On the 28th of November 1998, Hertfordshire Railtours organised a railtour from London Paddington to Onllwyn Washery. The tour was the first passenger train to be hauled by a class 66.The tour ran from Paddington to Cardiff Central behind 66011, before 66009 joined on the back for the journey to Onllwyn.

 

In this scenario you will be driving 66011 from Bristol Parkway to Cardiff Central. You have 14 coaches behind the loco, so it will be a challenge on the climb out of the Severn Tunnel.
