The date is the 28th of September, 1985, and the last day of the summer timetable.

Today you are in charge of the 1O86 10:50 Penzance to Brighton Service, with an unusual triple header at the helm – in the shape of 31439, 33054 and 33118.

You are due to leave at 10:50, stopping at St Erth, Hayle, Camborne, Redruth, Truro, St Austell, Par, Bodmin Parkway, Liskeard, Plymouth (stopping for 6 minutes), Newton Abbott, and Exeter St Davids, arriving at 14:06.

Timings are tight on this one, so no hanging around to admire the scenery.

Please note that this scenario is based on an actual working that took place on that day in September 1985. I’m not sure if the triple header started from Penzance or Plymouth, or even Exeter – but I’ve assumed it was from Penzance.

All other AI trains are based on workings featured in the All Lines Timeable from 1985, apart from the odd one or two added for good measure.

About the author

Nearly all my scenarios are based in the 1980’s and 1990’s – an era that I remember with fond memories – from trainspotting at my home station of Winchester, to travelling around the country, once I had started earning real money! Unless mentioned, all scenarios are based on real workings – with information taken from actual copies of the BR Timetable for the year that the scenario is based in, and information taken from resource sites, such as The Rail Gen Archive, and various photo websites. I hope you enjoy the scenarios you find here, just as much as I enjoy making them. And please let me have feedback – even negative.
