A very nice drive, but I don’t understand why the timing points are put in to a scenario, when they are impossible to achieve. In this one we are held at Deansgate until after the scheduled arrival for MC Oxford road, thus making it impossible to arrive at Oxford Road on time. Then of course the “Bad Luck, you failed to complete the scenario” A lovely drive in my opinion, spoiled by this because I like numerous others, having driven as per instructions given, then to get to this impossible situation.
Thanks Benelena for the feedback! I’ll come back and revisit the scenario, removing the timings. Thanks for playing and the feedback!
Thanks for the feedback beninabox. In no way was I complaining, but the lovely drive I had would be even better without those timings. I will certainly look forward to running the scenario again.
Isn’t LIV – MIA via WAC operated by Northern with 195s?
Yes, I believe so. This particular scenario is based off of a one off Sunday timetable.
