## Description
### Steam Store Description
The hustle and bustle of the UK’s capital city and the sprawling countryside
of Essex and East Anglia come together in one fantastic modern route for Train
Simulator.
The 19th Century London Liverpool Street is the City terminus point of the
Great Eastern Main Line before the line winds through the suburbs of London
and past the Olympic Park, into Essex and on to Suffolk.
The earliest section of the line (often shortened to ‘GEML’) opened in 1839
and ran from Devonshire Station (in Mile End, London) to Romford, Essex. A
year later, the London terminus was moved to Bishopsgate and over subsequent
years the line was extended further into Essex, reaching Ipswich in 1846.
London Liverpool Street became the City terminus of the route in 1872, and now
sees more than 57 million passengers each year.
The 70 mile route from London to Ipswich sees daily fast passenger services to
and from East Anglia with slower commuter services serving the ‘banker belt’.
It is electrified at 25 kV AC using overhead wires and has a line speed of up
to 100mph (161km/h). The line also carries frequent freight operations working
from Felixstowe and Ipswich to Stratford, where connections are made with the
North London Line and main lines radiating from London to other parts of the
UK.
A common sight on the line is the Siemens-built Class 360 EMU, operated by
Greater Anglia and included with the route. These ‘Desiro’ units were
introduced to service in 2003 and by mid-2004 had completely replaced the
ageing Class 312 slam-door units. The four-car units have a top speed of
100mph and quick acceleration, making them ideal for long commuter lines with
frequent station stops.
Notable landmarks along the route include London Liverpool Street, Stratford,
the Olympic Park, Ilford Carriage Sidings, Chelmsford, Colchester,
Manningtree, Stoke Tunnel (the only railway tunnel on the Great Eastern Main
Line) and Felixstowe Container Terminal and Docks, as well as the Braintree
branch from Witham and the short branch line to Colchester Town.
