Northern Connect | Railway Simulator Reviews & Rating

Fire game, fire staff, driver minder loves to spad HB13 though, other than that I love it.

Incredibly realistic rolling stock models, incredibly underrated game, shame management decisions don’t make sense

its the perfect game if you want to run an entire railway network while working with drivers, guards, dispatchers and signalers, relying on teamwork to keep things running smoothly. (which very rarely happens) Overall its a great game with an amazing and welcoming community. 9/10

The game itself has really good foundations, the scenery is great, the train models are really well modelled, and there's a nice variety of stations that aren't close together, which makes it seem more realistic. The fact that it's shift-based is sort of 50/50 to me, because it makes the game realistic, but then it means that people can't always play when there is a shift (that also applies to staff as well, a lot of the time services are cancelled or there aren't a lot.) The stuff that lets it down is the lack of trains, really. We've had a pacer, 150 and 156 for ages, I mean, they look good and they have lots of liveries, but it gets boring after a while. I think even if you converted the 150/1 and made a 150/2 or a 150/0 out of it, it would definitely stop people from complaining for a bit. Another thing, this game is not free-drive, you have to apply to become a driver or conductor or whatever. If you have the time to play or apply, then I would recommend the game
