Train Drive ATS is a Japanese train simulator game series created by Takahiro Ito[1][2], with the first edition (Train Drive ATS) released for iOS and Android in 2012[1]. The games feature realistic driving physics and controls as well as fully operational signalling, level crossings and switches. The signalling incorporates the ATS system used widely in Japan, hence the "ATS" in the games' titles. Other features include other trains controlled by the game, on-train announcements, and large maps. #ADD DOWNLOADS

Train Drive ATS (First Edition)

[edit]

Train Drive ATS is the first edition of the series. It uses train models from the Tobu Railway[1]. All stations featured are intended to be fictional with "any resemblance to actual locales" being entirely coincidental according to the game's App store description and title screen.

The game is set on the fictional 'Tosai Railway', with the main line running from 'Asakusa-Motomachi' to 'Yorii-Machi', with a branch to 'Daishen'. An extension to 'Bushu-Fujiwara' is available at a cost of $1.99 and a "Special Express Spacia" train also available for $1.99. There are a total of 23 stations on the base version of the game with an additional #HOW MANY? on the Bushu-Fujiwara extension bringing the total to #HOW MANY?
