Morning Cobbler (1989) – 1A30 07:40 Northampton – Euston
10th July 2023You’re in charge of the morning “cobbler”, which is the loco hauled express between Northampton and Euston. This is supplementing the EMU services during the peaks only now, since NSE introduced the class 321 out of Euston earlier in 1989. These loco hauled services would only last two more years.
You’ll be testing your driving abilities this cold autumn morning hauling 12 mk1 coaches with a tight schedule. Keep the timetable, avoid wheelslip, and make sure to fit all coaches at the platforms. Good luck!
60 minute scenario for the WCML South route. Date: 23rd of October 1989. Weather: Overcast to high cloud. Feedback is much appreciated. Hope you enjoy! 😊

I have tried deleting 1G17 as suggested however at Milton Keynes i get routed into platform 1 rather than platform 2 and then unable to continue.
Noting that DMS had deleted 1G17, I did the same and completed a nice scenario, Thank you.
Thanks a lot
I had an issue with many failures loading this scenario. I traced it to 1G17 being unable to pass a blockage after Wolverton Platform 1 (The consist couldn’t reach its last destination at Portal – Stowe Hill Down). Deleting 1G17 fixed the scenario for me.
A fantastic scenario with much attention to period detail and some really fascinating prototypical train consists. I really enjoyed this and will come back and drive it again. Would love to see more from you on this line and era 😉
Glad you got it working. Did you need to F2 it to load? Anyways, thanks for the kind words!
Not after removing 1G17. It loaded no problems after that 😉
