British Railway.

A game where you usually drive, ride or guard trains.

Well, today we are doing something slightly different.

In this video, we are going to show you 15 secrets in the game

that many casual players will never notice in their time playing.

Ranging from station signs all the way to hidden stations, we will show off everything you didn't know about British Railway.

Without further ado, let's get exploring.

This is Wolf Gaming.

So, let's go and find the first secret.

To find this one, spawn at Belmond Green and head down this road here towards this multi-story car park.

The road doesn't continue, so quickly head around the building.

And then continue along the road for a little more.

Once you reach here, head into Freecam and fly over to this station.

This is what the developers have done to Woodham station, which got removed in version 1.4.

This was to make way for the brand new Woodham TMD.

You might not notice that this is Woodham, as you rush past in your train, but the next time you drive past here, you will know what this is.

Okay, on to the next secret.

Secret number two is one only people who ride trains would be able to find normally.

Here in Avon Hill, there is something odd about the destination boards.

It's just over here.

Yes, you are reading this correctly.

The developers have decided to type out the main chorus of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up on this destination board.

Let's just move on from this one.

Right.

For the third secret, spawn at Lee Tun, and all you need to do is walk a few hundred meters.

It isn't too far.

Here we are.

This is a statue of the five developers of the game.

Of course, when you are driving through Lee Tun, you will never notice this, so it is cool for the developers to add this for people who properly explore the map.

The next secret is only one stop away, at Palmer's Way.

People who have played this game before version 1.4 will of course know

that this station used to be called St. James Park.

Well, we have some remains from that station.

Over here we have a rusty station sign on the floor.

This also includes the Thupe Park logo, which used to be the theme park at St. James Park.

How cool!

For our fifth secret, we need to spawn at Stonebrook Town and head down to where this road ends in a T-junction.

We have made it!

I think you can tell what I am going to say here.

It's a floating tree.

I have no idea if this is deliberate or if the developers made a mistake and didn't move the tree down enough.

This is also the location where the moving cars spawn and despawn.

Our next secret takes us to Elm Tree House, where the developers had quite some fun with what they were putting on the boats that are moored up around here.

First of all, we need to come to this boat next to the pub, where we can find a rubber duck in the front of this boat, called the Difficult Boat.

Right next to that, we can find another boat called the Spirit of Maxwell, referencing Maxwell the cat who can be found somewhere on the map.

On the other side of the river, we have another ridiculous joke.

Here we have Bill's discovery boats, and only a few meters away, we have Bob's better discovery boats.

The developers were really having a laugh when they were redoing this station,

and this is something you would never normally notice when you are rushing past the station trying to stay on time.

On to the seventh secret.

For the next one, we need spawn a whetstone.

To get there we need to go into free cam.

So, do you remember, before version 1.4, the fair line used to be here.

Well, at the end of the now disused branch, we can find a gravestone.

There isn't actually anything written on the gravestone, but we can make a guess that the developers have added this to remember where the fair line used to be.

This is a nice touch that you will never notice when driving a normal service.

For the 8th secret in the game, you need to spawn at Fortis Green.

Once again, we need to head into Freecam and we need to fly to this farm over here.

Does it look slightly odd?

I say yes.

Here you can find a wonderful settlement in the middle of a field, consisting of a few houses, a couple of tractors, and what looks like a pub.

How odd.

I never thought I would find this in the game, but there we go.

Another easter egg that you can look out for on your next drive.

The 9th secret is just outside of St. Porthen, Ferry Road.

We do have quite a long walk, so let's time lapse it.

Wait!

It wasn't this way.

Don't go down this road if you want to find this Easter egg.

Go down the next one.

Here we are at the waterfront, and we now need to head into Freecam and fly to the other side of the river.

And we've made it.

Look at this.

A beautiful British house.

I have to say, I don't think they could make this house any more British.

Well, they could add another flag to the back, but they haven't.

And this is all right beneath the madness of the Royal Donner.

You would never know.

Next, we head to Fleetwood for our 10th secret of the video.

And this time, we need to fly a little way out of the station.

It is just up here.

Well, we have some broken level crossing barriers.

How cool is this?

Unfortunately, this isn't on the mainline, so you would never see this when driving, but you can find it on a branch to the right.

The 11th secret takes us to the seaside, near Longbow.

Once again, head into Freecam and fly over to this pier.

Here you can find a ferris wheel.

It would be quite cool if it moved.

Other than that, there isn't too much else to this secret.

For our 12th secret, we need to head to Bawtree Road

and fly over to something that used to be in the game.

Yes, that's right.

The old miniature railway.

Nowadays, it has been moved, and we only have a small section of track with Bertie, one of the engines.

This used to be a huge miniature railway, which was sadly removed in version 1.4.

On to the next secret.

We come to Freston Junction for the 13th secret, where we technically get two in one.

The first one is this way,

so I will see you there. And I am here.

100

This is a random platform in the middle of nowhere on a third rail branch line.

101

I wonder if the developers are planning to do anything with this in the future.

102

This is very cool, but we have something better just on the other side of Freston.

103

Once again, this is along a third rail line.

104

We need to head through this tunnel, and we will reach something not many players know about.

105

Here we are.

106

An underground station.

107

In British Railway.

108

Who knows why this is here, but it has been fully kitted out with seats and lights, so there was clearly some reason for it, but we are still yet to see underground stations in the game.

109

We did have another one just beneath Lee-Tung, which also got removed in version 1.4.

110

Why has everything cool been removed in 1.4?

111

Anyway, the 14th secret is here at Ashteen Bridge, and is not too far away.

112

We just need to head behind this house.

113

And this is it.

114

I wonder what this clue is.

115

It clearly says headquarters, referring to the 4th rail headquarters in Lee-Tung, but I have no idea what it is leading to.

116

It might be an old clue for Maxwell's location as he is not there currently.

117

If you know what this means, drop a comment down below.

118

Now for the final secret and we have saved the best for last.

119

It is just outside of Brynmouth Station.

120

Here it is.

121

I wonder why this shop is so scared of these houses.

122

Or maybe it is trying to scare us.

123

I love how much the developers have tried to make this game as funny as possible without ruining the driving experience.

124

Oh, I almost forgot.

125

We have a bonus 16th secret, this one being for Seneac.

126

Did you know that if you speed, you lose points, as well as this, if you run into red lights, you lose even more points.

127

If you don't do these things, you actually get coins at the end of the route.

128

That is a really obscure secret.

129

Well there we go.

130

There is the 15 secrets of British Railway that we found.

131

Let us know if you have found any other easter eggs like this.

132

Make sure to subscribe, as we are only 100 subscribers away from 20,000.

133

Let's get there by next week, as then the 20k merch drop will release.

134

We hope to see you in the next one.

135

And until next time, goodbye.

136

It's delicious.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
