Players of Train Sim World 4 will soon get the chance to drive trains across the iconic Forth Bridge, when the Fife circle route from Edinburgh add-on is released on 26 March.<\/p>\n

Developed by Stirling-based Rivet Games and published by Dovetail Games<\/a>, the train sim add-on will allow players to take the helm and drive ScotRail trains between the capital, Glenrothes and Markinch via both Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy.<\/p>\n

With trains styled in the operator\u2019s famous Saltire livery, players will also be able to choose ScotRail\u2019s class 170 trains, and drive the 52 miles of line from Edinburgh Waverley to Markinch.<\/p>\n

It has also been announced that following the reopening of the branch line to Leven in June, Rivet Games will begin adding this into the route as part of a post-release update.
The ScotRail class 158 train is also planned to be made available for this route later in the year, as an additional loco add-on, courtesy of Skyhook Games.<\/p>\n

Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director, said: \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to see the world famous Forth Bridge come to life in this new Fife circle addition to Train Sim World 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cScotRail regularly operate the class 170 trains on this route, and I\u2019m sure players will be delighted to see this addition to the game.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jasper Holzapfel, Community Manager at Rivet Games, said: \u201cWe\u2019re always proud to recreate a route close to home, and had a lot of fun bringing the virtual recreation of Fife circle, and the class 170 to life!\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
