West Coast Express Part 1: London to Birmingham - Add-On for MS Train Simulator (PC CD)

I'm afraid this is the usual story for First Class simulations. Excellent in most parts but completely let down by the lack of attention to detail and quite impossible timetables. Stations, otherwise excellent, are completely let down by the total lack of any other trains on any of the platforms. Also let down by the relatively few other moving trains en route and the total lack of moving freight traffic. At one stage you even have to cross a level crossing with traffic on it!! Could be so much better!

Good, though the liveries look a bit out of date.

ok but ts trains is much much better

did not work just so hard what to do

Ok.

No activities start or end at Watford Junction for some reason because the siverlink metro line is featured, and they don't start at Northampton or Milton Keynes Central, There is a HST on diversion to Northampton in one of the activities, and there is some extra platforms at the north side of the station that do not exist, the 390's were not in intercity livery, they were in virgin where they came out, They also haven't featured the class 221 super voyager, but in other expansion packs they had virgin 220's because they were cross country routes, the 321's are a problem because they keep emerging into themselves. the HST's 47's 86's 87's and 90's were in intercity, also there is a very rare underground 1972 stock, from Queen's Park to Harrow & Wealdstone in some of the activities, virgin services do not stop at Harrow & Wealdstone or Hemel Hempstead in reality, but good addon anyway

As I type this review many moons after purchasing the software..I still get the feeling that when I initially bought the product; that there was something just not quite right.As a native of the Birmingham area...it was mainly in this area I felt needed improvement. The modelling, considering the age of MSTS is superb never the less. I would recommend buying this product with the other parts as it will give you more enjoyment of the area as a whole.However, a good and well put together product. Would recommend to a MSTS enthusiast.

the game is very good. i love it. although it would be much better with frieght or different trains. as there is only the pendilino, HST, and class 321 to drive. there are underground trains which you can`t drive. also if there was more trains running past and around you during the missions. there are only 10 missions to do. also when in the stations like birmingham new street and london euston there could be more trains in the station. on the whole the game is very good and i reccomend it to everyone.
