Hello friends! Back in the day when many people had to stay at home in isolation due to COVID-19, we decided to add another Let's Play Together competition in the middle of the week, just for fun-with different crazy levels and (alas!) no prizes. We think it is clear by now this extra LPT is a permanent addition too :)
The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level, complete it with 5 stars and have fun!
Visit our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel) to learn more.
This week's level is

A new lease of life comes to Birmingham with two new variants of the Class 170, available now from Rivet Games!
Approximate release times: 1000 BST PlayStation & Xbox, 1600 BST Epic Games, 1800 BST Steam
Originally part of Rivet Games’ Fife Circle Line as the ScotRail Class 170/4, the iconic turbo now stars in a new role, filling out and enhancing the Cross-City Line. Including both the 170/5 and 170/6 subclasses, with detail changes such as original headlights, updated cabs and interiors, the Class 170 is now presented in West Midlands Railway livery, as well as the far-reaching CrossCountry livery!
This marks the arrival of the CrossCountry license in Train Sim World, along with the second train to feature the orange West Midlands Railways branding, after the Class 323. Previously CrossCountry featured in Train Simulator Classic content.
The passenger interiors and the cabs differ per Train Operating Company (TOC). CrossCountry for example features First Class accommodation, but the West Midlands Railway 170 does not, also note the remnants of London Midland with the unmistakable green moquette.
A new timetable will be available to players of the Birmingham Cross-City route, featuring a much wider variety of traffic from a selection of other Add-ons, for players that own them. There’ll also be new Scenarios to play.
The West Midlands Railway Class 170 will have over 150 services, of which 58 are playable. The CrossCountry Class 170 will have over 180, of which 31 will be playable.
Additional service layers from other Train Sim World Add-ons include:
Class 350 from West Coast Main Line South (playable)
Avanti West Coast Pendolino (1 ECS move, otherwise AI)
Cardiff City Network (AI)
As well as the previously available layers from the original timetable:
Railhead Treatment Train
Centro Regional Railways Class 323
Rare power car movement using Great Western Express and Northern Trans-Pennine
Class 37 rail tour using Tees Valley Line and Northern Trans-Pennine
You can read all the details of the timetable in our previous article courtesy of Tyler, a Game Designer at Rivet Games.
Train Sim World 5: West Midlands Railway & CrossCountry BR Class 170 DMU is out now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam for £12.99/€15.99/$16.99
