What are Rail Journeys?
Journey mode allow you to select a route, then be taken on a guided experience which will take you through all the highlights of that route. This is a great option for beginners as it will start you off with training modules and steadily progress on to more complex challenges. Journey mode will remember which scenarios you have completed, so you can carry on when you left off next time, regardless of progress made in other game modes.
