Here’s a nice and simple scenario for the Southampton to Bournemouth route by Dovetail Games. It takes place during the rush hour/peak period on a Wednesday afternoon.

In said scenario, you’ll be driving the Bournemouth to St. Denys portion of a Poole to London service. This service is operated by South Western Railway, with the traction being Class 450 Desiro No. 450090. As is the case with many other 450’s, this one is still in the old South West Trains livery (albeit with SWR logos applied). Some other trains that you’ll pass in this scenario do carry the SWR livery.

On this run to St. Denys, you will stop for passengers at the following stations:

Pokesdown
Christchurch
Hinton Admiral
New Milton
Sway
Brockenhurst
Ashurst New Forest
Totton
Southampton Central
St. Denys

Duration – 55 minutes
Difficulty Level – Easy

This scenario requires the following DLC and third-party stuff (the names in brackets are those of the websites where you can find this stuff):

(Steam)
**EWS Class 66 v2.0**
**Freightliner Class 66 v2.0**
*Portsmouth Direct Line – London Waterloo to Portsmouth*
South Western Mainline – Southampton to Bournemouth

(Armstrong Powerhouse)
**Class 66 Enhancement Pack**
Class 220/221 Sound Pack (Pro) – (optional)
Class 444/450 Enhancement Pack

(Just Trains)
Voyager Advanced (the original, and not the 2019 version)

(SimVue)
SWR Desiro Twin Pack

*Despite the inclusion of a 444 and 450 in the default SWML pack, I did not use them in this scenario because they’re not compatible with the AP enhancement pack*.

**The 66 packs are used just to make the sidings around Southampton look more realistic. Even though they’re not absolutely essential for this scenario to work, I still recommend having them installed**.
