4L89 Basford Hall – Felixstowe

3rd September 2024 3 By catsrcool

These Scenarios are based on the current working timetable and cover the portions between Rugby and Ipswich.

I have had to use artistic licence in some instances, for example the exact route over the North London Line does not exist in TSC. There are three scenarios to cover the route taken.

I suggest for your peace of mind that you have async enabled. In testing I found that most scenarios only worked properly clearing the cache and restarting TSC.

Your maximum permitted speed in all scenarios is 75 MPH, in practice there will be little time spent at top speed as other services with higher priority than you are ahead of you.

You have a choice of driving either Class 86 cans or Class 90 Skodas. I did not publish the scenarios that covered Basford Hall – Rugby or Ipswich – Felixstowe as there were only 14 AI services between three scenarios.

Part 01 Rugby – WEFOC (Wembley European Freight Operating Centre) 100 minutes. This is during the busy morning peak on the WCML and has over 40 AI services. Route https://alanthomsonsim.com/product/alan-thomson-simulation-northampton-loop-for-west-coast-mainline-south/

Part 02 Willesden – Stratford 65 minutes. Thread your way across the North London lines, be careful as the signal blocks are close together and some are barely longer than the train. This is Danny’s updated version, the scenario will not work on just the original North London Lines. Route https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=874757193

Part 03 Stratford – Ipswich 80 minutes. A lovely drive in spring across Essex but watch out for slow passenger services ahead of you when you get on the dual track section. Route https://alanthomsonsim.com/downloads/ats-the-great-eastern-mainline-gemma-phase-one-1/
