South Western Expressways - Reading builds on the original set of routes in Just Trains' earlier South Western Expressways add-on which ended at Pewsey station. This new release adds the 39-mile section to Reading station and runs west from Reading in the east to Bristol via Westbury and south-west down to Exeter. Having Reading station now means you can drive the classic route of Reading-Westbury-Exeter without having to go via Bristol.
Alongside brand-new stations, existing stations have been updated and we have laid new track and updated the signalling and lineside scenery. The route comes with over 200 brand-new custom objects and is Quick Drive compatible.
Important! If you purchased Train Simulator after 20 September 2012, you will require the European Loco & Asset Pack and the US Loco & Asset Pack (both available to purchase via Steam) for the route to display correctly.
Note: Additional stock (not supplied) is required for some of the scenarios to function correctly. Please see the scenario details in the Detailed Description below for more details.
