Glasgow Subway to feature as new 'unique' route on popular train simulator game

Fans of the Glasgow Subway who love shoogling their bahookies round the city from A to B are in for a treat.

That's because train simulation game Train Simulator Classic have announced that the Clockwork Orange is coming to the game as of next week.

The popular game, billed as "the ultimate railway hobby", puts the player in control of authentic, licensed locomotives and brings real world routes to life.

The new route, which will be available from April 28, has managed "to capture the cramped feel of the trains" according to route designer Alan from Thomson Interactive.

And the designer revealed that players will also be able to give it their best shot at the much-missed game show host driver by featuring an audio system that allows them "to announce each stop using the cabin PA button".

Speaking to Train Simulator Classic about the "unique, new route", he said: "I’m really happy with the look of the passenger interior as I think I’ve managed to capture the cramped feel of the trains. I’ve set up the passenger views as part of an “extended driver cabin” – the same method used for the Class 350 on WCML Trent Valley.

"The trains also feature an audio system that allows you to announce each stop using the cabin PA button. I’m really looking forward to seeing how players cope with the different driving modes. My main hope is that others can experience the same fascination that I have for this wonderful little underground railway."

It comes after we reported on Cathcart Circle Line becoming the first Scottish route on fellow train simulator game Train Sim World 2, allowing gamers to navigate through the city on a BR Class 314 EMU train.
