Train Simulator 2022 - Birmingham Cross City Line - Class 323 EMU - 2G15 Bromsgrove to Birmingham

Revisiting DTG's Birmingham Cross City Line, part of the Train Simulator 2022 package. This is gameplay of a scenario that I made, which is now available on Steam Workshop. It is called '2G15 11:42 Bromsgrove to Birmingham New Street'.

As the title indicates, in this video we'll be driving a Class 323 electric train from Bromsgrove ~ at the foot of the Lickey Incline ~ to Birmingham New Street, covering a distance of around 14 miles and stopping at all stations on the way:

Bromsgrove
Barnt Green
Longbridge
Northfield
Kings Norton
Bournville
Selly Oak
University
Five Ways
Birmingham New Street

I'm not sure if I'll make anymore videos about the Cross City Line, as I am very unhappy with DTG for still not fixing the sounds on the Class 323. The iconic motor sounds randomly cut-out at any notch less than full power, which is unrealistic. Then there's the horn which, rather than being dynamically controlled by how long you hold down the 'spacebar' and 'b' keys, just plays long and fixed tones when you press the aforementioned keys.

DTG, shame on you for not fixing the 323's sounds, and I can't understand why you chose to include this route in TS2022 when the train still has all these issues.

If you're new to the channel, and you like the videos, please consider subscribing. I frequently upload videos about railway games such as:

**OpenBVE
Train Simulator 20xx
Train Sim World 2
**World of Subways Vol. 4

** = only occasionally

(As well as at least one trainspotting video a week. I don't call myself The Trainspotter from Tauranga for nothing).
