1W02 0708 Leeds to Aberdeen
10th June 2020It’s 5th June 2020 and you’re booked to drive 1W02, the 07:08 LNER service from Leeds to Aberdeen as far as Dundee. Although services are ramping up to normal following the COVID-19 lockdown, the ECML is still relatively quiet. An Azuma operated this service in reality but, because no bi-mode Azuma yet exists for TS, you’ll be driving an HST. I may well re-release this scenario with a bi-mode Azuma if and when one is made.
Two versions of the scenario are included, one for the Kuju HST with the AP MTU enhancement pack and reskins from ATS (Original), and one for the new DTG LNER HST (New HST).
The scenario is split into three parts:
Part 1 – Leeds to York
Part 2 – York to Edinburgh
Part 3 – Edinburgh to Dundee
The total driving time is around 4 hours 35 minutes.
Installation
=============
Unzip the appropriate .rwp (Original or New HST) file and install using Utilities.exe. Alternatively, you can manually extract its contents to your railworks folder. All three parts are including in the one .rwp.

A great scenario, I enjoyed every minute, and the scenario ran faultlessly Leeds to Edinburgh. Thank you.
Great to hear you enjoyed it and that it all worked well – thanks for the comment. 🙂
