Shane's Trains

Shane's Trains is a railway management simulation in which you take control of a rail network and expand it. Start with a handful of stations and a limited budget, then grow a network across the UK or build one of your own.

Plan your network

Connect real UK stations using accurate route data and geography, or place custom stations anywhere on the map. Lay track, design routes and link communities. The built-in map editor lets you create stations, draw lines and shape your network.

Run train services

Choose from 9 train classes, each with different speeds, capacities and running costs, from suburban commuters to intercity HSTs. Set up express and stopping services, create timetables and assign drivers to keep trains on schedule.

Manage the business

Balance revenue against maintenance, fuel and staff costs, and take out loans when money is tight. Upgrade stations with extra platforms, retail units and parking to increase passenger numbers and income. Research technology, manage drivers and respond to changing passenger demand and satisfaction.

Handle disruptions

Weather, mechanical failures, surges in demand and difficult decisions can test your management. Keep your reputation high and passengers happy as you deal with events across the network.

Game modes

• Career Mode: Progress through chapters with distinct objectives and challenges, expanding from a small branch line to a major network.
• Sandbox Mode: Build freely with a generous budget and everything unlocked, without restrictions.

Career Mode is marked as a work in progress.
