Another Great Add-on from EB
Yes! Another great Add-on, I got it today, and already played it..

The trains are good, altho are Same(Just as the Midland Mainline coatings) to some in WCE Part1 and London South Coast, and the Voyager is a 222 not a 220 in this one, and there is a few differences,

Now, the route, it's very good, lots to see constantly, with lots of good looking tunnel entrances etdc.. Luton Airport, is good too, altjho the plane lands almost on you cos it's been placed like not even a trek away, but its fun lol

Graphics are impressive too..
I am very impressed with this add-on..
Very worth your money..

A great add-on pack for MS Train Sim
I got it today for christmas. It's an excellent add-on, no errors at all and a lot of detail.

Trains include the class 43 Hst (midland mainline), class 222 Meridian (midland mainline), class 319 (thameslink), and a class 37. All of them are very detailed and have great sounds.

A downside of the activities is that there are only 10 to do, but the quality of them makes up for this. They are great fun to play, you can see the Eurostars at St Pancras station and one activity even features a run into the Eurostar platforms at St Pancras.

There is even a couple of freight items occupying the sidings along the way, which is very realistic.

Overall I think this is an excellent add-on for MS Train sim, and I can recommend it to everyone.

Excellent sim of a rather neglected route
In simulation form, a neglected part of the rail network; anyone familiar with this stretch of the line will be delighted it is now available. It covers the 50 mile stretch from London-Bedford, and a bonus is that the Farringdon extension is now available and can be seamlessly integrated.

It is good, the line seems quite accurate (within the limits of Train Simulator) and some of the scenery is nicely detailed. Particularly interesting are St Pancras and Luton Airport with its planes flying above your head! Sound and graphics also seem to a higher quality than some products. Unfortunately the stock is very familiar; much of it has been garnered from West Coast and London South, though it has been reliveried. I haven't tried all the activities yet, 6 are described as `easy' the other 4 `medium' difficulty, so nothing terribly challenging, but there will no doubt soon be a wide range of freeware add-ons from enthusiast activity creators. Installation was straightforward and, as you would expect, the whole thing is nicely packaged with accompanying booklet, in true EuropeanBahn style.

So, it all adds up to a product which conveys the correct flavour of the line although, for me, the Making Tracks Great Eastern route is still in a class of its own. Nevertheless, Midland Mainline is well worth buying, particularly if you are familiar with the route.
