A pair of scenarios for the ECML Merge route, intended to represent a typical duty for a Doncaster-based GNER driver in 1998.

You have booked on at Doncaster and will relieve a semi-fast service from London to Edinburgh and drive it to its destination. You are booked to call at York, Northallerton, Darlington, Durham, Newcastle and Edinburgh Waverley.

1E20 18.00 Glasgow Central – London King’s Cross :
Drive the last southbound GNER departure of the day from Edinburgh. As it’s the last train of the day it calls at Dunbar, Berwick, Alnmouth, Morpeth, Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, Northallerton, York and Doncaster. On weekdays this train runs through to London, but on Saturdays it reverses at Doncaster and continues to Leeds.

About the author

Hi! I'm a bit of a timetable nerd, and aim to make my TS scenarios as true to life as possible. For scenarios set in recent years, I try to use the actual rolling stock allocated on the given date. I thoroughly test my scenarios before I upload them but if there's anything causing an issue please tell me so that I can try to sort it. I also produce a limited number of payware scenario packs under the name 'WTT Scenarios'. These generally contain higher levels of immersion and include many operational railway practices. These are also available here on Alan Thomson Sim. Happy driving!
