A video game developer has created a playable version of the Liverpool Lime Street to Crewe station line as it would have been in the 1950s.
Dovetail Games, the Kent-based developers of the Trainsimulator game series, gained a cult-following over lockdown as their games gave players stuck at home the ability to travel to digitalised real-life stations around the country as a train driver. This month a new 'expansion' to their latest game, Train Sim World 2, will be released, featuring the trainline from Liverpool Lime Street to Crewe Station recreated as it would've been in the 1950s.
Players will be able to experience the world just as it would've been in 1958. The expansion, called Spirit of Steam, will be available on May 30.
