## About This Content
Spanning the North Wales Coast Line from Crewe to Holyhead, and also featuring
the iconic Conwy Castle across 85 miles of cross-border railway line, Train
Simulator’s North Wales Coastal route marries seaside views with both local
and inter-city services from Arriva Trains Wales and Virgin Trains West Coast.
Ever since the Act of Union in 1801, which saw Ireland become part of the
United Kingdom, people have strived to improve the connection between the two
isles. In the early 19th Century, a combination of horse-drawn transport and
sailing ships was the only option; that was until the 1840s, when the Chester
and Crewe Railway and later, the Chester and Holyhead Railway were
incorporated.
The full line was soon completed in 1848. Irish Mail would regularly work the
line from London to Holyhead, and the LNWR, being in control of the West Coast
Main Line and the line to Holyhead soon after, saw an opportunity for a spike
in tourist traffic. Trains were put on to serve seaside resorts like Rhyl,
Colwyn Bay and along the Llandudno branch, setting in stone the line’s
popularity. This tale would continue through the Big Four, British Railways
and Sectorisation eras, and despite freight being less common today, the line
has remained a local and long-distance passenger haven with over 90 trains a
day.
Visit the seaside today with North Wales Coastal Extension, which now allows
you to enjoy the entire Crewe to Holyhead route, featuring the Virgin Trains
BR Class 221 “Super Voyager”, and Arriva Trains Wales’ BR Class 158 “Express
Sprinter” and BR Class 175 “Coradia” DMUs.
