Heading down the Great Eastern Mainline is the Class 745. These have been running Intercity & Stansted Express service since 2019. 

The Stadler Class 745 FLIRT  are electric multiple unit passenger trains. they are built by Stadler and form part of the FLIRT family. The 745 is built for Greater Anglia for use on their inter-city services and the Stansted Express services. After construction between 2018 and 2020 in Switzerland they entered service on 8 January 2020.

Alan Thomson Simulation and AND Games are very proud to present the Class 745 for Train Simulator Classic. These have been designed and built to be ‘study level’ additions to the simulator and offer the best immersion possible. The build process was assisted and supervised by real life train drivers who drive the units in reality and we have done everything possible to recreate them as true to life as we can.
