This simulation covers the West Coastway line between Chichester and Cosham, as well as the Portsmouth Direct Line between Havant and Portsmouth.

The route between Chichester and Havant was first opened by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in March 1847, and onwards to Portsmouth later that year. The London and South Western Railway subsequently opened a route from Fareham to Portcreek Junction (via Cosham) in 1848, and the stretch onto Portsea island came under joint ownership. The Portsmouth Direct Line opened as far as Havant in January 1859, however disagreements between the LBSCR and LSWR meant through trains to Portsmouth were discontinued after several weeks, not returning until August that year.

Services today are operated by South Western Railway to London and Southampton, Southern to London, Southampton, Littlehampton and Brighton, and Great Western Railway to Bristol and Cardiff.
