Well I've had some spare time over the last few days so decided to blow the dust off this old game and start a UK style scenario. Not sure if many remember this game or still got it but I'm finding it very addictive and trying to squeeze in a hour a week. Anyway it's 1976 so onto the screenshots!
British Rail have recently launched a new NSE brand for the commuter services around Coalhampton, the capital. Here trains are seen running on 3rd rail serving the city of Castleborough running alongside the newly constructed Airport Express line which is due into operation within the next 5 years.
The mining industry is booming and many private investors are catching onto this with heavy cash flows being pumped into infrastructure. Here a Class 87 is seen loading Iron Ore before heading onto the mainline.
Many of the upgrades can be seen at the Burton Coal Mines with a diesel minecart system running through deep slopes before meeting with the interchange. Overhead self-loading facilities are being installed to speed up the loading however disputes with unions are currently being undertaken since this will result in the loss of OHLE through these lines.
Brightchester is the Northern hub for the rail network with mainline services terminating here. Here seen is the Highland depot which is used to service the freight wagons and store snow clearing tools for the winter season. Class 37s run the passenger services serving the remote regions of the Far North with a lifeline.
The ski resort of Mt Seaview has one of the last remaining gravity assisted cliff railways in the country and has proved to be a tourist attraction in its own right. In light of this, the local council of Beachville has extended the tram network to serve the cliff railway to form Mt Seaview Parkway.
Transport for Coalhampton has noticed the need for a rapid transport system so has created an underground rail network to serve the city through a loop and with commuter services to nearby towns. Here is an A-Stock surface train serving the towns while a tube train emerges from the Coalhampton loop.
Middlesbury is a growing town being served by Intercity trains and commuter rail services. Services are expected to expand following the recent introduction of high speed trains and the much anticipated ATP.
Woodlands is the main depot servicing the rail network for all stock. Hidden away is remains of the old Pullman service which is being replaced with new ATP trains due in the next few years and an increase in Push-Pull express trains. An MPV is seen entering the depot following recent engineering works for the new Eurotunnel project to increase coal flows.
The next 10 years are looking to be promising with the introduction of ATP, Airport Express and a mining boom. Industrial action has been discussed following new government policy to privatise many public sectors.
