2J47 12:05 Gospel Oak to Barking
2nd August 2020 7 By The Trainspotter from Tauranga*This is not a scenario for the default GOBLIN, but rather the electrified version which is avaliable on Steam Workshop*.
In 2018, the electrification of the Gospel Oak to Barking line was completed. However, it wasn’t until mid-2019 when electric trains finally started running on the line. The eight Class 172’s that used to run on the line have now been transferred to West Midlands Railway. New electric units – the Class 710 – were built by Bombardier Transportation for service on the GOBLIN, and just the Overground in general. These units took much longer to enter service than expected, and some 378’s were sent to the GOBLIN as a stop-gap measure.
Today (in this scenario, that is) you’ll be driving a Class 378 in the weird pseudo-Aventra livery on the first afternoon service from Gospel Oak to Barking. You will call at the following stations on the way:
Upper Holloway
Crouch Hill
Harringay Green Lanes
South Tottenham
Blackhorse Road
Walthamstow Queens Road
Leyton Midland Road
Leytonstone High Road
Wanstead Park
Woodgrange Park
Barking
Duration – 44 minutes
Difficulty Level – Medium
In real life, the 378’s that were sent to the GOBLIN line were reduced from 5-car to 4-car formations. This was due to the shorter platforms on the line, and I have acknowledged this change in the scenario.
The required DLC and 3rd party items for this scenario are listed below:

EWS Class 66 v2.0
London Overground Class 378 Capitalstar

Class 387/3 c2c
About the author
Hello. I'm Callum and I come from a land down under where women glow and men plunder OK, Men At Work references aside, I come from a place not too far away from Australia that is called New Zealand. I've been playing Train Simulator since December 2013 (TS2014 days). I like to make scenarios set in the modern-era (i.e. 21st century), and prefer to make short/medium scenarios with no more than 20 Ai trains.

Nice scenario, Thank you.
I liked to play this scenario, but it’s sad for me to drive the train with default sounds. Unfortunately, i have not got the AP sounds for these (Elecrostar) trains. Thank you for yours scenarios. I wiil be glad to see more scenarios from you!
Can you make the scenario from Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston or back?
I tried to, but for some stupid and inexcusable reason the game started to crash everytime I put a 378 on the track.
are you Russian?
Manage to fix it anyway, 2J42 seemed to be reluctant to leave South Tottenham thereby 2J44 running into it, so adjusted 2J42’s timing by a couple of seconds and that sorted it out, ran fine after that, very nice scenario!
AI collision between 2J42 & 2J44 while I was stopped at Walthamstow Queens Road.
