North Somerset Railway review ~ Train Simulator

The North Somerset Railway add-on in TS classic is somewhat unusual, in that it depicts a proposed line that hasn't yet opened in real life. This is a planned reconstruction and reopening of the line from Frome to Radstock, complete with the Class 117 DMU in a custom NSR livery.
Seven years after this add-on's release, and the real NSR still hasn't opened. The lack of any real progress after all the time is, in my opinion, embarrassing.

Another modified version of this route was made by golden age developments, its set with the idea of this route having been reopened as a preserved railway in the 1990s and it doesn’t require any discontinued DLCs, I personally find it more enjoyable than the original route

[@Viper-CT]

I'll agree, this line is somewhat shorter and less "repeatable" than other routes, you could probably get away with "Permanent-Way" trains on this route as well. I only got this route because of another route I wanted that required assets from this route, otherwise, it's just been sitting in my library not really being utilised. Great vid, always good that. 👍

Great review,
what I can recommend is the NSR 2021 addon available from ‘Golden Age Developments’ which portrays the route as a more ‘developed’ preserved railway.
Could make for a fun comparison video.

I think the route is looking more likely to be a functional passenger line if it were reopened (i•e Okehampton branch) but it’s been done in a historic fashion given the assets and contents.

[@S2artrail]

Also, these was an electrified version using 387s so I’m believing it’ll become a functional passenger life if anything.

What are the key binds to change the destination blinds

[@DC4260Productions]

You can only change them in the scenario editor. When you click on the driving coaches, you'll see a lowercase letter that represents the destination options:
a - North Somerset Railway
b - Not in Service
c - Frome Market
d - Flowers Farm
e - Mells
f - Mells Road
g - Kilmersdon
h - Radstock
i - Westbury
j - Special

@@DC4260Productions thank you

I hate its name, North Somerset Railway. it doesn't even serve the county of North Somerset. It goes through NORTH EAST Somerset and Somerset itself. English counties, don't ya just love them!
