A new livery takes to the rails
A new iconic look is arriving soon in Train Sim World 6! Introducing the Great British Railways Class 802, showcasing a bold new livery that represents the next chapter of rail travel across the UK.
In collaboration with the UK Government, Dovetail Games has supported the debut of this brand-new identity since its initial unveiling on the platform in 2025. This marks the first time players can experience the new GBR livery, even before it appears across real-world services nationwide.
From city to coast
Take charge of the Class 802 across two iconic UK routes in Train Sim World 6:
East Coast Main Line: Peterborough – Doncaster
Riviera Line: Exeter – Plymouth & Paignton
Experience the contrast between high-speed mainline running and scenic coastal operations. From navigating Newark Flat Crossing to running alongside the Dawlish Sea Wall, each route offers a distinct driving experience.
Across both routes, the Class 802 introduces new gameplay opportunities. Take on two dedicated scenarios per route, each offering unique challenges tailored to their environments.
Take on a range of bespoke scenarios, including:
Flying the Flag Take the 802 to the depot for a repaint before collecting the newly painted train and taking it out for its first service.
Riviera Rendezvous Take control of a special service celebrating the history of the Riviera Line while visiting historic landmarks along the route.
Snow Stopper Weeave through track closures and delays during a cold snap in the West Country.
Can’t Park There, Sir! A car has caused a level crossing failure, delaying passenger services on the ECML.
In addition, a special “All Stops” timetable service has been added in each direction on both routes:
ECML: 1Z78 and 1Z79
Riviera Line: 1Z44 and 1Z45
You’ll also encounter the GBR Class 802 through select timetable substitutions, adding even more variety to your experience. Take it further in Free Roam and explore the network on your own terms with the new GBR livery.
A first for Train Sim World
This release is unlike anything we have done before. The GBR Class 802 marks the debut of a real-world livery in-game before it has been fully rolled out across the railway. A significant milestone for Train Sim World.
As Great British Railways prepares to launch as a publicly owned system from 2027, this new livery is expected to act as a template for trains across the country. It gives players an early glimpse into the future of UK rail.
