sure to wake you up. I wonder how people fall asleep on the Metro.
FYI the word wick and also placename suffixes -wick or -wich derive from Old English wīc. Meanings vary but usually is either farm, salt mine or a place where goods are bought and sold. In the case of London most of the wicks were either farms or riverside landing places, seems in the case of Hackney Wick the former is the more likely origin.
there would have been so much scenario potential if dtg included the GOBLN, east london and west london lines to the route then it would be worth the £24.99 if they did it for the south london network and weardale and teesdale, they could have easily made the whole london overground.
+squirrel nice vid but i'm afraid what you called 'the pringle' is actually the aquatics centre which i'm afraid you wrongly stated got taken down. It absolutely hasn't because I went there this year!
I wonder if there'll be a crossrail and gospel oak to barking line DLC, even though it would need the class 345 for crossrail and the 172 for the GOBLIN, and I'm not sure if trainsim can handle platform edge doors
love your vids just started to watch em :D you make me Laugh so hard but you teach alot to learn bout the game itself and thats what i love thank you :D rob
The Worlds End in Camden is cool but its soo over priced, I paid £9 for a vodka redbull! The toilets where flooded, it was disgusting! Koko was awesome though, expensive drinks and they only had sparkling water and I was thirsty because I was sweating so bad.
+Barney Murray I think the Pringle is indeed the Velodrome. Not sure what nickname the Aquatic Centre got, but think it is supposed to look like a wave.
Squirrel, can you do London Liverpool Street to Shenfield or Shenfield to London Liverpool Street using TFL Rail? That'll be another commuting route for you to do =D
to your tower crane question often get build up during the night in London has the road get closed for the mobile crane to come in and lift the parts and the trailers to park
Oh, and you went on the usual tracks at Gospel Oak. The others are the Gospel Oak - Barking Line, and is diesel only, so the 378s wouldn't be able to go there.

4 years later it's still feels good to see the station I see every morning outside my window in a video game. Homerton.
Those rain graphics on the windshield...amazing! This game is so awesome.

20:20 it was a cat
+Matthew Miller 22:40 and yet again.
idk. ts is just too expensive, so i wouldn't know.
no
no what?
8:09 it’s over here too listen carefully
It's now called London Overground.
+Dominic London The North London Line is part of London Overground, it refers to the route, much like the East Coast Main Line being part of the National Rail network.
+Dominic London it is called london overground
it is London Overground
It is called the London Overground
08:21. That line which you said. Is the Gospel Oak to Barking line. It uses the class 172. Part of the Overground
yep, that's the Barking line on the left. weird seeing my 'local' stations in a sim! :-o
They haven't completely removed the aquatics centre, they just took off the ugly extra side pieces as the extra seating was surplus to requirements.
Great video as always!

#fringedoeshisresearch
Well, it appears that my research has got some appreciation... either that or it was a bit excessive. Oh well, glad to be informative nevertheless...
Fringe Stalin it used to be white on the tube map aswell
+Fringe Stalin Certainly wasn't excessive, Fringe. :-)
The roundel does now seem to be the general symbol for TfL in general, changing colours whether it is the Tube, Overground, DLR, buses etc.
How you doing btw, haven't spoke for a while.
MontytheHorse I suppose it's somewhat alright I guess Monty. Yourself?
Reused cab and sounds from the 377, well done dovetail.

Ahh it's the London Overground network, very cool! Might grab this for myself 😊
Squirrel. The aquatics centre in the Olympic park is still there but all they did was remove the extra seating on the outside. It cost around £3 and you can go and swim in the pool
Actually in America it would be a "Soccer field". "Pitch" is never used to describe a sporting ground.
+OneManArmy Yeah, same here in Canada. Never heard it called a pitch here, always a field.
+Jamania Over where?
Jamania Rarely? I think you meant never.
+Jamania up in Scotland, "ground" is quite common, Pronounced "fitbaw grund"
Michael Kennedy Over here, in Northern Ireland, we would refer to multiple pitches, for example a football club, as football grounds.
the pringle : London aquatics centre : still there, hasn't been removed

sorry i meant 8:04 ha ha ha my mistake
Dude, it's England and it's raining.. OF COURSE IT'S SUMMER! :)
Awesome run. I plan on doing the run soon. Thanks for pointing out some of the landmarks
Wic, Wick and Wich at the end of a place name usually means 'Village' or Town' from Old English with origins into Old German language.
If you use the expanded hud, the AWS has a visual alarm as well as auditory.
I heard the cat sound too lol. And yes it's west ham that will be moving to the Olympic stadium next year. Keep up the good work mate!
It's called the London Overground
Introduced in 2007
a very interesting insight and history about parts of the uk i enjoyed that great vid
Never knew these simulators existed, really realistic! Love the windscreen wiper and rain drops. Must be a boon to training drivers assuming these things are accurate to real trains and routes? Came here after an article about Eye Tracking that I understand you (Squirrel) use?
Ahh yes, the north London line. It was how I got to and from my apartment near hackney central during my visit a few months ago
Squirrel, the tour guide!
I immediatly looked outside the window to see if our cats were outside.But only one time LOL
20:36 never gets old
When you were talking about houses in london your not wrong some of those basic looking houses cost well over £1m which is insane.
just to say you wouldn't turn off on the other tracks at 18:12 because that joins on to the start of the GOBLIN LINE gospel oak to barking route London overground line and trains of the north London line don't go that way and i used this station back in the day and i still remember it...
Wick is most likely to come from Old English 'wic' (itself coming from Old German 'vic' and actually originated from Latin 'vicus') for 'village' :) Great video btw
You can't have a good stop unless the all the doors are open lol :)
30:25 hackney wick is very industrial so a candle factory is most likely.
The signs are the same as the tube sign but the red circle is replaced with an orange circle, the same orange as on the train.
Great video! Very realistic and is improved 👍🚉

Goddammit Squirrel! Stop hitting the cats sitting on the tracks!! ;P

I actually live on that Line, Homerton Station it is, looks great, good work thanks squirrel :)
I past this station on my way from London to Huntingdon on my school trip to the Natinial history museum

Wick is like -wich, right? a village?
Great job Squirrel....thanks for sharing.
8:00 The pitch is right after coldfall woods
+squirrel nice vid but i'm afraid what you called 'the pringle' is actually the aquatics centre which i'm afraid you wrongly stated got taken down. It absolutely hasn't because I went there this year!
You're not the only one who heard that car
It is even raining into the passengers waggon.
What's up, Out Of Sight! cent dapper !!!
West ham united are moving into it, Paul.
That passenger looks like Sips from the Yogscast lol
Hopefully the passenger animations might be more OMSI when unreal comes out, I mean if OMSI devs can do it (smaller team) sure dovetail can do it!
That passenger looks like Zidane the ex french footballer squirrel lol.
it goes to richmond with the Districtline starting at Gunersbry
Squirrel, the S sign means to stop there
My local overground stations are Kilburn High Road and Brondesbury
Is it normal to be addicted to your videos ? :-)
+Gamerguy_YT I'm addicted to his videos as well!
+Gamerguy_YT When you get to know him, its only normal. He is awesome
how do you move the camera inside the locomotive so you can use the controls instead of using those that are on the bottom of the screen?
Any platform where any part of the train is passed the 'S' sign is not a good stop. It does not open the front carriage doors.
I wonder if there'll be a crossrail and gospel oak to barking line DLC, even though it would need the class 345 for crossrail and the 172 for the GOBLIN, and I'm not sure if trainsim can handle platform edge doors
This isn't the London Underground. It's the Overground. But good vid anyway squirrel
That was great!
Nice commentary too!
20:37 Now change the name: from "Squirrel" to "Cat"
you killed the cat 😮😮😮
I did hear the cat too!
The headlight controls were pretty weird. I noticed you put them on wrong with one main on and then a smaller second light on
What key is the brake on trains like the 378 and the DB BR 101
awesome vid Paul!!
p.s. i did hear the cat... :-D
Cat Confirmed
love your vids just started to watch em :D you make me Laugh so hard but you teach alot to learn bout the game itself and thats what i love thank you :D rob

+Lucas Vander-Bartlett The Worlds End toilets literally look and smell like the world ended.
I wish the London overground can get class 345s
Ughhhh, the "Pringle" building is actually where the swimming and diving events were NOT cycling. HELLO??
+Barney Murray I think the Pringle is indeed the Velodrome. Not sure what nickname the Aquatic Centre got, but think it is supposed to look like a wave.
+Barney Murray Hi, how are you!
I know im late but is there a way to only be passenger and let it drive itself or someone other drives it and you are just a passenger?
great video as always
Squirrel, can you do London Liverpool Street to Shenfield or Shenfield to London Liverpool Street using TFL Rail? That'll be another commuting route for you to do =D
i went to stratford its a beautiful place and a good place for shopping
to your tower crane question often get build up during the night in London has the road get closed for the mobile crane to come in and lift the parts and the trailers to park
I live in Stratford.... I use to take this train everyday to homerton to work
I travel on this line every day. Goddamn Gospel Oak
Oh, and you went on the usual tracks at Gospel Oak. The others are the Gospel Oak - Barking Line, and is diesel only, so the 378s wouldn't be able to go there.

if this was in real life, i could've just walked to the next station
Exactly like North London
I like the new west midland trains
Could you do a scenario where it includes Willesden Junction?
I would spend £3,000+ on all Train Simulator DLC :D
How do you get the rain effect on the windows?
DTG should rebuild this route for TSW in my opinion 👍
when i play train sim i cant here the tannoy call out the station calling points? i cant here " platform X for the service to ..." how do i fix this?
London overground is part of transport for London (TFL) london underground is part of is also like tramlink,london buses
