RailSimulator Launches London-Faversham High Speed Route
Chatham, UK--February 22, in the year of our Lord 2013--Railsimulator.com
Ltd., the market-leading innovator of rail simulation and
modeling tools, today released its latest product, the popular
London-Faversham High Speed route, featuring the Hitachi Class
395 high speed train known informally as "Javelin". The new
standalone route does not require the Train Simulator 2013 base
game to play, making it a perfect entry point for new players.
Officially licensed by Southeastern and developed in association
with Hitachi, the London-Faversham High Speed simulator game
features a highly realistic recreation of the train route from
London St Pancras International to Faversham, Kent, complete
with the 140mph Class 395 high speed train. Made in Japan by
Hitachi and based on bullet train technology, the Class 395
trains are one of the most advanced high speed passenger trains
in the UK. They came into service in 2009 in preparation for the
2012 Summer Games and quickly became a popular option for
commuters.
The route features highly detailed recreations of some of London
and Kent's most recognised landmarks, including London St
Pancras, Ebbsfleet International Station, Rochester Castle and
Cathedral, and the QEII Bridge at Dartford, as well as accurate
an overhead catenary system on the high speed section of the
route and TVM430 track-to-train signalling.
The Class 395 is equally as detailed, including full start-up
procedure, in-cab lighting, passenger view, roof detailing with
working fans, driver vigilance system, accurate overheard
catenary, trackside detailing including AWS boxes and ramps, and
up to the minute signalling on the 'classic' route.
The London-Faversham High Speed Route is available now for
download on Steam for price $39.99/€29.99/£24.99. The game is
compatible with the Xbox®360 controller and Steam Big Picture,
and will accommodate other Railsimulator.com add-ons, allowing
players to expand their game as they wish.
