Scenario run-through
This scenario should last around 70 minutes. You begin in Grantshouse Down Loop, where you have been looped to allow the first northbound East Coast HST to overtake. Please set-up and prepare to get underway when you get the signal. This train set out from Crewe in the early hours and has run via Carlisle and Hexham, before a leg-stretch stop at Newcastle. You took over there and are now driving this leg through to Edinburgh. Unusually, you have passenger pick-ups at Dunbar, Drem, Longniddry, and Musselburgh. Your maximum speed is 80mph.
I do hope you enjoy this scenario.
Update Log :
* v1.1 01/06/20 – Amended due to occasional A.I. issues at Edinburgh.
Hi Matt, I ran v1.1 today and completed with no problem at all. Great scenario and Thank you.
That’s great, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for letting me know it worked!
Class 67 goes up the rear of the XC HST at Edinburgh !!
Hi James, thanks for letting me know. The HST should have long gone. I will take a look this afternoon. Just checking, do you have all of the rolling stock requirements? Cheers, Matt.
Hi James,
I’ve run through the scenario again, and I cannot replicate that problem – the HST passes the player between Edinburgh and Drem as intended. If you can confirm whether you are running with all the required assets that might help?
Cheers, Matt
Same thing happened to me, but I managed to get into the platform before the 67 hit the HST.
This is really strange. I watched the YouTube video and everything else was right, so it isn’t the ‘crawling AI’ issue, and all the requirements were in. I will have another look. Just a thought, which version of the route are you running? Wonder if maybe I’ve missed an update. Cheers, Matt.
The most latest version.
I’m going to try something tonight or tomorrow, have had some extra feedback on Facebook and it’s doing some odd things.
