Description

Explore stunning Firth of Forth and south Fife territory with the always-busy Fife Circle Line for Train Simulator!

The Fife Circle Line is formed of 2 principle routes, the Edinburgh - Aberdeen Line and the Loop Line, with connections at Inverkeithing and Kirkcaldy allowing for trains to run point-to-point services both starting and terminating at Edinburgh. Services on the route used to be 2 separate local services, but they were joined together after a link at Dunfermline was reopened in 1989.

With the completion of the circle, enhancements to the line soon followed. New stations were built to give communities back their rail services and to increase connectivity to Edinburgh Airport, and in more recent years, ScotRail boosted capacity in the peak hours with the introduction of loco-hauled trains, powered by the modern BR Class 68s.

The highlight of any Fife Circle train is the opportunity to cross the striking and instantly recognisable Forth Rail Bridge, which spans 1.5 miles and carries the railway high over the Firth of Forth. Such iconic experiences twinned with ever-bustling Scottish rail operations - the perfect blend that you can explore in Train Simulator!

I'm a Fifer, born and bred, and I've been travelling on this route for many years now. Suffice it to say that I'm pretty familiar with the route and its environs. On the whole, it's a reasonably decent stab at

Gave some Scenarios for this Line ago, and honestly, I have had the most fun I have ever had in this game. I loved the scenery and line (its my local!). I really enjoyed driving the 68 for the first time! I do think you

Here's my two cents worth, the rolling stock is rubbish, the cab view in the 158 is appalling with clipped textures and missing bits all over the place. The buildings are flat as pee on a plate, there's no castle in

I wouldn't buy this content on its own, when it is cheaper just to buy Train Simulator 2021. I am actually disappointed with the content. Edinburgh looks Flat plus there is no Castle, a land mark that is very visible

This was the first route I played as it came with the base game at the time and I still enjoy playing it to this day. The scenery is pretty accurate and the graphics/detail are good. Some of the passenger graphics are a
