(Update: Corrected date in description and cab clock)

On a quiet spring evening, take an eastbound TPE service across the Pennines from Manchester Oxford Road to Leeds. As night draws in, the timetable is considerably more relaxed than it is during the day, so don’t worry about hugging the speed limit too closely.

This is a 70-minute scenario for the ATS TPE Merge using the ATS/Imbue Studios Class 185. Unfortunately, the pack does not include a PIS code for the specific stopping pattern in this scenario, so you will have to drive without announcements.

As usual, I have tried to recreate all services on the route as accurately as possible, though some substitutions have been made due to availability of stock in TSC.

REQUIREMENTS

To play this scenario, you will require the following assets AND their associated dependencies:
