About This Content One of the busiest commuter routes through the UK’s capital city is stunningly recreated for Train Simulator in this new route add-on.The North London Line spans approximately 17 miles between Richmond and Stratford, and is today part of the London Overground network. The line is a heavy commuter route with trains every 15 minutes, and also a key corridor for freight traffic, connecting the inner suburbs north of London. Despite the line’s short length, the route is almost entirely dense inter-urban railway, with trains taking more than one hour to traverse the route when calling at all 23 stations.Built over a total of 25 years in five connecting sections, the first portion of the line was opened as the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway in 1846 between Stratford and North Woolwich, with the last portion opening in 1869 between South Acton and Richmond by the London & South Western Railway.The 1980s started to see closures across the line, the most notable being the closure of Broad Street station, a once major terminus for the City of London that became a dwindling station with very few passengers. Other notable closures on the line included the Tottenham Hale to Stratford link, and more recently the section between Stratford and North Woolwich in 2006. Where that track once stood is now used by the Docklands Light Railway and will also become part of the Crossrail branch to Abbey Wood in 2018.The line is electrified mostly with 25kV AC overhead catenary between Stratford and Acton Central, made so that dual voltage Class 313s could use the line and also open it up to electric freight locomotives. The section between Acton Central and Richmond sees third rail power, and between Gunnersbury and Richmond there is also a fourth rail as the London Overground and District Line shares this stretch of the network.Today the line is populated by Class 378/2 ‘Capitalstars’ forming the London Overground services, D78 Tube Stock for District Line services between Richmond and Gunnersbury, and Class 66s, 70s, 90s and 92s hauling freight.The North London Line for Train Simulator recreates the 17 mile route as it operates today between Richmond in the South West of London and Stratford in the North East, with the track curving in a rough semicircle shape to avoid the centre of London. The route includes standard British LED signalling throughout and the modern TfL Class 378 ‘Capitalstar’.ScenariosSeven scenarios for the route:Coming From ClaphamQuattro ServiceLate for Work!Stratford Slurry: Part 1Stratford Slurry: Part 2Early Morning RunCamden ShowersMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

Had the issue with the 378 not showing up, easily fixed by running a Steam verification of the game files. Also, it helped to close and restart Steam, the missing 378 then showed up. So recommend the route and the 59.. I actually bought this route after the class 378 is fixed. This route is packed with detailed scenery and stations and comes with a updated Class 378 with two versions of it. One is 4 car and a 5 car varient which will say "5 Car Train".There are certain parts of the scenarios that the game won't document the time when you arrive at some stations and the second time it will, which is my main concern that it can give me late penalties. I didn't had to clear the cache or tick the box so I didn't believe that its broken by the first time I had tried it. Since this route is at the capital in the UK, there can be a lack of traffic in some scenarios.Overall good route and loco that I would give this 9\/10.. This is, and I admit it, a flawed route, however for only 17 miles it does provide some variety. I bought this with the 59\/2 in the sale, and it has come out with a satisfying result. Pros -~Generally slow speeds make for an interesting experience~Mostly entertaining scenarios~Somewhat accurate train models (I have read a few complaining about how the 5 car 378s have no logo, however they are my local train and i can confirm most of the logos have been removed)~interesting scenes and gamplayCons -~Route occasionally dumps~Level crossing models are horribly inaccurate~59 sounds are innacurate (no sound pack either :s)~378 default sounds are innacurate and annoying (I have the electrostar sound pack from AP, if you hate default sounds i recommend installing that)Other notes -~378 does not load (I did not have this problem, however others have. I believe I avoided it because I already had the 378 DLC for the south london networkOverall I give this route a 6\/10, flawed at best but still worth a try. There are some people who have problems with this DLC due to an update for the 378 not loading.This can be fixed by removing all files of the 378, and letting Steam re-install a clean version of it. (Quite likely that when you have this problem, you installed a modpack for the 378, or unpacked it's files with RWTools).When that problem is solved, this is a very nice route. It's short, but well built with complex railway infrastructure and densely built up, and the scenery is very varied from old town London to countryside to modern urban redevelopment.As delivered the scenarios do not have a lot of AI traffic, but this is already being rectified with workshop scenarios.Despite that I am enjoying the scenarios very much. There's a lot of speed changes and signals to keep you on your toes and always something to look at.Ultimately this route will also be part of a larger network linked up with South London Network, Bedford Middland Mainline, and London to Brighton, which will greatly enhance the appeal of this route!(That project is being worked on by Danny, who already published several routes combining Munich area routes, and the combined South London Network with London to Brighton).. An eagerly anticipated route on my part and most likely by many others as well, and doesn't disappoint.Although at first the price seems a bit steep for what is essentially a fairly short route, the level of detail is excellent and in many parts is as close as you could expect to real life within the confines of the current game engine. The shortness in distance in somewhat made up for by the comparatively longer time it takes you to drive end to end, over an hour for around 17 miles, and the frequent stopping and constantly changing speed limits keep you on your toes. The route itself plays host to a wide range of traffic from freight to coaching stock movements, and of course the Overground service, as can already be seen by the variety in the Workshop scenarios, so generally something for everyone unless high speed express services are your thing.However, for the price I would have expected a bit more route, such as the branch down to Clapham Junction via Shepherd's Bush or the Gospel Oak to Barking line. One slight annoyance as well is what seems to me to be fairly long dwell times at stations for a service of this sort, and the lack of Driver Only Operation which I believe is used now on the Overground.Hopefully at some point there will be the opportunity for this to be merged with other routes such as the GEML or South London Network to give an even greater array of potential scenarios. With the Waggonz \/ Armstrong Powerhouse class 313 in development this has the potential to be a truly fantastic route.. The reason is that the the class 378 DON'T WORK NO MORE like even when i run it it say "error" so don't buy it it is a death trap. It's an ok route. It could be better and it can get a bit boring at times but overall, it's ok. Just buy it when its on offer.. Personally I don't think that the route is worth \u00a324.99 based on the fact it's only 17 miles long, however on the basis of the detail that has gone into this route then I would certainly say it's worth every penny. The stations you stop at are detailed perfectly right down to the little fine points. Overall I would give this route a 9 out of 10.. I feel there could have been alot more work put into the route, Maybe a bit more detailing or the sounds on the Class 378 could have be changed to something more than copied 377 sounds! But yes. I would recommened the route it is linear though and once you have driven both ways once or twice it gets a bit boring! There is not really room for scenario creators as the only scenarios you can make is Richmond to Stratford. There is also not alot to do apart from open doors, speed up to 45mph max before slowing down 10 seconds later for the next stop!. I am totally impressed with this route, the scenery, roads, buildings etc are extremely well modelled. I love the Graffitti.
