Hi, and thank you for downloading this scenario.

To install, simply copy the enclosed ‘Content’ folder to your Railworks folder. This is a ‘Standard’ scenario and is named “[MJC] 1V75 0520 Holyhead – Cardiff Central”

Summary
Following privatisation, Wales & West operated one train per day each way between Holyhead and Cardiff Central. The unit stabled overnight in Holyhead, and the services were crewed by North Western Trains (later First North Western) traincrews on the norht Wales Coast. Today you are driving 158867 which carries a prototype for a new Wales & West livery, which ultimately was not adopted.

Scenario run-through
This scenario should last around 85 minutes. Having taken over this train at Llandudno Jn you will drive as far as Crewe. It’s a gloriously crisp morning on the coast. There is a ballast train booked in front of yours. Unfortunately it has had to be stopped at Mostyn as the tail lamp has failed. The driver is able to replace it and continue but you will likely be delayed. There is recovery time in the schedule however, and as the ballast train was running early you should be back on time at Chester.

Big shout out to Major Wales for creating this reskin as it rekindles happy memories from my early railway career.

I do hope you enjoy this scenario.
