Dovetail Games and Fremantle announce partnership to bring Great British Railway Journeys to life with the official game.
The official game of Great British Railway Journeys is coming to Steam 5th March. In the show Michael Portillo follows in the footsteps of the father of the train timetable George Bradshaw. Now take to the rails and start your own adventure driving iconic trains across five famous routes from the hit television series.
Powered by the Train Simulator engine, Great British Railway Journeys features an authentic recreation of real trains with unrivalled detail. Manage your engine, passengers, safety systems, signalling and much more from the comfort of the cab, with control boards that perfectly re-create the operations of real-life trains. Master the operation of diesel, electric and steam as you deliver passengers and freight, alongside British landmarks and stunning backdrops.
Michael Portillo, presenter of Great British Railway Journeys commented: "The level of realism and extraordinary detail in the game makes it feel exactly like being in the driving seat of a train."
Paul Jackson, CEO of Dovetail Games, said: "As a fan of the series I’m excited to be working with Fremantle to bring the world of Great British Railway Journeys to life and give railfans the chance to discover these famous railway routes."
Featuring five routes with over 350 miles to explore and more than 40 scenarios, the Great British Railway Journeys game will challenge you to keeping to schedule in the bustling commuter network around London, navigate the twists and turns of Cumbria's historic Lake District and manage passenger and freight through the heart of Medway Valley.
Drive Bradshaw's Britain with these five journeys:
· East Coast Main Line: London-Peterborough
· Great Eastern Main Line: London-Ipswich
· Portsmouth Direct Line: London Waterloo – Portsmouth
· Settle to Carlisle
· Chatham & Medway Line
Great British Railway Journeys releases on Steam 5th March. If you’re an existing owner of Train Simulator, Great British Railway Journeys expands your existing collection by adding five routes directly into your copy of Train Simulator.
