1S44 14:40 London Victoria To Ramsgate
29th November 2019This scenario will take approximately 58 minutes to complete.
On an overcast Autumns afternoon you will be taking charge of 1S44, the 14:40 Southeastern service from London Victoria to Ramsgate.
In this scenario you will be driving as far as Rainham, calling at Bromley South, Longfield, Meopham, Rochester, Chatham, and Gillingham along the way.
The lines are busy though you should have a clear run through the journey.
This run has been based on accurate train times verified against Realtime Trains.
Stock used as AI has been done on guesswork based on the Classes of units specified on Realtime Trains. I intended to use the original Croydon tram, but for some reason was only getting the Manchester metro reskinned version appearing in the scenario editor, so it’s not entirely correct, though it’s there for the purpose of the scenario being totally complete.

Really good scenario, thanks.
Thanks for the positive feedback Larwood, glad you enjoyed it
Really good scenario but the timings again, you can’t drive properly (i.e. pull off reasonably) Notch 3, with 20MPH out of Victoria, a very long time of the passenger counting down (Bromley South is the killer) Meopham isn’t far but again by time the unit catches speed you’re late.
Real life timings against Train Simulators limitations aren’t working for me hence why it’s hard to complete some scenarios. For this i’ll try again but it may mean breaking speed limits to make the time.
Nice scenario with lots of AI traffic. Found it a little boring however becuase all the AI is going in the opposite direction, I feel if you added the traffic in same direction I would have come accross a few different signal aspects, not jsut green all the way. Still enjoyable though, thanks!
Hi Kieran, I Based all of the AI traffic on information from Real Time Trains so the traffic in both directions was accurate based upon that, thanks for the positive feedback anyway
Hi, fair enough, just couldn’t see anything in front of me on map. Still had fun driving! 🙂
