Short description
Build and manage your own railway empire. Buy trains, create services, expand the network, and grow from a single branch line. Map your own routes, or play across the real UK rail network and beyond.
About this game
Build your railway empire. Shane's Trains is a railway management simulation where you take control of a rail network and grow it into something great. Start with a handful of stations and a tight budget, and expand across the country - or build something entirely your own. Plan your network: Connect real stations across the UK or place your own anywhere on the map. Lay track, design routes, and link communities together. The built-in map editor lets you create custom stations, draw new lines, and shape the network however you want. Run the service: Choose from 9 different train classes, each with distinct speed, capacity, and running costs. Create express and stopping services, set timetables, and assign drivers to keep everything on schedule. Manage the business: Balance revenue against maintenance, fuel, and staff costs. Take out loans when cash is tight. Upgrade stations with extra platforms, retail units, and parking to boost passenger numbers and income. React to events: Weather disruptions, mechanical failures, demand surges, and tough decisions will test your management skills. Keep your reputation high and your passengers happy. Two ways to play: - Career Mode (WIP) - Progressive chapters with unique objectives and challenges, building from a small branch line to a major network. - Sandbox Mode - Generous budget, everything unlocked. Build freely with no restrictions. Features: - Real UK station and route data with accurate geography - Built-in map editor - place custom stations and draw your own lines - 9 train classes from suburban commuters to intercity HSTs - Dynamic passenger demand and satisfaction - Station upgrades, tech research, and driver management - Weather, failures, and event systems - Save and load with auto-save - Actively expanding - new regions, train types, and features in development
