>Scenario Guide:
You begin this scenario having just taken over the controls of 43047 at Leicester. You will drive this through to Sheffield (via Nottingham) this evening running via the Erewash Valley. This run was taken from actual workings on the Bank Holiday weekend, 31st August 2020. You will be calling at Loughborough, East Midlands Parkway, Nottingham, Langley Mill, Alfreton, Chesterfield and Sheffield. Please watch out for some cautionary signals on route as despite it being the bank holiday there are several other trains still running. When you get to Nottingham you are booked to sit for 9 minutes. You will need to change ends, switch the ETS Supply round and set up the other cab, you will have time to do this. No signalling issues have been reported on the route today.
