Hello! This is one scenario for DTG’s “West Coast Mainline Over Shap” route… 

DESCRIPTION: You are at the controls of 6S13, the morning MGR empties heading north from Bescot towards Ayrshire. Today’s train is made up of around 30 empty hoppers, bound for re-loading at New Cumnock and Killoch collieries. This working is already unusual: rather than the typical EWS Class 60 or 66, control has diagrammed a Class 92 electric locomotive. These locos are normally confined to Channel Tunnel and intermodal duties, not heavy coal on the WCML, so it’s a rare sight to see one up here on an MGR. Year: 2000

TRACK COVERED: Preston to Carlisle

TRACTION: Ex-BR Trainload 92021

DURATION: 120 minutes
