1B53 06.42 Cardiff Central – Fishguard Harbour (2018) – Updated

5th January 2023 2 By Matt Carroll

Hi, and thank you for downloading this 80 minute scenario for the South Wales Main Line (de-branded) route by DTG. This is an update of a scenario that I originally released in 2019 for the original branded version of the route. It has been transferred to the new route and updated with newer stock etc.
To install, simply copy the enclosed ‘Content’ folder to your Railworks folder. This is a ‘Standard’ scenario and is named “[MJC] 1B53 0642 Cardiff Central – Fishguard Harbour”

Summary
On Saturday 16th June 2018, Arriva Trains Wales hired 158766 from Great Western Railway and allocated it to a diagram that would see it visit Fishguard Harbour and Pembroke Dock. You are working the first leg, as far as Swansea.
Starting on Canton depot, a shed driver has prepared the unit so you will take over ready to depart. After changing ends in Cardiff Central and departing at 0642, you will be running non-stop to Bridgend, then calling at all stations to Swansea.
