Train Simulator: South Wales Coastal: Bristol - Swansea Route Add-on PC

Explore the 85-mile South Wales Coastal route from Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway to Swansea in this Train Simulator add-on. Set in 2016, it captures a classic diesel era before overhead wires reached Cardiff, featuring busy passenger and freight services through the Severn Tunnel, Cardiff Bay branch, and Port Talbot Steelworks. Drive trains like the BR Class 175, Class 43 HST, Class 70, and Class 67, hauling wagons such as BYA, MXA, FEA-B, HHA, and KTA alongside GUV and Mk1 BG coaches. Career scenarios cover routes from Manchester Piccadilly to Carmarthen, Milford Haven to Cardiff Central, and freight hauls like Margam T.C. to Llanwern. Railfan Mode lets you observe action at spots including Bridgend, Cardiff Central, and Newport. Quick Drive adds flexibility, with more free scenarios on Steam Workshop for extended simulation play.

Directly connecting England and Wales, running under the longest river in the United Kingdom, the South Wales Main Line is one of the most important cross-border routes in the country, and over 80 miles of it can be explored in South Wales Coastal!

Bristol and Swansea have been connected by rail since 1850, however it would not be until the 1880s that the revolutionary Severn Tunnel was constructed, shortening the link between England and Wales by over 30 miles. For over a century, the Severn Tunnel was the longest in Britain, and is still used by dozens of trains daily connecting the two countries.

Services originating from the West Country and London combine to make the South Wales Main Line a continuously busy line, with passengers bound for destinations such as Newport, Cardiff and Swansea, and freight heading for Wentloog container terminal or Port Talbot Steelworks.

The route, set in 2016, represents a time before overhead wires were installed on the main line to Cardiff, making for a classic diesel experience along the full 85-mile route from Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway to Swansea. Croeso i Gymru!
