## Description
### Steam Store Description
The Portsmouth Direct Line Expansion Pack is a recreation of the 49-mile
railway line between Woking and Portsmouth Harbour via Guildford. Based on the
line as it appeared between 2000 and the present day, this expansion pack
includes the Class 450 electric multiple unit (a very familiar sight on the
line) and faithful representations of all 16 stations along the route. The
Portsmouth Direct Line runs through busy urban centres, suburbs and rural
areas as it makes its way from Woking in Surrey across the North and South
Downs to the historic naval town of Portsmouth on the South Coast.
The line was first begun in 1845, at which time the steep gradients of the
Downs between Guildford and Petersfield proved a struggle for steam traction.
Journey times improved with the electrification of the line in 1937, and by
the late 2000s the third-rail 750-volt DC line was served predominantly by
Class 444 and Class 450 EMUs. The Class 450 EMU included with the Portsmouth
Direct Line is closely modeled on the real Siemens-built Class 450 ‘Desiro’
units which entered service in 2003, and features accurate controls and sound
effects, plus realistic details including matrix destination displays,
independent left and right door controls and more.
