About This Content One of the busiest commuter routes through the UK’s capital city is stunningly recreated for Train Simulator in this new route add-on.The North London Line spans approximately 17 miles between Richmond and Stratford, and is today part of the London Overground network. The line is a heavy commuter route with trains every 15 minutes, and also a key corridor for freight traffic, connecting the inner suburbs north of London. Despite the line’s short length, the route is almost entirely dense inter-urban railway, with trains taking more than one hour to traverse the route when calling at all 23 stations.Built over a total of 25 years in five connecting sections, the first portion of the line was opened as the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway in 1846 between Stratford and North Woolwich, with the last portion opening in 1869 between South Acton and Richmond by the London & South Western Railway.The 1980s started to see closures across the line, the most notable being the closure of Broad Street station, a once major terminus for the City of London that became a dwindling station with very few passengers. Other notable closures on the line included the Tottenham Hale to Stratford link, and more recently the section between Stratford and North Woolwich in 2006. Where that track once stood is now used by the Docklands Light Railway and will also become part of the Crossrail branch to Abbey Wood in 2018.The line is electrified mostly with 25kV AC overhead catenary between Stratford and Acton Central, made so that dual voltage Class 313s could use the line and also open it up to electric freight locomotives. The section between Acton Central and Richmond sees third rail power, and between Gunnersbury and Richmond there is also a fourth rail as the London Overground and District Line shares this stretch of the network.Today the line is populated by Class 378/2 ‘Capitalstars’ forming the London Overground services, D78 Tube Stock for District Line services between Richmond and Gunnersbury, and Class 66s, 70s, 90s and 92s hauling freight.The North London Line for Train Simulator recreates the 17 mile route as it operates today between Richmond in the South West of London and Stratford in the North East, with the track curving in a rough semicircle shape to avoid the centre of London. The route includes standard British LED signalling throughout and the modern TfL Class 378 ‘Capitalstar’.ScenariosSeven scenarios for the route:Coming From ClaphamQuattro ServiceLate for Work!Stratford Slurry: Part 1Stratford Slurry: Part 2Early Morning RunCamden ShowersMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

Speaking of which being broken, that include the physics which they have pretty much destroyed beyond repair following its update. All three braking steps have exactly the same strength applied meaning to get anything stronger would require the emergency stop setting.Back to the point of the first sentence, not only is this route far too linear to provide a decent variety of scenario services, when driven *around Camden Road\/St. Pancras area at my normal settings it, whether I like it or not, generate everyone's favourite Dump File. Don't even bother suggesting me to change any setting because firstly: My specs are easily capable of playing this at max settings, but the Dump file is also made at lower settings at the same points.TLDR: Route is far too linear, very dump file prone, and the 378 is almost completely undriveable.EDIT: *Make that anywhere built up.. I like this route and have had none of the problems outlined by others, however I still have issues with it.Any scenario that requires a stop at Caledonian Road and Barnsbury fails and here's why. When you make the stop and open the doors there is no red timer bar showing in the HUD, as this is a scoring stop, no points are given for making it. Thus at the end you get a scenario failed notice telling you that you failed to stop. So I tried the scenario again, and got the same result.So I tried another scenario, it also required a stop at the same station, again no red timer bar and thus no points etc.Then there is the class 59 and its scenarios, and they are rubbish with absolutely no redeeming qualities. So I looked in the workshop for further scenarios, and there are seemingly none; however since the search function in workshop is less use than a chocolate teapot, there might be dozens, but I couldn't find them.Then there's the issue of the AI or lack of it, even in the scenarios set at rush hour, the AI trains are few and far between.So, a seemingly neat route with lots of possibilities that are poorly exploited and what is there suffers from the ever occurring DTGitis, which is of course a full time aversion to doing something properly. No matter what route, there is always something amiss.Oh, and I did the local file check, uninstalled the route and the re-installed it, again a file check and it's still the bloody same. There is no excuse other than appalling QC and a don't give a toss attitude. For the record, I run the game with all settings set to maximum and have excellent frame rate; so these issues are not hardware related.As a route 8\/10Play value 3\/10Value for money 1\/10As with most folks, I want my purchases to make me happy, I do not want them to be an object lesson in frustration and disappointment as so many of the DTG routes seem to be.. Can anyone help me? I bought the North London line and Gospel Oak add on but i have no scenarios for the North London line? Why dont i have them. HELP!. Although initially it seems expensive for a short route, a lot of work has gone into this and there are a lot of quite complex track formations. Recognition value is high.If you find that an add-on is not working, for example the class 378, it is not necessary to validate the files. Simply go to you library, select TS2016. A scrollable list of dlc you own will appear on the page, untick the add-on giving you problems. This will uninstall that specific add-on, then once it has done this, re-tick the add-on and it will download and install it again. This avoids losing any mods or having to re-install sound packs etc in the rest of the sim. Obviously this won't work if the problem is with the core game files.. An eagerly anticipated route on my part and most likely by many others as well, and doesn't disappoint.Although at first the price seems a bit steep for what is essentially a fairly short route, the level of detail is excellent and in many parts is as close as you could expect to real life within the confines of the current game engine. The shortness in distance in somewhat made up for by the comparatively longer time it takes you to drive end to end, over an hour for around 17 miles, and the frequent stopping and constantly changing speed limits keep you on your toes. The route itself plays host to a wide range of traffic from freight to coaching stock movements, and of course the Overground service, as can already be seen by the variety in the Workshop scenarios, so generally something for everyone unless high speed express services are your thing.However, for the price I would have expected a bit more route, such as the branch down to Clapham Junction via Shepherd's Bush or the Gospel Oak to Barking line. One slight annoyance as well is what seems to me to be fairly long dwell times at stations for a service of this sort, and the lack of Driver Only Operation which I believe is used now on the Overground.Hopefully at some point there will be the opportunity for this to be merged with other routes such as the GEML or South London Network to give an even greater array of potential scenarios. With the Waggonz \/ Armstrong Powerhouse class 313 in development this has the potential to be a truly fantastic route.. There are some people who have problems with this DLC due to an update for the 378 not loading.This can be fixed by removing all files of the 378, and letting Steam re-install a clean version of it. (Quite likely that when you have this problem, you installed a modpack for the 378, or unpacked it's files with RWTools).When that problem is solved, this is a very nice route. It's short, but well built with complex railway infrastructure and densely built up, and the scenery is very varied from old town London to countryside to modern urban redevelopment.As delivered the scenarios do not have a lot of AI traffic, but this is already being rectified with workshop scenarios.Despite that I am enjoying the scenarios very much. There's a lot of speed changes and signals to keep you on your toes and always something to look at.Ultimately this route will also be part of a larger network linked up with South London Network, Bedford Middland Mainline, and London to Brighton, which will greatly enhance the appeal of this route!(That project is being worked on by Danny, who already published several routes combining Munich area routes, and the combined South London Network with London to Brighton).
