Notes and Known Issues:
– It hasn’t been possible to exactly recreate the consists seen during this time but I have attempted to match these as closely as possible from images taken between May 2003 and Late 2004.
– Freight services are additional and not part of the WTT this scenario is based upon (They’re also not essential)
– There may be a signal stuck at danger on approach to St Pancras, you’ll need to request to pass this.

That’ll be all.
