  • South Western Main Line: Southampton - Bournemouth
    South Western Main Line: Southampton - Bournemouth Streckenbeschreibung South Western Main Line: Southampton - Bournemouth Zitat von Steam Auf der South Western Main Line: Southampton - Bournemouth Route für Train Simulator wird der szenische Pendler- und geschäftige Sommerurlaubsverkehr zum Leben erweckt! Die South Western Main Line wurde in Abschnitten gebaut, wobei die Verbindung von London nach Southampton zwischen 1838 und 1840 schrittweise eröffnet wurde. Der bald darauf einsetzende Verkehrsanstieg überzeugte andere Unternehmen, Eisenbahnen zu bauen, die den Südwesten verbinden und erweitern, einschließlich des Southampton und Dorchester Railway und der Great Western Railway; alles in allem wurde die heutige SWML in den 1880er Jahren gebaut. Eine andere Linie, die in den 1850er Jahren gebaut wurde, war die malerische Lymington Branch, die sich südlich von Brockenhurst erstreckt und nach Lymington fährt und zwei Stationen abfährt - die Stadt und die Anlegestelle. Die Pierstation erstreckt sich auf den Lymington Quay und ein Steg wurde gebaut, um Fährverbindungen zur Isle of Wight zu ermöglichen. Mit einer engen Verbindung zu wichtigen Häfen und einer Geschichte von Sommer-Specials, die die Londoner an die Küste brachten, wurde die SWML immer beliebter und verzeichnet heute täglich über 140 Züge. Nehmen Sie sich Zeit, um in den New Forest einzutauchen, und tauchen Sie ein in den authentischen Verkehr der South Western Main Line: Southampton - Bournemouth!
