[MJT] 1Y03 04:40 Newcastle – London Kings Cross
20th April 2025This morning you form 1Y03, working the 04:40 LNER Azuma service from Newcastle to London King’s Cross in a 2-part scenario. Normally a relatively quiet service, things are a bit different this morning. An issue with the onboard safety systems on last night’s diverted 1M11 Caledonian Sleeper from Glasgow means it has been forced to terminate at Newcastle, leaving dozens stranded on the platform for the past 3 hours or so. As a result, passengers have been moved onto this service which will mostly provide relief. You begin at Heaton TMD on a cold start as 5Y03 before making your way into the station.
Date: 6th April 2025
Difficulty & Duration: 270 mins (225 mins with ASYNC keys)| Hard
Traction: 801208
Route(s): ATS ECML Full Merge (Part 1); ATS Kings Cross – Kings Lynn (+ CBG & PBO) (Part 2)
INSTALLATION
1) Extract and open up the provided .zip file, where you will find 2 separate folders for Part 1 and Part 2 of the scenario.
2) Within these separate folders, navigate to the individual ‘Content’ folders. Drag each ‘Content’ folder into your Railworks directory folder.
3) Enjoy!
NOTE – The player will be sat at Newcastle and York for just over 1 hour combined, so I highly recommend Async keys to save up to 45 minutes. You will also need to TAB 2 signals – one at Heaton Depot (Part 1) and one at Peterborough (Part 2), obeying all other signals.

Very nice scenarios, nice to have long runs in the AZUMA! Thanks for making 🙂
Great scenario as always , thanks!
why is this in 2 parts? The ECML merge does the whole route right?
Apologies but yeah it does you’re quite right. However, my current system is a fairly old gaming laptop (8GB RAM, HDD instead of SSD) and likely wouldn’t be able to handle anything more than what was in Part 1! (Hence two parts lol)
An upgrade is long overdue though, and I’m hoping to get a proper up-to-date PC sorted before the end of this year.
A thoroughly enjoyable drive, Thank you.
