Dovetail Games - the makers of Train Sim World 2, which lets you realisitcally drive a Bakerloo Line Underground Tube Train - invited me down to their offices in Chatham, to talk to them to ask about the incredible amount of work that goes behind making this game, that's arguably as good as a simulator!

Train Sim World 2 is available now on Steam, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as is the new Isle of Wight expansion. You can follow @trainsimworld on both Twitter and Facebook.

  • To answer the question, I drive with the cab lights off, although some of my colleagues prefer to have the lights on. Reflection in the front windscreen is a problem in the tunnels when the cab is fully lit (at least it is on my line, with the 95's), and with the lights off I get the added advantage of being able to spot any suspicious shadows before entering a lit platform, not to mention it makes monitoring the closed door visuals (the pilot light) much easier. And in case anyone is wondering, yes, I know where all the buttons and switches are in the dark :) Things not often modeled in simulators: when leaving a tunnel after nearly an hour underground, you get into the habit of turning the cab light on as soon as you can see daylight to get your eyes accustomed to the sudden brightness, even on overcast days. That prevents being temporarily blinded. Love your videos, hope to see you on my line soon :)

    Geoff, I'm not a tube driver, however I do shunt Class 66s, and when doing so in the dark, as Matt said, I drive with the Cab light off, as driving with it on reduces viability and I get a nice reflection of my high vis clothes (and ugly mug) in the window 😂

    Cab light off Geoff, every time. When its on you see a constant reflection of yourself, most off putting.

    "Playing the PlayStation version", Geoff says... Holding what looks to me to be an Xbox controller?

    Geoff, you are bang on with this. Good shout man, nice to see you notice TSW2 - much more than the Bakerloo Line but lovely to have
  • @BritishAPT
    It's such a great game. Love that you finally made a video of this!
  • The attention to detail on this line is really interesting, even the passenger lights flicker when there is a break in the circuit.
  • @callum1022
    For so long I’ve wanted this and finally I’ve got it!
  • @SWTransport
    I really hope they add the Piccadilly Line in the future!
  • Oh man - that looks awesome. Used to catch the Bakerloo all the time when I lived in London until moving back to NZ a couple of year ago and now I have to get this game. And a console to play it on...
  • @mccobsta
