1N83- 1106- London Kings Cross- York
22nd May 2020Background:
With the introduction of LNER’s brand new Class 800 ‘Azuma’ trains it lead to a rare opportunity back in the summer of 2019 where 3 types of traction were operating on the East Coast Mainline for LNER. You had the brand new IETs, the classic HSTs and what you will be driving today, the Class 91, 225 sets. With the HSTs being the first to be withdrawn in December of 2019, it was the changing of the baton for the East Coast, as the Azumas began their first few months of service the HSTs, loved by so many, were in their last months of
service (for LNER at least).
In today’s scenario you have taken over the 1106 service from London Kings Cross to York at Peterborough, upon departure at Peterborough at 11:59 you will call at Grantham for 1219, Newark North Gate at 1232, Retford at 1247, Doncaster for 1305 and finally due to arrive into York at 1329.

Hi, After you deleted the GC consist, I ran the scenario again. This time I got to Donc as before, exit signal from P8 was green. Red bar disappeared, began to depart, but as I did so 2B15 was heading in to P8 leading to a head on collision. At that I got the Game over due to the driver of 2B15 having left his path. Luckily as I got the right away, I had saved so I reloaded. As the scenario reloaded the exit signal from P8 was red, but 2B15 this time went in to P6, my signal changed to green and I was able to complete the journey to York. Thank you, a great scenario.
Everything work fine, arrived at York 5 minutes early. Thanks for the scenario.
I had exactly the same problem as damario.
Sorry about that, I will look into this, it worked fine for me in testing, but I will have another look.
Hi, thank you for the scenario. It was fine until when I got to Doncaster. The grand central service suddenly running very slow so I couldn’t depart. I couldn’t overtake him as well because of the junction couldn’t be switched as well. Is there something wrong about the service priority? The grand central service was given a green light but it was running very slow and I had to exit the scenario because of the very long wait.
Sorry about that, I will look into this, it worked fine for me in testing, but I will have another look.
Haha I’ve been looking for that as well mate
