This afternoon you join 1Z55 with Class 805 Evero units 001 and 010 on a rather unique working. As part of diversion preparations ready for major engineering works on the West Coast Main Line near Penrith in January 2026, Avanti West Coast are carrying out a test run off the beaten track along the historic Settle & Carlisle with these bi-modes. You are booked as far as Carlisle where a colleague will take over for the descent back to Oxley.

 

Setting: 21st August 2025

Difficulty & Duration: 115 mins | Medium

Traction: 805001 + 805010

Route: DTG Settle to Carlisle

 

Installation –

1) Extract and open the provided .zip file, where you will find a ‘Content’ folder and a supplementary ReadMe file.

2) Copy over the ‘Content’ folder into your Railworks directory folder.

3) Done. Enjoy!

 

Notes –

+ This scenario features a rolling start when you load up. Be ready!

+ ASYNC keys are advised at Appleby, where there is up to a 30 minute pause.

+ We unfortunately don’t have a 66710 reskin in her new livery in the game, so I’ve had to stick with its old one instead. I shall update this upon the release of the upcoming AP Class 66 EP Volume 2 (Special Liveries).
