PLEASE NOTE!!!!

To run part 1 of this scenario, you MUST first run the included 1D25 PRE-LOAD free roam scenario. Have a fly around between Kings Cross, Finsbury Park, Hornsey and Alley Palley and allow the game to load in a few London ‘tiles’. Then, exit and load 1D25 Part 1 as normal. Part 2 between Doncaster and Leeds can be loaded normally.

Additionally, ALL statics have been left out of this scenario, depots, freight yards and all. Self explanatory as to why.
