Trainz 22: Southfolds - UK Third Rail Electric Network

The Southfolds – UK Third Rail Electric Network DLC for Trainz 2022 was developed by Sharadise and published by N3V Games. It was released on 12 December 2025 and is offered as an expansion for Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022, which the community often refers to simply as Trainz 2022. This DLC supports Windows, macOS and Linux, matching the multi‑platform availability of the base game and does not require any separate console or mobile ports.

This DLC adds a fictional British commuter rail network inspired by real third rail electric systems around London and other parts of southern England. It includes stations, trackwork and scenery that evoke both urban and countryside environments, blending elements of busy passenger operations with rural landscapes reminiscent of England’s “Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.” The network’s electrification and heavy focus on suburban passenger services give players opportunities to operate modern EMUs and manage frequent stopping services in a densely trafficked simulation environment.

Promotion of the Southfolds DLC was primarily handled through its official announcement on the Steam store, where key features such as the UK‑style third rail electrification, passenger operations and scenic route design were highlighted. As with many Trainz expansions, it was presented to the community through the platform’s catalogue and by capitalizing on interest from players who enjoy UK rail simulation content. There was no large external advertising campaign, but the DLC was positioned as a substantial addition for those looking to expand their route collection with a distinctive regional flavour.

Because the DLC is very new, it currently has no user reviews on Steam. Community feedback in forums and social spaces dedicated to Trainz suggests cautious interest: many players are intrigued by the UK theme and the third rail electrification, seeing it as a fresh variation compared with existing routes. Some users have noted that enjoyment will depend on how well the network supports realistic timetables and compatible rolling stock, while others have welcomed its scenic design and the potential for rich passenger operations. Overall, early sentiment leans toward curiosity and anticipation within the Trainz simulation community.
