I use this route to go to school every day and I’ve gotta say the graphics are so realistic!!!

Another great video Pete! Had a holiday on the Norfolk Broads in the 80s and had to collect the boat from Brundall. Nice to see the station hasn't really changed! Looking forward to seeing the route via Berney Arms... We moored our boat there and walked for miles to find the station (a wooden platform!) to catch the train in to Great Yarmouth! Had to wave to get train to stop and tell the guard on way back!

i live in Lowestoft its 100% spot on

Great to see you doing this route, i'm enjoying it myself. Love the signals in it, pure nostalgia! Nice choice of train too, I think we're all getting bored of the 37, nice though it is.

I love this video just found it and even though i can't understand most of the train speak the graphics are SPOT ON seriously it's unreal how accurate this is brilliant job on this video

Nice video, thanks. The more I see of this route the more I want to buy it. The sheer amount of different stock (03, 08, 20 , 25, 31, 37, 40, 47, 101, 105) you could run on it without them looking too out of place is one of the things that attracts me to it. Thanks again.

I like the 150 class and amazing video PTGRail

The incline approach to Reedham Swing Bridge starts just after the bridge, where at one time there was a planned triangle to Great Yarmouth. Although the ground works were dug out, whether track was ever laid there is moot. If memory serves from my signalling days on this line, after getting up to speed from Somerleyton (LAYton not LEAton) you can turn off the power and coast all the way to Oulton Broad North. Leaving it on power 4 would not only waste fuel, you'd almost certainly not keep to within the speed limit.

Excellent video PTG, At first glance thought it was a Class 156 haha, good video still that I love.

Your videos are huge ASMR triggers for me, so thank you really much!

Great video! Love this route, used to travel along the Wherry lines frequently when I was younger, as well as the Bittern line (the one diverging towards Cromer/Sheringham)! Would love to see that line created for train simulator one day :)

Fun Fact: Trains only stop at Buckenham on Weekends. Saturdays have 1 trains to Norwich and 2 to Lowestoft. Sunday has 3 to Norwich and 3 to Great Yarmouth. 5 trains during the summer in each direction. So like Tees Side Airport station it gets sod all.

As always, fantasic vid!

Another brilliant video, Peter, both in clarity of images and your commentary. I will be very interested to see your videos on the new route out of Paddington, my local line for more than 30 years. There have only been two types of DMUs in that time: the green ones lasted until Thames Trains gained the franchise on privatisation in the early 1990s and brought in the 165s and 166s. The Sprinters and their developments passed us by.Many thanks, Roger Crick

A distant signal can only be pulled off when all home and starting signals (including the advanced starter -section signal) are cleared through the station / block post ahead. Therefore this is why a terminus only ever has a fixed distant - however many home signals might be at green, ultimately you always reach the stop blocks which are in themselves the ultimate red signal. It drives me NUTS when you drive a train sim route and get a cleared distant approaching a terminus, as this implies the route is clear through the booking office and into the car park / high street beyond!

As usual Very nice videos keep up the good work i had hours and hours of blast watching your videos

In my opinion a perfect route for the 150!

Whatttt, the accuracy is so good

Loved the video, the jointed track sounds are great. So soothing! 😊 Two little things: Somerleyton is pronounced Summer-lay-ton. Second you were a wee bit rough with the controls. When notching up the power from a stand using to high a power setting at low speeds can cause wheelslip and unnecessary wear on the transmission. With British Rail Second Generation DMUs the transmission won't actually develop full power until about 20mph is reached. There are two notching techniques for 7-notch power controller units that I am aware of. The first is: Brakes to Step one, power to notch 3, release brakes, into notch 4 once moving, notch 5 at 5mph, 6 at 10mph and into full power at 15mph. That appears to be the technique used by ATW drivers. ScotRail drivers use a somewhat different technique: Brakes to Step one, power to notch 3, release brakes, up to notch 5 at 5 mph and straight to full power at 15mph. Your braking was spot on though. Some drivers can be a bit rough on the stopping, your braking was pretty damn smooth! Look forward to your Cardiff to Paddington video. Ben😊

Going to be going from Norwich to Sheringham on Thurs. Hope you do that route sometime in the future too :)

class 156 and class 150 operate this route most of the time, have also seen the odd 170 but they mostly run the norwich-cambridge run

Great video, really showed off this awesome route too. Regarding taking power, I've been told often that for the best pickup out of a station, you should do either notch 3>until moving>5>up to 10mph>7 after 10mph, or 4/5 up to 10mph > 7 after mph. Certainly the second option is the most used now, however I believe in the BR days the drivers were trained with the first procedure. Hope this might come in useful, as I noticed that you went to notch 7 fairly quickly when setting off, which caused unnecessary wear and tear on transmission parts.

Great video, very useful! :)

Enjoyed this a lot as I grew up in Lowestoft, took the train to Norwich on many occasions. I just bought train simulator and this add on is going to be on my shopping list. One minor point that has already been commented on, Somerleyton is pronounced as Summer Late On, not Summerly Ton

my dad is a train driver in lowesoft and i live there and you enter the platform at 15 miles per hour and then slow down gradually

Thank you

The North Downs Line is a pretty good route.

I was on this line yesterday =D

Great vdieo

it is BIZARRE as hell to see where i go all the time in a bloody video game

Great Video, i also grabbed this route when it was released, money well spent!, also what recording software do you use? the video quality is fantastic!

Great video Pete! Will you be doing the route to Great Yarmouth on the Class 37 or 40?

good video can you please make a video of a train going to another country in the game

Can you do London fernchurch street to southend

Great vid!Just some info, Somerleyton is pronounced Summer-Layton

been waiting a while for a new route learning video, nice to see a difference between the intended era on the route and the era you have portrayed in the scenario, I prefer BR to these so called privatised profit making scums called "train operating companies" nice video pete!

Great run through of this line. A distant signal under semaphore signalling when in the Off Position tells the driver that All Signals are Off in the section that that Signalbox controls. The distant has to remain at Caution because you are running into a terminus and the Red lights at the end of the line is a fixed signal and can never be Off. Looking forward to you driving the other routes on the Wherry Line and if you stop at Berney Arms which only has two trains a day. www.urbanghostsmedia.com/2015/10/british-ghost-trains-empty-services-forgotten-stations/

Is this a scenario you created yourself or downloaded?

Just to let you know, the drivers on the Cumbrian Coast route between Barrow-in-Furness and Maryport have to keep their cab windows closed on all units and locomotives.

Really helpful and inspiring videos. Do you have any tips for route learning in TS2016, i'd love to drive without using the HUD. Do you draw maps, take notes and use particular landmarks as reference points?

I have to say, those two footbridges leaving Norwich are incredibly well detailed, but I don't think the catenery carries on all the way to that bridge.

Can you do North Somerset railway for your next route learning

how do YOU set the cab view so you can see everything?

Can you do a freight scenario on the East Coast Main Line South route?

Great vid. Very informative. By the way, have you ever thought of becoming a real train driver?

hello ptgrail can you please do route from Windermere to Burnside in a northern class 158

In the future will you a do a route learning video on one of the chinese lines?

Ptg rail could you do Glasgow to Paisley canal in a class 321

The Class 156 was not used in Regional Railways days.

I got train sim 2016 because of your videos could wait to try it then found out after installing it was all dlc and the base game had nothing to it. would be so bad with the dlc was so expensive it's like fsx all over again but without the 24000 airports that come with the game. never mind I do have 80% off my first (specific) dlc you can use it for, can you recommend one of them preferable a UK dlc which may give me extras like trains or assets that are needed for other dlc thanks

What are marker light

where in the uk are you from?

+PTGRail If you would like to use one of my Class 442 scenarios for your route learning video I would be very grateful, this would also save you even more time.

Would you say this route is worth getting?

There is a class 180 GWR reskin on Bluerail: bluerail.co.uk/180gwr.html

what is the specs for your pc??!!!

Is this worth buying? i really don't know.

What capture card do you use? I would really recommend you buy this one: gamerzone.avermedia.com/game_capture/extremecap_u3

what pc do u have

Plan

Sprinter family being 150 156 ect ??

can yo do a irish train

The route looks great in my opinion, but it's just way too expensive. 30£ for itself plus up to 75£ for other needed routes on steam to only run the route. Not even mentioning the cost of the trains for the scenarios. It's just too much!

AGA

I'm sorry but this route is a ripoff in my eyes yes it may look good and is non linear but the price is not justified 55.46 AUS for only 41 miles just doesn't seem worth it I'm just gonna wait for the werry lines UKTRAINSIM anyway Peter nice video anyway :P
