>Scenario Guide:
You begin this scenario at Leeds having just taken over from your colleague at the controls of LNER’s 1A13 which you will now oversee all the way to London. This service originated from Skipton this morning and is usually booked for a Class 91 and mk4 set, but due to an overnight failure on Neville Hill depot you have the pleasure of the ever popular NL65 set for your journey south. Start off by letting passengers board at Leeds. It is a lovely late summer’s morning, and you have a journey time of just under two and a half hours. Lastly, your maximum permitted speed this morning is 125mph, enjoy the trip. A detailed manual is included in the download with links to all the requirements and further information.

That’s it for this one. I really hope you enjoy the drive. Please do leave feedback, questions, or any issues via the download page on the website or via the ATS Group. Look forward to hearing your comments.
*Please note, due to the nature of the route and amount of AI, this is a very resource heavy scenario and as such static AI around Doncaster and Peterborough has been left for now to aid game performance, this doesn’t detract from the scenario. Lower spec PCs may not be able to run this as intended. Items marked (Recommended) are not essential to the scenario but highly recommended for the player to experience the intended immersion.

Take care, enjoy,

My session in this scenario dumps as soon as i leave Leeds… any ideas as to why??
James, I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with this one. I did put in the description that due to the vast amount of AI and the length and detail of the route that some systems may not be able to run it as intended. It is pushing the game just about as far as it will go when you depart Leeds as you’re alongside several other trains.
All I can suggest is possibly using RW Tools (if you have it) to delete a few of the AI around Leeds and see if that makes any difference. I hope you manage to play it successfully in the end and if I can be of any further assistance, feel free to get in touch.
Kind Regards,
John.
My session in this scenario dumps as soon as i pull out of Leeds… Any ideas on why??
Fancied a Mk4 run so I swapped out the HST, still a really enjoyable run, thank you for sharing with us.
Cactus,
Many thanks for your comment and feedback. 1A13 was (at the time) commonly a mk4 set anyway so still completely realistic. Really glad to hear you enjoyed it. Got a few 91/mk4 runs in the works which I’ll get out soon.
Kind Regards,
John.
Thank you John, I enjoyed every minute of this great scenario. Faultless.
Benelena,
Thank you very much as always for your comment and feedback. Lovely to hear you enjoyed it and didn’t have any issues, plenty more on the way. Thanks again, your feedback is really appreciated.
Kind Regards,
John.
