Train Simulator 2016 - Route Learning: Norwich to Lowestoft (Class 150)
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 03. 2016
- In this next route learning video, we take a Regional Railways Class 150 on a journey from Norwich to Lowestoft. Set in the early 1990s, this journey takes us along one of the three routes of the new Wherry Lines add on from Armstrong Powerhouse. Along the way we will be calling at Brundall, Cantley, Reedham, Haddiscoe, Somerleyton, Oulton Broad and Lowestoft.

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!
+DistrictDriver Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed this video! This is an area I've not been to in real life but I think I'd like to travel on this route. :)
i live in Lowestoft its 100% spot on
Stephen Lee 1987 lol I'm here to see how Lowestoft station is. My mum lives there.
Wow and this is based off 1991
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.
+simonmd2000 Thanks, this is a most enjoyable route to drive! But indeed, everyone else was making videos using the 37 and I wanted to do something a bit different :)
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.
I like the 150 class and amazing video PTGRail
+Sym Rising Thank you! Glad you like both the train and the 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.
+jock678 Thanks! Glad you liked this video. I will be making more on this route in the near future. There is great scope for scenarios and a great variety of trains!
Excellent video PTG, At first glance thought it was a Class 156 haha, good video still that I love.
+Alan Antonio Bre Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed this video Alan :)
Anything, it's always nice to watch your videos. ;)
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
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.
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
Abellio don't operate Class 150 DMU'S anymore. In the sprinter family, they own 153's and 156's.
Rubbish!
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
+Roger Crick Thanks Roger! This route is a particularly good looking route. I'm glad you enjoyed this video :)
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!
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😊
+Ben Reid Thanks! I think this route is great to both look at and listen to. I didn't realise that about the pronunciation of Somerleyton as I so often don't in areas I'm not familiar with in reality. I've never been quite sure when to step up to full power with the throttle so thanks for the information. Braking is always the challenging part when it comes to driving a train I feel, so I'm glad you liked my braking technique :)
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 :)
+Matthew Taylor Thanks! Glad you like both the video and the choice of route. I'd like to see the Cromer/Sheringham branch modelled in the future too! :)
Your videos are huge ASMR triggers for me, so thank you really much!
+Liszak Szomin Haha, what is ASMR? I have no idea! XD
Look it up on wikipedia. :D But other than that, they are super exciting for me as I am huge railway fan and although I am from Czech Republic, british railway system is probably my favourite one. :)
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.
+FirstGearSims Thanks for the info on taking power and using the throttle. I've never been certain on the driving techniques with the throttle when starting up. I will bear this in mind for the future :)
Whatttt, the accuracy is so good
It looks pretty good, doesn't it?
In my opinion a perfect route for the 150!
As always, fantasic vid!
+Michael Hope Thank you! :)
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
As usual Very nice videos keep up the good work i had hours and hours of blast watching your videos
Thank you, Arjun. I really appreciate it! :)
Youre welcome
Great video, very useful! :)
+JDB158 Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video :)
+PTGRail a great video and a great route
Going to be going from Norwich to Sheringham on Thurs. Hope you do that route sometime in the future too :)
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
I was on this line yesterday =D
And its Oulton Broad North ;)
The North Downs Line is a pretty good route.
Thank you
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.
Do you know why that is?
It's due to the close proximity of the sea and also due to rock falls.
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.
+GraphiteProjekt I think the catenery does carry on that far though I could be wrong. The detail on this whole route is exceptional in my opinion :)
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!
+Road & Rail sim Cab Rides Thanks! I record using Bandicam and edit using Sony Vegas Pro :)
it is BIZARRE as hell to see where i go all the time in a bloody video game
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.

+Paul Stoneman Thanks for the information. I will be making more videos on here in the very near future :)
Ptg rail could you do Glasgow to Paisley canal in a class 321
+Anonymus 123 Is Paisley Canal in Train Simulator?
+Class380Fan yes it just waiting to be built on the north clyde line google it
+Anonymus 123 Paisley Canal isn't currently available in Train Simulator, unfortunately.
+PTGRail I Know it would be cool to see another one of the 3 stations around my area
Great video Pete! Will you be doing the route to Great Yarmouth on the Class 37 or 40?
+Szymon Gorczynski Thanks! I haven't yet decided what other trains to use along here, we will see what happens :)
Great vid!Just some info, Somerleyton is pronounced Summer-Layton
+Dom Driver Haha, thanks for the info! I sometimes get pronunciations wrong in areas I'm not familiar with XD
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!
+Kirkinstein I must say I think the Regional Railways livery looked really good on the Class 150s, and it's been a while since I did a more modern BR scenario which is why I chose to for this video :)
PTGRail i love it!
Is this a scenario you created yourself or downloaded?
good video can you please make a video of a train going to another country in the game
The Class 156 was not used in Regional Railways days.
Do you mean it wasn't used on this route? Because the unit itself was certainly used in Regional Railways days.
Not on the Wherry lines, no.
Can you do North Somerset railway for your next route learning
+John Court I don't yet have that route but will consider it for the future :)
Can you do London fernchurch street to southend
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?
+ZetanCrisp Thank you! I first drive the route with the HUD on and make notes. I look out for landmarks, speed limit warnings, and try to learn distances between various points. Anything can be a landmark, including crossings, bridges, buildings, gradient changes, curves, whistle boards.. basically anything that can indicate your distance to the next stop or speed change. Then you just need to know the handling characteristics of that particular train so you know how much distance you need to slow down or stop.
Driving without the HUD in TS is a whole new experience. It really adds to the realism, and for me transforms it from a train driving game to an actual simulator.
+PTGRail Many thanks for your reply. I tried a run from Peterborough to Kings X yesterday and only turned the HUD on now and again to check things like signal distances when there were adverse signals, and noticed how much more of the route I was noticing and learning compared to just looking at the HUD most of the time, it tends to break the flow? It actually feels like you are more immersed in the route without the HUD.
hello ptgrail can you please do route from Windermere to Burnside in a northern class 158
+Farai Dominic Mamhende Unfortunately that route isn't available in Train Simulator.
In the future will you a do a route learning video on one of the chinese lines?
+Ashwin Garg I will indeed consider it in for the future :)
MAGLEV LINE PLS
Can you do a freight scenario on the East Coast Main Line South route?
+Anthony Corrales I will consider that for the future :)
Great vid. Very informative. By the way, have you ever thought of becoming a real train driver?
how do YOU set the cab view so you can see everything?
it's the normal cab view
Great vdieo
+somerset train spotting Thanks! :)
PTGRail NP
Is this worth buying? i really don't know.
+NintendoMK7Gamer yes. Its a smallish route mileage wise (about 40) but the detail is the best I've ever seen
+NintendoMK7Gamer I think so just because of how detailed and good the route looks!
+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.
+F1 Stobartdude I will check out your scenarios as that could be quite helpful. Many thanks :)
+PTGRail Feel free to change a couple of services as I don't own a couple of trains like the class 455/8 so if you would like to change that for a scenario. Feel free.
where in the uk are you from?
+piet bur Originally Lincoln, but have lived in the south east since 1994 when I was just 7 :)
What are marker light
They are the white lights either side at the front, separate from the main headlight.
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
London to Brighton in my favourite but that doesn't come with many trains, same with London to Faversham if you want high speed
+Joe Sezure is*
+Cptboohey I would personally recommend the London to Brighton route above all others if you haven't got it yet :)
If you are looking for many trains then something like the Weardale & Teesdale Network should be good for you. It is however set in the 1950s. Modern routes with a good amount of value would in my opinion be the MML London - Bedford (buy the twin pack to get a 377 for just a pound more) or the ECML London - Peterborough.
Would you say this route is worth getting?
It really is.
+Joe Sezure I would say so, yes :)
Sprinter family being 150 156 ect ??
+Kevin Stewart 150, 153, 155 and 156 I believe.
+PTGRail cheers
what is the specs for your pc??!!!
+Ron C Currently Intel Core i7 4790k, 16gb DDR3 RAM and an Nvidia GTX 980 :)
what pc do u have
+Michael Rimmer I'm currently using an Intel Core i7 4790k with 16gb RAM and an Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 :)
Thanks
can yo do a irish train
Unfortunately no Irish routes are currently available in Train Simulator.
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!
Also, is "Berney Arms", a station in the middle of the moors in the route?
+Highspeedline01 I can understand what you're saying. I've been collecting routes and trains for years so it was no extra cost to me to buy this route.
+PTGRail Of course it depends on the collection you have. I've only got 8 routes in total so the cost for me is quite high.
it's nice to see them trains I'm not that keen on the electric ones but my favourite train is the drltic I like the way it groups when it's pulling hard
There is a class 180 GWR reskin on Bluerail: bluerail.co.uk/180gwr.html
+F1 Stobartdude Thanks :)
Plan
What capture card do you use?
I would really recommend you buy this one:
gamerzone.avermedia.com/game_capture/extremecap_u3
+T/B/T SimPlayer I don't currently use a capture card, just my processor and graphics card lol XD
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
+Sydney Trains Facts & Trivia Ignore it then!
I have
+Sydney Trains Facts & Trivia The quality of this route is quite exceptional. I think it's worth the money :)
I will see about it
