Finally, on the rear supplying some reliability is 43177 which has been running with its MTU since March. Will be an easy run just after the evening peak in South Wales and traffic will be light.

(2007) 1L90 17:30 SWA-PAD Part 1.
To start the installation of the scenario, unzip the .7z file.
First scenario(s) I drove from you and what should I say… Not gonna lie, this two-piece scenario is probably one of the best I have ever driven in train sim. Despite the lenght of over 3 hours it was a pleasure to drive with the nice evening atmosphere in the first, and the beautifully lit stations in the dark the second part. The AI (witch probably was a lot of work to do) was also very nice, particularly in the second part towards London.
For everyone who gets the error messages at the start of the second part: I got rid of them by deleting the 2N58 service. By doeing so, I was able to drive till the end into Paddington without any derailment.
Looking forward to drive more of your creations, keep up the good work.
Cheers from Switzerland.
Thank you very much Stefan. Really means a lot to hear that you enjoyed them both.
QUICK FIX: To fix the AI and pathing issues, open up the scenario in the editor, and delete train 1M71 at reading.
When loading this part there was multiple errors of ai being blocked, which I F2+Cancel’ed and continued on. At reading east you get switched onto the down lines from the up, but the switch on the down appears to be set for train 1C28. 1C28 never moves throughout the scenario, assuming this is to do with the ai being blocked errors, and this train not moving then screws the points.

Here’s some more information on the issue with this scenario
Hi, sorry about that this was an issue some people were having, however I wasn’t experiencing this during testing so I am unsure of how to correct it.
I also got derailed at Reading East junction after departing Reading on green. Shame, looking forward to finishing this scenario.
I’ll look into this and try to fix it now, sorry for any inconvenience caused.
I’m very sorry for this but i think it’s an issue with the route. Western Mainlines isn’t the most stable and these problems don’t occur with me when testing so I don’t know what to do to rectify them.
I got derailed on a point switched against the train at Reading East junction after departing Reading on a Green, any ideas?
Not sure sorry. I think it’s just Western Mainlines being Western Mainlines
No worries, Western Mainlines can be a pain sometimes. It was a cracking run until then though, and Part 1 was very enjoyable.
Thanks for understanding and as mentioned on Wednesday’s stream Western Mainlines isn’t the most stable and these problems don’t occur with me when testing so I don’t know what to do to rectify them.
I have the same problem – As you leave Reading the Consist is switched to the down line but the 2nd switch is against and the consist is derailed

I’ll have a look at this and put a way point in. Sorry for the inconvenience.
