On a hazy spring morning, take 802202 across the Pennines on the first Hull to Liverpool service of the day. Expect a quiet journey with lots of 185s passing by en route to Manchester, and a variety of Northern services beyond.

 

This is a 90-minute scenario for the ATS TPE Merge. I have tried to recreate all services on this route as accurately as possible, making the list of requirements quite long. However, many of these are for static consists only and are not vital for the scenario to function.

 

Please note that many of Northern’s multiple units are not currently respresented in TSC, and as such, substitutions have been made where necessary. Most notably, Alistair Cowell’s 166 reskin replaces all Class 333 and 195 units, while all Class 331s have been replaced by 323s, and all 769s have been replaced with the externally identical 319.
