Two scenarios for the West Coast Main Line - Over Shap Route.
Description:
You join 6S83 at Preston awaiting the path to depart north. Unfortunately 37030 ran
into issues along the way from Clitheroe and it was decided that 37183 would be tasked to
continue ahead and take the strain due to no suitable locos nearby to assist. That been said
you will be looped along the way to make way for higher priority services to pass you at
Carnforth and Grayrigg where part 1 will end. Part 2 will resume later again from Grayrigg
Loop after higher priority workings have passed you. However you will again soon find
yourself in another loop at Tebay! You will have the climb at the foot of you to Shap so give it
your all! You will then have a stead decent to Carlisle where 37183 can breath a little. Your
maximum speed permitted on this trip is 60mph, enjoy the noise of English Electric traction
working hard!
