Birmingham Cross City Line: Lichfield – Bromsgrove & Redditch Route

Project Description:

Welcome to the West Midlands! The dense commuter network of Birmingham comes to life in Train Simulator in the form of the Cross City Line.

What is now known today as the Cross City Line, first opened between 1837 and 1885 as various unconnected routes. Even into the British Railways days, each half of the line, to Lichfield, Staffordshire in the north and Redditch, Worcestershire in the south with Birmingham in the middle, was operated independently with drastically differing quality of services.

Experience the hustle and bustle of modern commuting with the Birmingham Cross City Line in Train Simulator!
