Take control of the oldest traction in revenue earning service in Britain, the veteran BR Class 483, which started life on the London Underground as 1938 Stock. Operating on the Island Line since 1989, this reworked ex-tube stock was chosen for the line as standard mainline stock is too tall to fit through the Ryde Tunnel.

Player Comments

I really like it and on my system, it’s by far the smoothest running route in the whole franchise. I’d rather be subjected to electric shocks than all that stuttering, which is almost completely absent from this route (on my modest hardware).

Great short route, lots of detail, and the Class 483 is pure train-driving joy! Stations and running rail are well-detailed, as are the houses and environment which abut the platforms. As long as one understands that the route is short (~8.5 miles long), and measures expectations accordingly, this is a fantastic and fun route to purchase.

The only feedback that I have to offer is the quality of the water. The textures / appearance is very redundant, and appears very mechanical when looking out toward the horizon. Unfortunately, this significantly detracts from one of the best parts of the route – the Pier Head and Pier running section.

Again, great short route – its easy to pick up and complete a route any time of day. Keep up the great work – would love to see more routes like the Island Line!

Pros:
1. 483 model is great, a lot better than the TS one. 2. You can press a few buttons on the guard panel of the 483 like lights and doors. 3. Route scenery is pretty nice. 4. NSE livery on 483 is good. 5. Stations look pretty good although a bit clean. 6. The collectibles are good and a few locations are cool. 7. Being a small route FPS is great

Cons:
1. Currently a bug where the timetable will not give you any scheduled time to stop at a stop so you don’t earn enough points to get a gold medal. 2. Sounds were recorded from the 483 however were stretched so they completely ruin the recording and make the train sound like trash. 3. There are no run sounds on the 483 or at least none I can hear. 4. The water below Ryde Pier is questionable. 5. No red livery for the 483 although I managed to make a branded SWR livery with a few hours work in livery designer. 6. The door animations on the 483 are very bad (they just close really fast). 7. Classic sound bug where the game will sound like you are falling out of a plane when standing up while train is in motion. 8. AI doesn’t drive with lights on

Overall I give this route a 7/10 although there are loads of issues I think it is still a lovely route to have a quick drive. I have had so far a great time playing with this route even with all the bugs. If you are not bothered by a few busg here and there then I recommend this route. Although $25 is a bit steep if you really want this route then get it and a sale won’t be for a bit.

EDIT: I have no idea why it says I have zero hours on this route, lol. I have played this route a lot so…
