Birmingham New Street

London Midland Region

Introduction

One of SimSig’s most eagerly awaited simulations: Welcome to Birmingham New Street! The busiest station outside London, not only is it the hub of the Cross Country network, but there are three expresses an hour to London, three times as many local services, and a 10-minute interval service on the Cross-City lines. Throw in a few freights, and you have a truly remarkable simulation! Don’t run for the hills just yet: the remodelled layout at Proof House and lack of overlaps in New Street station makes the area flow very smoothly, with the service and track layout tailored to each other.

Birmingham New Street is a Payware simulation- to play beyond a short demo period requires the purchase of a license from the Products area .
