(now improved) Related Information: ---------------------------------------- Rail Simulator is the latest installment from Kuju Entertainment and under the publisher Electronic Arts (EA) and it offers the opportunity for players to take charge of steam, diesel and electric trains on real routes in the UK and Germany, with the US release imminent. Challenging and fun gameplay will even enable players to design their own ideal journey routes and other content. http://www.railsimulator.com/ ---------------------------------------- The First Great Western (FGW) High Speed Train (HST) comes ready to use in 'barbie' livery and the refurbished 'dynamic lines' livery with the game. The HST or InterCity 125 is named for its speed at 125 miles per hour, typical use to travel between (inter) cities within the United Kingdom. The train made it into the record books in 1987 when it became the fastest diesel-powered train at a speed of 238 km/h (149 mph). After privatisation of British Rail, individual companies painted the HSTs in their own colour schemes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterCity_125 ---------------------------------------- The Great Western Main Line is a main line railway in England that runs westwards from London Paddington station to Temple Meads station in Bristol. It is the original route of the pre-1948 Great Western Railway which was subsequently taken over by the Western Region of British Railways and is now part of the Network Rail system which includes the FGW service featured. http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/ ---------------------------------------- Please feel free to comment and share your views.
