GWR 800005 departs Exeter St Davids

Описание: Step Into the Future of Rail: Experience the GWR Class 800 on Trainsimworld 6 – A Journey Beyond Tracks

On a crisp, windswept morning of 28th January 2026, the digital rails of Devon come alive. The mercury hovers just above freezing as a sleek, silver-grey powerhouse pulls gracefully away from Exeter St Davids station at precisely 09:25. The destination? The sun-dappled shores of Paignton—where the dramatic coastline meets the charm of a classic seaside town. This isn’t just any train—it’s the GWR Class 800 Intercity Express Train, and in Trainsimworld 6, you’re not just a passenger. You’re in control.

Built for speed, comfort, and performance, the Class 800 is the pulsing heart of modern British rail travel—and now, in the most immersive train simulation ever created, you can feel every moment of its precision engineering. As the train accelerates smoothly out of Exeter, the diesel-electric power units hum with quiet confidence, seamlessly blending power and efficiency across scenic, dynamically rendered landscapes. Whether you're conquering the steep gradients of the Dawlish sea wall or gliding past frost-kissed moorlands, the physics-driven realism of Trainsimworld 6 captures every nuance of the journey.

But the Class 800 is more than just a machine—it’s a milestone in rail history. Developed by Hitachi Rail under the Intercity Express Programme, these agile bi-mode trains were introduced between 2017 and 2019 to replace the aging High Speed Trains (HSTs) that had served Great Western routes for decades. Designed with versatility in mind, the Class 800 can run on electrified lines using overhead power or switch seamlessly to diesel on non-electrified tracks—making it the perfect fit for the complex Great Western Main Line and its branch routes, like the scenic Riviera Line to Paignton. With a top speed of 125 mph, state-of-the-art passenger amenities, and a driver-focused cab designed for ergonomics and safety, the Class 800 represents the best of British innovation and Japanese engineering excellence.

Now, for the first time in a simulation, you can experience this marvel on one of its most picturesque routes. The Exeter to Paignton service showcases the full character of the Class 800—navigating tight coastal curves, managing speed restrictions through sleepy villages, and delivering the reliability that keeps thousands of passengers on schedule, even in the coldest January weather. The simulation recreates not just the terrain and timetable with stunning accuracy, but the very soul of the train—the way its doors chirp open at each station, the subtle shift in engine pitch as you climb the gradients, the ambient sounds of the cab as you monitor your speed ahead of the next signal.

Trainsimworld 6 doesn’t just simulate rail travel—it transforms you into the conductor of an experience. From the frost-laced platform announcements at Exeter St Davids to the golden light creeping over the Torbay coast, every second is crafted with authentic detail. Historical accuracy meets cutting-edge technology, allowing you to explore how the Class 800 revolutionized long-distance travel in the UK, modernized infrastructure logistics, and brought sustainable, high-capacity rail service to one of the country’s most beloved routes.

Whether you’re a rail enthusiast, a history buff, or a gamer seeking unparalleled realism, the GWR Class 800 in Trainsimworld 6 offers a journey like no other. Take the controls. Feel the power. Hear the wheels sing against the rails. And as you glide into Paignton with the sea glimmering on your left, know that you’ve piloted a landmark of 21st-century rail innovation.

The future of rail is here. Board the Class 800. Drive the legacy. Live the journey—only in Trainsimworld 6.
