[MJT] 1Y14 06:36 Birmingham New Street – London Euston

22nd August 2024 5 By mattyjt02

In this scenario, you lead the 06:36 London Northwestern Railway service from Birmingham New Street to Euston on an otherwise lovely mid-August morning. For the first half of this journey, you are formed of 4 coaches as far as Northampton, before joining with another Class 350 set as 8 for the remainder of the trip up to London Euston. Arriving amidst the end of rush hour, expect things to get busy heading into the capital this morning.

 

Setting: August 2024

Total Duration: 135 mins (2h 15m)

Track Covered: Birmingham New Street – London Euston via Northampton

Traction: 350375 (+ 350232)

 

Originally planned to be 1 whole scenario, I decided to package it into 2 parts with a pause at Northampton. This was simply due to limitations with the amount of AI/consists that the WCML South route can handle before it dumps (the total for this entire run being well over 70!). I have also kept the yards around Wembley/Willesden devoid of rolling stock for the same reason.

 

Important Things to know:

  • Please don’t Tab any signals throughout this journey. An essential requirement, the AP Signal EP has been used several times throughout this scenario, and all signals should be functioning as intended.

  • That’s about it….

 

How to Install:

1. Download and extract the provided .zip file, where you will find 2 separate folders corresponding to each part of the scenario (Parts 1 and 2)

2. Within these separate folders, navigate to the individual ‘Content’ folders. Drag each ‘Content’ folder 1-by-1 into your Railworks directory. The scenario should now be installed!

Enjoy!
