6th February 2026 6 By Chuntley

This is a scenario for the WCML Over Shap Route.

Disruption yesterday in the form of the OHLE coming down at Ribble Jn meant that one of the two Class 802s used to cover 397 fleet unavailability were terminated at Preston and stabled at Croft Street Sidings.

With the taxi having dropped you off at Croft Street this morning you are now on site and required to access the unit and start up 802204 from cold before working ECS up to Oxenholme and then forming a passenger service to Liverpool as far as Preston, where a Manchester Piccadilly based colleague will take over the train.

  • AP Class 150/0 “NORTHERN”
  • AP Class 156

About the author

All my scenarios follow actual WTTs, these span span the 1980s to modern day – from Class 1 expresses to heavy freights, with plenty of chasing yellows. I play with trains for a living, and when I’m not on the real railway, I’m usually playing with ones that are 76 times smaller and made from plastic. I’m also quite keen on repainting and weathering these. Besides playing trains I also play a certain six stringed instrument.

    Very visually pleasing scenario indeed, thanks!
    I can confirm the stuck signals.

      Really makes a difference with AP Weather. Thanks for the info on signals I’ll have a look into this and re-upload. The Oxenholme Signal, did you roll right up to it or immediately tab? I have a feeling the game has done some form of approach control on that one possibly

    Really enjoyable and some stunning weather!

    Potentially a couple of false reds:
    PN226 Protecting Lancaster at the south seems to stick even when the Northern unit you follow is long out of the way.
    CE43 GPL protecting the switch from Down to Up after Oxenholme also staying red.
