Description
One of England’s most important main line railways comes to Train Simulator, joining the UK’s capital city with the Home Counties commuter towns to Bedford.
The Midland Main Line was built in stages between the 1830s and the 1870s, and originated as three railway lines which met at the Tri Junct Station in Derby, which were later to become the Midland Railway. However, it was not until 1868 that the Midland Railway had a direct link to the UK’s capital, when a line was opened from Bedford to St Pancras, via Luton. The final stretch of what is considered to be the modern Midland Main Line was a relatively short bypass around Sheffield, which opened in 1870.
Today, the Midland Main Line connects London with town and cities in the heart of England, including Luton, Bedford, Kettering, Leicester, Derby and Chesterfield, and since the closure of the rival Great Central Main Line in the 1960s, has been the only direct main line rail link between the Capital and the East Midlands.
The route carries a significant volume of long distance and local passenger services, with express passenger services operated by East Midlands Trains, alongside a large amount of freight traffic, including intermodal and stone aggregate trains.
The Midland Main Line: London-Bedford route for Train Simulator covers the 55 mile (88km) Thameslink section of the route from London St Pancras to Bedford, via Luton Airport – more commonly known as the ‘BedPan’ line – as it is today.
Features of the route include the spectacular London St Pancras station and freight terminals at Cricklewood Freight Facility, Radlett Stone Terminal, Elstow Aggregates Terminal at Bedford St Johns and a cement facility on the outskirts of London St Pancras.
Also included is a First Capital Connect Class 319 EMU and EWS Class 66 diesel locomotive, along with PGA stone wagons, PCA bulk powder wagons, FSA/FTA container wagons.
Seven scenarios for the route:

Do not buy if you are expecting any accuracy! Been waiting for this DLC for quite some time. During "rush hour" scenarios i'd be lucky to pass 5 other services on the line... that should be tripple. Most of the signals

The Midland Main Line. It had the potential to be such a good route but the choice of trains put it into the OK category. The Route: The level of detail is good. For scenario makers, there are enough portals ; for

Again, this is another instance where we really need a third 'neutral' option to rate something with so to clarify, I'll say this. It is worth a thumbs up IF bought in a sale or as part of a package. On its own for full

Most parts of the route that I proposed were true. (The article was removed unfortunately due to Engine Driver being on the new trainsimulator.com website) This is a another Thameslink part of the route. With the Class

The route it self is a bit short but still a good route, You get everything from Freight and slow commuter services to fast intercity services on this route. It is even better if you get the FCC 377 and HST with EMT
