Morning Mancunian (1987) – 1H04 06:50 London Euston – Manchester Piccadilly
13th September 2023Start up 87033 from cold having been stabled at Euston middle sidings over night to take the first express of the morning out of Euston. The stock move from Stonebridge Park for your coaches is running late but when they arrive, you can couple up and hopefully make the 06:50 departure. Euston is still busy with tonight’s sleeper and mail trains while the first morning commuters head in to the capital. You oversee this train as far as Watford Junction.
I have decided to use 4 car Class 303s in GMPTE livery as substitutes for the 310s that were used for the commuter services at this time.

An excellent scenario thank you
Very nice scenario, I certainly would have carried on up north 😉
Thanks! Might make a part 2 on wcml south later
Lovely scenario, thanks’! Especially like all the old rolling stock.
Glad you enjoyed it
you don’t seem to have enough time to set the 87 up and get to the first timing point causing the scenario to be uncomplete but it looks to be a good run thanks
As soon as your panto is raised you should be good to go, no need to wait for brake release. I found the brakes released as soon as I got going.
I noticed it was a bit too tight, but I think you should be able to leave euston on time anyways.
