## About This Content
The Class 315 fleet has spent 38 years working both the GEML, the Lea Valley
Lines, and occasionally stretching further afield to the likes of Braintree –
however their most notable work is the stopping ‘metro’ services between
London and Shenfield, a distance of around 20 miles.
It’s time for you to challenge those 20 miles, shuttling commuters from Essex
in and out of East London (including the complex hub that is Stratford
station!) for onward travel. Waggonz and Armstrong Powerhouse have done a
wonderful job bringing this service into Train Simulator, and they’ve pulled
out all the stops…
New Feature – Guard Operation
Class 315s were historically operated by a driver and guard, the latter of
which would be in charge of all the door controls – this has been (optionally)
replicated here, where upon stopping at a station you no longer need to press
T to open the doors, the guard will do it for you.
Driver Only Operation
In recent years the Class 315s have been subject to Driver Only Operation,
which gives you full control of the doors’ opening and closing at every
passenger stop.
Wheelslip & Wheelslide Protection
When there is poor adhesion, traction can often slip along the rails, the
Class 315 automatically protects against this by regulating their power when
slipping is detected, it is then best to find a balance between minimal
slipping and maximum acceleration.
CSR & GSM-R
Depending on whether you’re driving a mostly original condition or a
refurbished Class 315, you will be able to register with CSR or GSM-R as
appropriate. This is a vital step to ensure communication between the driver
and the signaller, for example you can use each system to bypass using Tab to
pass a signal at danger.
Destination Display
In the main pack, the older manual destination blind is featured, and can
simply be scrolled through to find the right destination in the list. However,
with the TfL Rail BR Class 315 EMU Livery (available separately), a dot matrix
display replaces this, with each destination having its own code to key in for
display.
Cold Start
When cold, the Class 315 has no brake pressure, tripped out batteries, open
traction motor contacts and no saloon lighting – setting up from cold adds to
the immersive nature of the 315, and, along with every other feature listed
above, ensures the final PEP a firm place within the Pro Range!
