13th October 2022Hello, this is one ‘standard’ scenario for the lovely ’Midland Mainline’ route plus ‘Hope Valley’ extension from Just Trains.
Length: Approximately. 110 minutes
>Installation:
To install, simply extract the .zip file using whichever software you have and copy the ‘Content’ folder to your RailWorks install “usually” found here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks
>Scenario Guide:
You begin this scenario at Nottingham where one of your colleagues has just coupled 156411 to the rear of 158864 which you are now ready to work towards the north west as you drive 1R98 the 14:57 from Norwich to Liverpool Lime Street as far as Manchester Piccadilly. You will be making several station calls on route including a reversal at Sheffield meaning you will drive the first half with the 158 and the second half with the 156. No issues have been reported this evening so this should be a smooth run, but on the railway, you can never be too sure! A detailed manual with links to everything you need is included with the download.

How good is this??? Yet another Great [RS] scenario, living in Nottingham myself this was a totally enjoyable run as you can imagine.
Terrific Ai, whole scenario runs as smooth as a whistle, much enjoyment to be had.
Thanks John for sharing this with us all.
Craig, thank you ever so much for your comment and feedback, it really does mean a lot. I’m absolutely delighted you found the run so enjoyable and it all ran smoothly, especially being a local. Thanks again Craig.
Regards,
John.
Very enjoyable scenario,but for me, it ended just before Manchester Piccadilly due to a AI train derailment.
Phillip, I’m very sorry to hear you experienced an AI derailment outside Piccadilly. This would appear, from what people have told me, to be an issue that just affects a few people who have played it, the majority appear to have ran it fine. Can I just check when you downloaded the scenario? I believe the affected AI service was 5H31 from Piccadilly? If so, and you wanted to, I updated the scenario and the download to resolve that issues by removing that piece of AI so it should all work without any issues. I can only offer my apologies as this issue wasn’t apparent during testing. Hope it didn’t detract from the enjoyment for you too much.
Regards,
John.
Thanks John,I have now downloaded the scenario again.
