9th August 2022Update 1.01 – missing requirement added to list (Class 322 North Western Trains reskin)
It’s a fine late spring day, and you’ll be driving 1M94, the 0630 departure from London Euston to Glasgow Central. The four scenarios in this pack allow you to drive the full run as follows:

Part 2: DTG WCML Trent Valley – Rugby to Stafford (50 minutes)
Part 3: ATS WCML Midlands and North West – Stafford to Preston (70 minutes)
Part 4: ATS WCML North West and Scotland – Preston to Glasgow Central (160 minutes)
Your traction is the AP Class 87 in Virgin Trains Livery. Year: 1998.
AUTHOR’S NOTE
This is my first attempt at scenarios this far back in the past. I’ve researched the pack carefully to make it realistic for the period it is set in but there may be some errors liveries or formations that have crept in. Let me know in the comments if you spot anything amiss.
INSTALLATION
Copy the included “Content” folder into your “Railworks” folder. This can usually be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common. If you are having trouble locating the folder, go to your Steam library, right click on “Train Simulator” and choose “Properties” from the menu. In the pop-up window that opens, click the “Local Files” tab near the top and then click on the button marked “Browse Local Files”. This will open your “Railworks” folder.
Please note that this pack is quite demanding. 16Gb RAM is recommended.
REQUIREMENTS
Web links to all requirements are provided in the included Readme file. There is also a spreadsheet included that shows which DLC is required for which scenario. Some of these items have their own requirements and you should carefully check the download page to ensure that you have all of them. The exception to that is the downloads of the Virtual District Line and the freeware WCML South v5.3. These are needed to create the Bakerloo Line tube trains seen in part 1. You do not need to install all of the requirements for either of these routes.
Items marked with * are used for static consists or decoration. You can play the scenarios without them, but some cosmetic items will be missing.

This is a great scenario pack. Have you thought of doing the return journey (GLC-EUS) with a Mk3 DVT?
Thanks! There’s already a lot of scenarios going the other direction that use the DVT by other authors (for example https://alanthomsonsim.com/downloads/ss-1m31-15-30-glasgow-central-london-euston-new-version/). I might do more 90s or early 2000s stuff eventually though, so keep an eye out ;).
Hi there
there seem to be some errors on this scenario at the end of part 3 and start of part 4
Part 3 is a collision come up going through Leyland between the Buxton to Blackpool north train
Part 4 the timing is 09:33 away from Preston but the road is given to the 156 on platform 1 leaving me sitting at Preston
Is there any chance of having a look at this?
thanks in advance
Will look into this when I can, might be a few days as I’m away from my PC right now.
Hi James, I have now tested both scenarios, and neither of the errors that you mention occurred for me. Please could you make sure that you definitely have all of the requirements for the scenarios installed, and also all of the requirements for the routes. Make sure that you have re-started TS before launching the scenario. You can also try re-downloading and reinstalling the scenarios. Unfortunately I can’t help much beyond this general advice, as I can’t reproduce the errors on my system.
