This scenario has also been designed and tested with the AP Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack 2.0 and ChiefJack’s AP Sky Accurate Time of Day patch in-mind. Whilst not essential, having all these installed will provide the most accurate weather and lighting conditions as of the date/time the scenario is set.
Fantastic scenario. Following the stopping service to Welwyn was the highlight, lots of cautious driving, really made for an interesting drive. Similar to others, had to delete consist 9Y09 for the scenario to run freely. Many Thanks. 10/10. Jack.
1st & 2nd time I ran the scenario I derailed before reaching Gaswork Tunnel, so 3rd time I departed Kings X at about 05:56ish and it was great till near W,G’n City I got Game Over Error AI driver 9Y09 06:30 W, G’n City – Sevenoaks has left path. Ran it a 4th time and same happened. So I deleted 9Y09 06:30 train in the editor, ran it 5th time and it was perfect. Excellent scenario, bring on part 2.

Hi Matt
The Scenario crashed with me after Potters bar with a message about 9Yxx WGC train coming off path.
I can confirm 9Y09 off path at WGC with collision error after a 2nd run of this. 1st time no issue.
Thoroughly enjoyable, Thank you.
Thank you again, loved chasing that all stopper in front definitely keeps you on your toes!. Hoping for a part 2 Peterborough to York.
