Hello! This is one scenario for Just Trains’ lovely “Midland Mainline” route… 

DESCRIPTION: To assist in fleet availability and balancing requirements, a small pocket of runs across the Peak District to/from Manchester Piccadilly and Buxton are diagrammed for 6 car operations, although the rear unit is locked out of use due to shorter platform lengths across the old LNWR route. 2H94 (the 0852-ex Manchester) is one of these services – today you oversee the train throughout the entirety of its journey, calling at all stations. A typical murky October morning greets us in the North, hopefully that all clears up as you ascend into the Derbyshire Hills! Year: 2009
