Huge thanks to Thomas King for testing this scenario in its development stages.
I do hope you enjoy this scenario.
Excellent scenario, Thank you.
Thank you!
Should have added- It’s a known bug in TS that the player train moves slowly even when it is stopped. I would recommend checking your settings and if automatic coupling is enabled, I’d switch it off. That will help in this sort of situation.
I’m assuming you uncouple the class 66 at the rear before departing from Euston? I didn’t and then wondered why acceleration was a bit sluggish!
The 66 should not be coupled, you may have rolled back and it may have coupled automatically.
