Train Simulator Classic: Woodhead Route Add-On brings the Woodhead Line back to life in Train Simulator. The 60-mile route runs from Manchester Piccadilly to Sheffield Victoria through the rugged Pennines and includes the Wath branch and Woodhead Tunnels.

The Woodhead Line

The line between Sheffield and Manchester was electrified in the early 1950s, with the Class 76 electric locomotive built specifically for it. The Woodhead Tunnel system consists of three tunnels, the third added for electrification so the railway could pass through the hilly northern Peak District. Class 76s hauled freight and passenger services under British Rail until 1970, then worked freight only. The line closed to traffic in 1981.

Locomotives and coaches

The add-on includes the Class 76 electric locomotive, first built as a prototype in 1941 before full production began in Manchester in 1950. It also features a Class 08 diesel shunter in BR Black, an 8F steam locomotive and Mk1 coaches in crimson livery.
