Leeds Lines Phase 2

26th December 2019 Off By m_mortimer

The next stage of Leeds Lines is here, completing the 'Leeds Loop' from Doncaster - Wakefield - Leeds - York, completing the East Coast Mainline for train sim and a not seen before stage of Crosscountry route and the Transpennine route.

This is the newest stage of the route and is therefore subscription ware. If you don't have a subscription to Alan Thomson Sim you can get one by clicking subscribe on the top bar, or if you aren't interested you can get the previous release of Leeds Lines for free.

This route also features many custom asset from signage and clutter to full station models. Leeds Lines also brings new and exciting features never before seen in Train Simulator. The first new feature is the Alan Thomson Simulation OHLE pack. Lovingly crafted by SpeedyPete, this pack is the most comprehensive and accurate OHLE pack ever seen in Train Sim.

The second new feature is the Alan Thomson Simulation grime loft. During our research we found that the two main stations on this line (Leeds and Doncaster) have not seen any major track work for quite some time. With heavy traffic this leads to significant weathering and a very oily, black appearance to the track. The ATS Grime Loft is a custom loft asset that is placed over track to give it this dark weathered appearance and, to our eyes at least, adds another level of immersion.

Leeds Lines, whilst subscription-ware/freeware, has a few payware requirements. We have tried to make this as minimal as possible to remain accessible to as many people as possible. These requirements are:
