TFW’s Support for SWTrains
SWTrains is proud to be supported by Transport for Wales in our mission to create authentic, high-quality railway simulations. TfW has shown encouragement for our work—particularly on the Heart of Wales Line—by allowing the use of official branding and assets to help us deliver realistic and engaging experiences. This support reflects a shared commitment to celebrating Welsh railways and promoting public understanding through innovative digital projects.
This support includes access to:
-
Official Transport for Wales logos and branding
-
Livery references and design guidelines
-
Publicly available timetables and route data
-
General mission alignment for awareness projects (e.g. trespass prevention, mental health)
-
Other support as appropriate (e.g. visual references, informal guidance, etc.)
This support enables us to deliver immersive and realistic experiences to our users, reflecting the true essence of Welsh railways.
Commitment to Authenticity
​
By aligning with TFW’s standards and utilizing their official assets, we ensure that our simulations not only look authentic but also resonate with the operational and aesthetic qualities of Wales’s transport network. This collaboration underscores our dedication to providing high-fidelity simulations that both educate and engage our audience.

The Class 197 - The Identity of SWTrains
The Transport for Wales Class 197 is at the heart of SWTrains’ identity. More than a featured unit, it’s our creative foundation — symbolising progress, realism, and our deep connection to Wales. With TfW’s support, we’ve brought the 197 to life in simulation with accuracy, pride, and purpose.
