7th April 2026 2 By Chuntley

This is a scenario for the ATS “Leeds Lines” Phase 2.

As of the May 2019 timetable, every Sunday, CrossCountry operated three southbound services from York to Doncaster via Leeds – 1V50, 1V52, and 1V54 – providing a reliable connection across Yorkshire. In this scenario, you take over 1V54 at York on the morning of 21st July 2019, operating a 9-car set of 221122 and 220016.

Although drivers on this service normally head to Sheffield via Moorthorpe, avoiding Doncaster entirely, this working was signed to cover York–Doncaster, via Leeds, for route retention and to maintain competency amongst CrossCountry drivers. You will follow the route through Leeds and Wakefield Westgate, maintaining the timetable and managing a busy but enjoyable run down to Doncaster.

Departure: York 10:34
Calling at: Leeds 11:00, Wakefield Westgate 11:22, Doncaster 11:28

 

Date: 21st July 2019
