It's 1986. David Bowie can transform into an owl, Tom Cruise is feeling the need for speed, and Mick Dundee is showing off his big knife. Over in Britain meanwhile, the West Coast Main Line between Crewe and Preston is humming with energy. This is one of Britain's hardest working stretches of railway, a corridor where freight and express passenger workings never stay still for long.
Train Sim World® 6: West Coast Main Line: Crewe - Preston is out now for £29.99/€35.99/$39.99.
Please note that West Coast Main Line: Crewe - Preston will be released on PC and 9th Gen Console platforms only.
