Date: April 2017
Time at start: 0830

Duration: 120 minutes

Cross Country services often find themselves threaded between other operators’ services and as such have a lot of padding in the timetables – this means there are often a lot of adverse signals. On your run today from Birmingham New Street to Cardiff Central, calling at University, Cheltenham Spa, Gloucester, Chepstow and Newport, you’ll encounter a few delays due to the heavy rain showers around. Hopefully the sun will come out as you head along the Severn estuary towards Wales.
Requirements are listed below.
I hope you enjoy the scenario – any feedback is most welcome.

Wow, just wow.
this is a class scenario from start to finish.
chasing yellows, AI and weather pattern, all class. thanks mate
Thanks, really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice scenario, until you get to Newport at least. Wound up stuck at a red signal until well after the arrival time into Cardiff, as far as I can tell it never turns green.
Thanks. Sorry you ran into trouble. I’ve just tested it again now and I get a yellow at Newport just after I arrive (once 2U08 has cleared the section ahead) which then turns to green as normal. The signals on the route can be a bit buggy in places. Did you try TAB-ing it? Do you have all the requirements?
