Train Sim World 4 has been a revelation since its release last year. Train spotters and fans of simulation titles have lost hours of their lives to this ultra-realistic game. Furthermore, with plenty of routes to explore and a vast range of trains to drive, there is plenty to keep you busy. Consequently, you may shrug when I announce the release of a new Train Sim World 4 DLC. The Gospel Oak to Barking Line addition allows players to enjoy a section of the London Overground.
Lovingly nicknamed the Goblin, this route traverses some famous sites and has been running for 150 years. Accordingly, you’ll pass through 7 unique boroughs of North and East London. This route forms part of the TfL’s initiative to simplify the London Overground. As such, you’ll note that it is part of the Suffragette line to honour the 20th-century movement. This name change will not impact the gameplay. Instead, the acknowledgement from the developers enhances the level of realism.
Some details of the Train Sim World 4 DLC.
An Aventra Adventure awaits in Train Sim World 4! Discover the dense North & East London boroughs aboard modern traction. Furthermore, you’ll traverse a newly electrified and extended line fit for future riverside services. Become something of a London Overground driver yourself and conquer the pumpkin-orange passenger duties of the Suffragette line: Gospel Oak – Barking Riverside.
150 years in the making; the Gospel Oak to Barking Line was happenstance-constructed through the means of multiple companies building adjacent lines. As links, junctions and various termini were built and changed, this meandering route through no less than 7 of North & East London’s boroughs took shape as a vital strategic railway, albeit not a well-looked-after one.
Once earmarked for closure, and allowed to be rundown into disarray, Transport for London (TfL) took the line under their wing alongside other routes in 2007 when London Overground was launched to transform them into lines fit for the future. State-of-the-art throughout, the line from Gospel Oak is now an electrified, high-density passenger route, making use of the brand-new Class 710 Aventra, while also still leaving space for freight as part of the National Rail network.
Where can I buy it?
The Train Sim World 4 DLC is available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. This exceptional add-on will test your patience and your ability to work in high-pressure locations. Subsequently, you can experience the hustle and bustle of London life whilst helping every commuter and tourist explore our wonderful capital.
