Experience a unique marvel of rail innovation, an Underground veteran turned
Solent explorer. Modern-day Isle of Wight duties await with Rivet Games’ Island
Line 2022: BR Class 484 for Train Sim World 2!
Please note: Train Sim World 2: Isle of Wight is NOT required to play this
add-on. The Island Line 2022: BR Class 484 EMU comes with its own, modernised
version of the route.
For the
past 50 years, the Island Line, which traverses the Isle of Wight from the
water-lapped Ryde Pier south to Shanklin, has been uniquely operated by
otherwise life-expired London Underground tube stock. 1967 saw the introduction
of the Standard Stock, given new life as the Class 485 and 486, which were then
replaced in 1989 with the Class 483, itself formed from old 1938 Stock. Being
over 80 years old though, the 483s were in dire need of a replacement.
The
tradition of using ex-Underground stock would continue, but in a way that would
rock the boat for the line as it was. An order for 5 Vivarail D-Trains, rebuilt
and modernised vehicles from the District Line D78 Stock, was placed. Being
sub-surface trains, this saw the line overhauled to accommodate the new, taller
fleet. Platforms were rebuilt, track was altered, new signalling was installed.
Following months of upgrades and testing, the new BR Class 484 entered service
in November 2021. These 2-car EMUs retain their Underground soul, but are also
kitted out with modern cabs, revised interiors, digital destination displays,
and new headlights.
In
Train Sim World 2, take control of this modern-classic along an upgraded Isle of
Wight, across a series of engaging scenarios and an all-day timetable. Ride to
Ryde and Shuttle to Shanklin, a new set of challenges await with Rivet Games’
Island Line 2022: BR Class 484!
