Hello! This is one scenario for JustTrains’ “Midland Mainline” route… 

DESCRIPTION: On a lovely August afternoon, take control of a singular Voyager between Sheffield and Derby non-stop with a Virgin Trains CrossCountry service bound for Plymouth. Around this time, there was a trial whereby Anglo-Scots trains had a class ‘9’ headcode which easily identified these services to signallers so that they could be pathed accordingly to avoid knock on delays.
