About This Content

Climb aboard the Hyper Networker and embark on a journey in Northwest England. Magnificent Mancunian scenery comes to life along the echoes of the fallen Woodhead Line. Surviving as part of the Northern Trains network, experience the quaint Glossop Line in Train Sim World®!

The distinctive charm, rapid performance, and unique design of the BR Class 323 feels at home on the shuttling service of Manchester’s Glossop Line. Built by Hunslet as an EMU dedicated to modernising the North, they are a familiar sight and popular with enthusiasts. Enjoy life aboard the 323 in a compact commuter package, taking things slower and enjoying the countryside beyond the city outskirts.

Wearing the bright and bold Northern Trains livery, the BR Class 323 is the exclusive electric traction on the Glossop Line. Keep on your feet as you constantly change ends, performing unique turnback procedures at Hadfield and Glossop on the well-known triangle junction at Dinting, before making the sedate run back to the grand Manchester Piccadilly.

Rail aficionados know the Glossop Line as a remaining relic from the former Woodhead Line. Truncated at Hadfield, the old line was advanced for its day, featuring steam-era DC electrification, still somewhat present today in the form of older style gantries, albeit modified to support today’s AC technology. Enjoy what’s left of the Woodhead and its infrastructure, including the stations which are still served to this day.
