The West Coast Main Line was built by many smaller companies during the birth of the railway era, but plans to bypass Birmingham via the Trent Valley Line materialised with that section’s opening in 1847. This line provided a more direct route for both passenger and goods trains from London to the north of England through Rugby, Lichfield and Stafford.
Electrification in the 1960s saw the introduction of high-speed trains along the WCML, and following major modernisation works in the early 2000s, allowed for servces to tilt their way along at full chat; 125mph.
Explore Train Sim World’s longest point-to-point UK route to date as you traverse a total of 108 statute miles between Milton Keynes and Crewe, while aboard some of the most modern trains on Britain’s network, including the Avanti West Coast BR Class 807 ‘Evero’.
The BR Class 807 is part of the AT300 family - which since 2017 - has been established as the mainstay traction for long-distance services between England, Wales and Scotland. Avanti West Coast’s ‘Evero’ is the latest innovation of the fleet, featuring a familiar shell, but with a much more ergonomic interior, refined cab, optimised kitchen space, and comfortable first class section, with the rest of the train prioritising a much-welcomed capacity upgrade on the WCML. The Class 807, unlike its counterpart - the Class 805, is a 7-car, electric-only addition to the fleet.
Supporting alongside is the Class 350/4. With the 4th and final subclass joining the ranks, call at all local stations in both Warwickshire and Staffordshire before joining additional traffic at Stafford. Then open the throttle and race to historic Crewe.
With layers (each available separately) unleash the power of the Pendolino by enjoying the 108-mile stretch at uninterrupted full-tilt speeds, get more traffic with the Avanti West Coast BR Class 805 ‘Evero’ and other Class 350 subclasses from other WCML routes. Route hop to London - Milton Keynes for the ultimate Capital to Cheshire journey.
