description Route Description
Across a 54-mile network, modern Northern commuter services branch out from the busy cities of Leeds and Bradford towards Skipton and Ilkley. The route is more than a single railway from A to B, with LNER expresses and heavy quarry freight adding variety to the rails. You'll encounter 19 detailed stations ranging from major city hubs to smaller stops nestled among Yorkshire's rolling countryside.
Making its debut is the Northern BR Class 331, putting the modern electric fleet at the heart of commuter operations. Express yourself with the LNER BR Class 801 Azuma bringing long-distance traffic into the mix. You'll also take charge of the BR Class 66 and work full-length freight services along the network, including limestone traffic from Rylstone Quarry to Leeds Aggregate Terminal.
The Deluxe Edition brings one of Yorkshire's most recognisable commuter trains, the Northern BR Class 333, with its unmistakable fishbowl-style cab. The route includes a diverse Timetable Mode with 260 playable services and support for upcoming compatible add-ons like the BR Class 158 and Class 70.
