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.聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽聽
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.聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽
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.聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽
