1S22: 1500 London Kings Cross to Stirling (2016)
1st March 2020You are in charge of 43366 (on hire from CrossCountry) and 43320 on the 15:00 Virgin Trains East Coast service from London Kings Cross to Stirling, however your journey will end at Edinburgh. You will be calling at York, Darlington, Newcastle, Berwick upon Tweed and Edinburgh. The scenario is set in May of 2016, however it follows the real timetables of the current respective TOCs for 6 February 2020. However, local services to/from Peterborough and Cambridge are using the timetable for the date of the scenario. Extensive research has been done to ensure high accuracy and detail, although there may still be some minor inaccuracies.
Note: Due to a small number of people having dump issues on load, a new version with slightly reduced static AI has now been included. That version should prevent those issues.

An excellent scenario that lets you enjoy the full 393 miles of the ECML Merge with far more immersion than the Quick Drive alternative. I had a seamless trip up the country, with good performance all the way. Highly recommended scenario download and I look forward to hopefully more releases in future.
Hi Daniel, thank you very much for the kind words! I am very glad you enjoyed the scenario.
what is “Leander Iversen”,I can’t found it,can you give me alink or something.
When the content is downloaded, you can see that there is a text file named “readme”. In that file, there are links to each of the requirements. You are most likely looking for this patch: https://alanthomsonsim.com/?download=jt-class-220-221-no-driver-no-passengers-pack
ok thanks,Now is another problem,now it says I missing the”class 142 DMS and DMSL”,but I have already install tha AP class 142 and the revamp Pack.
That would most likely be an ex-Northern Rail reskin from Major Wales Design.
Well, it looks like I can’t get it for forever,Does this have any impact on the scenicros?
(sorry about my english)
It should not impact the scenario, so you should be fine without it. I hope that helps!
ok,thanks very much.

It worked fine for me. A very enjoyable scenario, thank you for sharing!
Same for me, unable to load it, dumps as soon as it gets in-game. Gutted tbh, was looking forward to running this.
Very sorry to hear that, Chris! Quite strange, as several people have managed to run it. I will look into a second version with slightly reduced static AI, even though it’s already minimal.
It ran perfectly for me.
looks to be a great scenario, only issue within 60(ish) seconds it out of memories
specs, 9900k,32gb ram, 2080ti so they aren’t/shouldnt be an issue
please advise
Sorry to hear about the issue! I know it’s pushing the limits of what’s possible, but none of the testers experienced this. I’ve also ran it a few times without issues. Have you cleared the cache, then restarted the sim? Also, do you have all the requirements? If not, which ones are you missing?
i will try clearing the cache and restarting the sim, and no missing reqs at present
Hopefully that’ll help! If not, let me know, and I will investigate.
