1D80 10.15 Blackpool North – Holyhead (1993) – Updated

2nd January 2023 2 By Matt Carroll

Hi, and thank you for downloading this 115 minute scenario for the TFW-branded version of the North Wales Coast route. This is an overhaul of a scenario that I released in 2019 for the original ATW-branded version of the route, with some newer products now utilised.

To install, simply copy the enclosed ‘Content’ folder to your Railworks folder. This is a ‘Standard’ scenario and is named “[MJC] 1D80 1015 Blackpool North – Holyhead”

Summary
On a busy Summer Saturday, drive 37429 on a Regional Railways service down the North Wales coast. Year: 1993.
You join the run sat outside Chester station awaiting the signal into your booked platform. Once back underway you will call at Chester, Prestatyn, Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno Junction, Bangor, and Holyhead. On arrival you will then run-round the stock ready for the return working.
It’s a busy Summer Saturday along the coast and trains are very busy. Class 37/4s are making their mark on these workings this Summer, although class 31s can still be seen out and about.
