London Underground Openbve Link

One of the longest routes, covering branches like Edgware to Morden via Bank. Central Line 1992 Stock

Getting London Underground content running in OpenBVE requires setting up the core simulator and then adding the assets. Step 1: Install the Simulator

This model represents the iconic Art Deco trains that were a mainstay of the Tube for decades.

Drives through complex junctions like Earl's Court, requiring careful attention to signal aspects.

The OpenBVE community has painstakingly built several iconic London Underground lines. These routes are usually divided into "Sub-Surface" lines (larger tunnels, standard train size) and "Tube" lines (deep-level, small circular tunnels). 1. The Northern Line One of the longest routes, covering branches like

: Early LU routes featured flat, photo-based cabs and simple tunnel textures.

The simulator accurately calculates train weight, friction, brake propagation, and passenger comfort levels.

Driving the Tube isn’t just about accelerating and stopping; it is about obeying the unique safety systems of London Underground Limited (LUL). openBVE developers have successfully implemented:

Modern digital displays, smooth rheostatic braking sounds, GTO thyristor buzz. District, Circle, Metropolitan If you need a for a particular route

Want a custom “learning curve” – e.g., how to manage brake creeping on the Northern Line’s steep downhill sections? I can write that next.

| Route | Train | Why it’s interesting | |-------|-------|----------------------| | (Harrow & Wealdstone → Elephant & Castle) | 1972 Tube Stock | See the sharp curve into Piccadilly Circus – real drivers call it “the corkscrew.” | | Circle Line (Edgware Road → Edgware Road full loop) | C69/C77 Stock | Notice how the same station appears twice (High Street Kensington vs. Gloucester Road) – a quirk of London’s disjointed signalling zones. | | Northern Line (High Barnet → Morden via Bank) | 1995 Stock | The long tunnel section under the Thames near London Bridge has a hidden emergency crossover you can spot in the developer view (Shift + F3). | | Central Line (Ealing Broadway → Hainault via Woodford) | 1992 Stock | The “Hainault loop” features Britain’s only surviving stretch of tube line with four parallel tracks (Woodford → Hainault). |
