[h3]Avanti West Coast Class 805[/h3][p][/p][p]This exciting Add-on introduces the Avanti’s newest generation of long-distance trains. Players can look forward to stepping in the cab of a 5-car BR Class 805 BMU presented in Avanti’s striking livery. What’s particularly interesting isn’t what it does have, but what it doesn’t have: the traditional yellow front. The result is a cleaner, more aerodynamic aesthetic that sets it apart from earlier members of 80X family.[/p][p][/p][h3]Timetable & Gameplay[/h3][p][/p][p]The new timetable included in this Add-on are two new 2025-era timetables covering stretches of the West Coast Main Line.

Covering a complete 24-hour day, the timetable delivers a with 510 fully driveable services. Modern rolling stock is used extensively to reflect the 2025 setting, while carefully selected legacy traction remains in place to add authenticity. The end result is a cohesive and contemporary timetable for the Birmingham–Crewe route, designed to stand confidently alongside the new WCML South 2025 timetable.

These are:
[/p]

• [p]West Coast Main Line: London-Milton Keynes[/p]
• [p]West Coast Main Line: Birmingham-Crewe[/p]

[p]Please note that the Avanti West Coast Class 805 Evero will be released on PC and 9th Gen Console platforms only.

[p][/p][p]All Aboard Studios return! Race your way along West Coast Main Line in Avanti West Coast’s Class 805 Evero, releasing on 27th January[/p][p][/p][h2]Avanti West Coast Class 805[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]Avanti West Coast’s fleet of 13 Class 805s were ordered to replace their Voyagers, with their modern bi-mode technology allowing for Chester and North Wales services to use overhead power where possible, as well as boosting capacity elsewhere on the West Coast Main Line.[/p][p]The BR Class 805 is part of the AT300 family which, since 2017, has been established as the mainstay traction for long-distance services between England, Wales and Scotland. Other members of this family exist in other Train Sim World Add-ons, with the Class 801 in East Coast Main Line and the Class 802 in Riviera Line.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Avanti West Coast’s Evero is one of the latest innovations of the fleet, featuring a familiar shell, but with a much more ergonomic interior, refined cab, optimised kitchen space, and comfortable first class section, with the rest of the train prioritising a much-welcomed capacity upgrade on the WCML. With quieter traction, lower emissions and a fresh, modern interior, the 805 is built for the future of rail.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In Train Sim World, the train has been recreated with precision and care, based on real world references and operational knowledge. From the clean lines of the Avanti livery to the modern cab packed with interactive features, every detail has been considered.[/p][p]All sounds have been refreshed using direct recordings from the Hitachi AT300 fleet, provided by the excellent SamTSM, delivering a rich and immersive audio experience that brings the train to life.[/p][p]Whether you are coasting into Euston on time, managing a late running service under yellow signals, or switching traction modes on the fly, the BR Class 805 offers a modern and rewarding driving experience on one of Britain’s most important intercity routes.[/p][p][/p][p]Specific features of the Class 805 in-game include:[/p]

• [p]Train Faults, including Pantograph Failure, Wiper Blade stuck, Diesel Engine Faults and Door Faults[/p]
• [p]Passenger Announcements and updated internal PIS displays[/p][p][/p]

[h2]Timetables & Gameplay[/h2][p][/p][p]Gameplay for the Class 805 Add-ons adds two new 2025-era timetables: one for each modern stretch of the West Coast Main Line.[/p][p]These are:[/p]

• [p]West Coast Main Line: London-Milton Keynes[/p]
• [p]West Coast Main Line: Birmingham-Crewe[/p]

[h3]WCML: London - Milton Keynes[/h3][p][/p][p]This is one of the most detailed and traffic heavy timetables ever introduced in Train Sim World, with over 2,000 total services and more than 1,000 driveable. Among them are 27 newly added Class 805 services based on real world Avanti West Coast diagrams, running from early morning through to late at night. You will be sharing the route with Class 350s, Pendolinos, Overground and Underground services, and freight movements, all layered together to create a busy and believable main line network. Additional content is required to unlock some of these services.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]You will also find a full tutorial to walk you through every system, along with five stunning and engaging Scenarios created by SimTrack Studios. These range from an early morning cold start at Wembley to a stormy express run to Milton Keynes, a disrupted approach into Euston, a traction mode change at Watford, and a busy football charter into Wembley. Each one offers a fresh challenge, whether you are switching power modes under pressure or navigating caution signals in a congested section.[/p][p][/p][h3]WCML: Birmingham - Crewe[/h3][p][/p][p]In addition, All Aboard Studios announced in our November Roadmap that a 2025-era timetable would also be added to WCML: Birmingham - Crewe.[/p][p][/p][p]This does not replace the original 2019 version. Instead, it provides a completely different style of action that reflects how the route runs today. Liverpool services now turn back at Birmingham New Street, the Stoke loop service is represented through an AI shuttle that waits out on Stafford platform 6, and the much loved Class 390s between Crewe and Birmingham now call at Stafford with reduced wait times at Wolverhampton to better reflect the current pattern. The variety continues with broader freight representation, fresh railtour paths and a set of ECS moves that ensure there is always something new happening around you.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Class 805 sits naturally within this updated flow, strengthening the sense of a living, modern WCML without dominating the timetable. It contributes with a mix of short and long distance workings and regular depot movements to and from Oxley, helping the wider service pattern feel busy and up to date. West Midlands Railway continue to handle stopping and fast regional runs between Birmingham and Wolverhampton, LNWRs Class 350s manage their established semi fast pattern to Crewe, and Transport for Wales maintain their cross border movements in line with present day behaviour. A number of special workings also appear, including Class 47 tours and a recreation of the 2024 Class 323 farewell tour, each supported by unique empty stock activity.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Across the full twenty four hour period the timetable contains 2171 services in total with 510 of them driveable. It makes full use of modern stock where appropriate with some older traction retained where it improves the completeness and gameplay value of the timetable. And as with other routes, any layers that affect immersion can be disabled to suit player preference. The aim is simply to provide another fully organised, believable and contemporary timetable for Birmingham to Crewe that stands confidently alongside the new WCML South 2025 timetable.[/p][p][/p][p]Train Sim World 6: Avanti West Coast Class 805 Evero is releasing on 27th January for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam for £14.99/€17.99/$17.99[/p][p]Wednesday 14th January: Class 805 Preview Livestream[/p][p]Join Matt and Harry from Dovetail Games along with All Aboard guests Dan and Kieran as they preview the upcoming Class 805 loco add-on from All Aboard Studios.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Please note that the Avanti West Coast Class 805 Evero will be released on PC and 9th Gen Console platforms only.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Find out more about Train Sim World 6 by following @trainsimworld on Twitter/X, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
