1V14 1707 Nottingham – Gloucester [ACTurbostar170]

Description

A shortage of Class 170 Turbostars means you are running as a Voyager today. You have just relieved your colleague at Birmingham New Street who has bought 1V14 from Nottingham.

You will take this train forward as the 1830 to Gloucester calling at University, Worcestershire Parkway, Cheltenham Spa and Gloucester. The mercury is rising as a heatwave grips the UK so expect some delays, slow running and cautionary signals as evening peak delays begin to take hold.

Scenario created using timings obtained from RealTime Trains data for Wednesday 20th May 2026.

Additional Comments

Scenario Specific Notes:

This route can have several missing signals that can cause some false reds. Whilst testing didn’t throw up any false reds, there are a couple of locations where false reds may occur.

Kings Norton SY44 – the last signal before Kings Norton (after Pershore Road tunnel) may hold at red. Check that 2O52 has cleared the section before pressing TAB and proceeding.

There is a fix for the missing signals on this route that involves using TS Tools to find the missing signal assets, searching for these in your Railworks > Assets folder, copying and pasting the assets (ensuring they have a ‘last modified’ date around 2018) into the correct folders where they should have been.
