I think that’s it. 

 

So you book on at 01:45 and your shift today will take you to Theale with 6A31. You have 42 Wagons with a total Pay Load of 4200tonnes. Your Max Speed is 60MPH. You will have a train coming in, But he is early. So your be early leaving. Official Departure time is 02:24. Your Engine for tonight is a Class 66551. 

 

Points To Know

When you get to just outside Theale Yard. The signal will display a green, but no route indicator to the left. You must be doing 25MPH BY THIS SIGNAL. 

Also, When shunting at Theale and dropping of the first 22 wagons. There should be a man close by to where the 22nd wagon is. Split the one with the screw coupling and not the buckeye coupling. Also. Try and get as close to the buffers in the siding as you can. WITHOUT HITTING THEM. 

 

Finally. This Part one of your shift. 

Thanks for playing. Hope you enjoy it.
