[CH] 1E23 13:33 Carlisle – Leeds (23/09/04)
7th December 2020Loco-hauled service trains made a welcome return to the Settle-Carlisle line in October 2003 following the introduction of a daily Class 37-hauled return service between Leeds and Carlisle. Operated by Arriva Trains Northern, the service ran until the end of the summer timetable in September 2004.
This scenario, in 37408, is based on the DVD ‘The Long (Short) Drag’ where Locomaster Profiles were allowed permission to film and document a cab ride onboard the 1E23 from Carlisle all the way to Leeds on the 23rd of September, 2004.
Great care has been taken with this scenario in that all ‘W’ boards are in correct places as well as track workers and TSRs (TSRs do not apply to you though)

Any issues with this scenario, don’t hesitate to leave a comment below.
The scenario seems to end at the buffers at Carlisle. I think its pathed wrong.
Fantastic scenario. Struggled with the timings a bit, but Arriva IRL so not complaining LOL. Would of been nice to see some AI along the S&C, though guessing there wasn’t any passed as it’s based on the IRL run.
Judging from the cab ride video I watched, there was no other ai apart from the coal at the very start of the scenario. Oh and the timings are from an actual timetable it ran. Glad you enjoyed
Good Scenario would have been nice if there was more AI though. Overall good drive on the S&C. First time i drove on the S&C in ages.
Lovely run down the S&C – it’d be nice if this was still a regular service
