World of Subways

World of Subways is a series of subway simulations created by TML-Studios. There are currently four volumes. All volumes are standalone programs and cannot be modified. Each volume has only one route included with no other routes available, with the exception of Volume 1; however, the total amount of drivable track in Volume 1 is significantly less than other volumes with only 13.8 miles included.

Engine	Vision Engine
Platform	Windows
Release	May 25, 2011
Genre	Subway simulation

Volume 3 continues the World of Subways series with the Circle line service of the London Underground. The Circle Line covers 27km (16.8mi) of track and 35 stations, including the extension to Hammersmith, that runs above and below ground through London. The Circle Line operates in two directions: "Inner Rail" (anti-clockwise, Edgware Road - Hammersmith) and "Outer Rail" (clockwise, Hammersmith - Edgware Road).

Unlike the previous volumes, players have a visible character in third-person view, but the majority of the simulation is still in first-person view. Also unlike the previous versions, there is no exterior camera and the player can board and travel on other Circle line trains not controlled by the player. The only usable rolling stock is the C Stock subway cars. The D Stock is also included, which runs on the District line but the player can not board or control this type of rolling stock. The C Stock was also included on another line, the Hammersmith & City line, and again the player cannot board or control this train.

Unlike all the other volumes of this series, Volume 3 was published by Excalibur Publishing as well as Aerosoft.

The game was released in May 2011. World of Subways 3 was delisted on March 3, 2025, following the expiration of its licensing rights. The game is no longer available for purchase as its Steam page has been deactivated and the game removed from the Aerosoft website.

Volume 4 was set on the New York City Subway system in New York City, based on the 7 service. Aerosoft, the publisher of the series, had initially announced that this edition would be set on a line on the Paris Métro. The game was released for download on March 23, 2015, and a physical release followed on April 2.

Volume 4 marked the first time the series was not set in the era of its release; instead, it was set in the late 1980s-early 1990s, when the R33S and R36 subway cars were still operational, and prior to the opening of 34th Street–Hudson Yards in 2015.
