WCML Over Shap Scenario Pack 1 (1994 – 2004) V2

Introduction:

The West Coast Mainline (WCML) is the most important railway in the UK, carrying high speed passenger services and the majority of the network’s freight. The WCML through Shap allows freight and passenger trains to travel through the Cumbrian countryside to reach Carlisle and across the border to Scotland.

 

This pack contains eight highly detailed and immersive scenarios set between 1994 and 2004 during the privitisation of British Railways into private operators, covering the route from Preston in the south to Carlisle and Drumfries in the north allowing for more than eight hours of drivetime!

 

Scenarios Included:

1A32 0640 Carlisle to Euston

Start the journey of a southbound Pendolino service from Carlisle to Preston as the sun rises over Cumbria. Traction: Class 390. Year: 2004.

 

1H05 1241 Heysham Harbour to Stockport

After passengers have alighted an inbound ferry, drive your commuter train off the Heysham branch to Preston with a Class 142+150 consist. Year: 1996.

 

1O16 1230 Glasgow to Poole

Southbound Intercity CrossCountry service from Carlisle to Preston. The new Voyager fleet have recently entered service, so there’s limited time left for the locomotive-hauled stock. Traction: Class 86. Year: 2002.

 

1S58 1700 Liverpool Lime St to Edinburgh
