Experience the Golden Age of British Rail on the Woodhead Route

Step back in time and master one of Britain’s most iconic electrified lines with the Train Simulator: Woodhead Route Add-On. This meticulously recreated route stretches across the rugged and atmospheric terrain of the Pennines, connecting Sheffield to Manchester. As one of the earliest electrified mainlines in the UK, the Woodhead Line offers a unique challenge for rail simulation enthusiasts looking to experience historic operations through the dramatic Peak District landscape.

The centerpiece of this add-on is the historic Woodhead Tunnel system. These engineering marvels were vital for navigating the hilly terrain, and you now have the opportunity to traverse them as you command heavy freight and scenic passenger services.
