GR 5340 Edinburgh to London Kings Cross
21st June 2021Edinburgh to London KX Express Timetabled service..You are arriving at Waverley Platform 11. This is a genuine attempt to accurately depict the 1100 hrs GR 5340 LNER service to London Kings Cross….An Exception should be made because of upgrading to the route in the real world, I have also used a full 9 car consist, hence the start on platform 11 instead of Platform 6.This is how the service should have looked had it not been for the upgrading to the route and Covid restrictions. As a driver, you can control the speed of your train so as to arrive at the scheduled time. .AI’s have been given an unpredictable element and I have used artistic license for freight and steam excursion AI’s so you might encounter them outside of schedule…..Just as you might in real life. It is a long trip time of 4hrs and 39 minutes if you can stay the whole course in one sitting. Have a good trip. I hope you enjoy.

would be nice if you could REMOVE the rolling start and replace the consist with the version from armstrong powerhouse
Such a great drive but like above comment actual times would be helpful if shown and as above would be great if you could do a kx to edn.
well done.
Hi mate, unfortunately I cannot get the train to load in correctly. The cab seems to load but I have no control or no outside. I have everything that you’ve put in requirements
I’m sorry to hear that Jack. It could be that some of the gepopdx files may be missing or corrupted, try installing the files again or checking the files to see if they are there.
all good now thank you, great route to drive. Only thing that i would say may need changing is just the addition of some timing points in the actual route itinerary (F1) as then it would be easier to keep on schedule. in real life AZUMAs tend to run a few minutes early due to timetable being based on a class 91. other than that though, i thoroughly enjoyed it and would like to see it in reverse!
