[JG] 2C73 1100 Cardiff Central [CDF] to Penzance [PNZ]

6th January 2023 1 By JGettkant

Scenario Type: Standard
Route: Just Trains South Western Expressways to Reading
Track Covered: Bristol Temple Meads to Exeter St. Davids
Duration: 90 minutes
Traction: Great Western Railway 802007 (‘IET’, 5 Coaches)
Date: 21/12/2022

Description:

In this scenario you are to take Great Western Railway service 2C73 Cardiff Central to Penzance from Bristol Temple Meads as far as Exeter St. Davids, calling at Nailsea & Backwell, Yatton, Worle, Weston-super-Mare, Highbridge & Burnham, Bridgwater, Taunton and Tiverton Parkway along the way.
In late 2022 GWR has begun to phase out the ‘Castle Class’ HST short sets running primarily between Cardiff and Penzance, replacing them with Class 800 ‘IET’ dual mode train sets. You are at the controls of one of the latter.

Please do not ‘TAB’ any signals!

This is what I call a ‘real time’ scenario. This means all services are running, as far as possible, according to the times documented on https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk, including delays and cancellations. As long as the information was available and applicable I used the appropriate vehicles and vehicle numbers for player and AI trains.
In this particular scenario I replaced a Class 88 with a Class 68 due to the Class 88 not being available for TS Classic.
