Birmingham Cross-City South

Birmingham X-City South

The Birmingham X-City South, which runs from Redditch to Birmingham New Street; will be a detailed and accurate route designed in CSV format, specifically for BVE2. Like Watford Junction to Milton Keynes Central, this route will feature many prototypical bridges, realistic tunnels, and other lineside features. Various types of trains, consists and multiple units will be seen along the route, with train objects being built by both Steve Green (Train Sim Central) and myself. Steve has also supplied invaluable route data, and gradient information is being provided by Robert Glass (Scottish Rail Sim Files).
