1W16: 0700 London Victoria to Brighton (2011)
26th January 2020Your first duty of the day is to drive the 07:00 Gatwick Express service from London Victoria to Brighton, which is formed of a pair of Class 442s. You will be calling at Gatwick Airport, Burgess Hill, Hassocks and Preston Park before reaching Brighton. The scenario is set in the summer of 2011, however it follows the real timetables of the current respective TOCs for 31 January 2020, with some removal of services that did not run at this time. Extensive research has been done to ensure that all units have the correct livery and numbering for the date of the scenario, however there may be minor inaccuracies.

All of these add ons have so many requirements which I think is ridiculous especially when there at a RIDICULUOS price some of them are £20+!
Great effort have been made to make this scenario as accurate as possible, and therefore the list of requirement is higher.
Unfortunately immersive content of this quality requires a lot of DLC, if you don’t like it I suggest try creating your own scenarios with DLC that you think are appropriate.
So enjoyable I drove this scenario twice. Starting to get the hang of the 442, just got to remember that the buffer stops at Brighton always arrive sooner than expected!
I’m very glad you enjoyed the scenario!
