[Class 323221]

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering, is there a free and openly available to the public GSM-R Simulator?

Thank You,
Have a good evening.

I doubt it. That's very niche....

Oh. I saw a youtube video with a Trainer and they said that they were working on one and they would provide the link in a few months. That Video is 2 years old. Thanks for your help though.

Niche maybe, you underestimate the railway fans though.

Just like the real thing, when the real thing is working...

Love the 50mph ESR broadcast. That's made my day

I know GWR have an app for driving training on GSM-R, but I have no idea how public that application is.
Unsure if other First Group TOCs also have access to it.

That’s interesting - certainly looks pretty similar to the signallers’ side terminals l I have seen, although I’m nowhere near familiar enough with them to say whether it’s accurate.

It's honestly close to 100% accurate, as fsr as they went to the effort of recreating the 'clean' screen.

All the sounds and alerts are correct and the only big difference is the SMS function is no longer available in the real world for reasons.

We certainly have access to the GSM-R app at SWR, if it's the same one you mention. It's a pretty good little app to play around with and has scenarios you can simulate too.

The German Simulator Zusi simulates the GSM-R interface used in the rest of Europe. As far as I remember if you download ZusiDisplay here, you will get an free older version of the part of the system that does the GSM-R, which runs fine without the rest of the simulator.
