## About This Content
One of England’s most important main line railways comes to Train Simulator,
joining the UK’s capital city with the Home Counties commuter towns to
Bedford.

The Midland Main Line was built in stages between the 1830s and the 1870s, and
originated as three railway lines which met at the Tri Junct Station in Derby,
which were later to become the Midland Railway. However, it was not until 1868
that the Midland Railway had a direct link to the UK’s capital, when a line
was opened from Bedford to St Pancras, via Luton. The final stretch of what is
considered to be the modern Midland Main Line was a relatively short bypass
around Sheffield, which opened in 1870.

Today, the Midland Main Line connects London with town and cities in the heart
of England, including Luton, Bedford, Kettering, Leicester, Derby and
Chesterfield, and since the closure of the rival Great Central Main Line in
the 1960s, has been the only direct main line rail link between the Capital
and the East Midlands.

The route carries a significant volume of long distance and local passenger
services, with express passenger services operated by East Midlands Trains,
alongside a large amount of freight traffic, including intermodal and stone
aggregate trains.

The Midland Main Line: London-Bedford route for Train Simulator covers the 55
mile (88km) Thameslink section of the route from London St Pancras to Bedford,
via Luton Airport – more commonly known as the ‘BedPan’ line – as it is today.

Features of the route include the spectacular London St Pancras station and
freight terminals at Cricklewood Freight Facility, Radlett Stone Terminal,
Elstow Aggregates Terminal at Bedford St Johns and a cement facility on the
outskirts of London St Pancras.

Also included is a First Capital Connect Class 319 EMU and EWS Class 66 diesel
locomotive, along with PGA stone wagons, PCA bulk powder wagons, FSA/FTA
container wagons.
