Between 22nd May 2000 and 28th September 2002 Anglia Railways operated ‘London Crosslink’ services between Basingstoke and stations on the Great Eastern Mainline using the North London Line as a means to get between the Hounslow Loop and Stratford. These services were operated using Class 170 Turbostars due to a short section of unelectrified track these services ran on. In this scenario you will drive one of these services over the North London Line section of the journey. You will be starting having just left the Hounslow Loop and are about to join the North London Line at South Acton and are currently on the unelectrified section. You will then take the service through Stratford calling at West Hampstead, Camden Road and Highbury & Islington along the way. You are getting to stop at Camden Road because this based on the Saturday timetable. The evening has some light cloud as the sun will start to set. You can expect to not be held up to much over your journey so you can expect to turn up early at most stop.

One thing to note. I know that the route is too modern for the era this scenario is set in with things like the London Overground Branding and station improvements that happened after the takeover from Silverlink as well as track layout changes between Camden Road and Dalston Kingsland. I did consider the Backdated Trainsim North London Line but I felt that was set too far back as it lacked any OHLE on the North London line which I know was there at the time the scenario was set.

I hope you enjoy this scenario and if you have any feedback or comments please do let me know.
