Leeds 1990 (Northern Trans-Pennine) V1.5....updated

UPDATED

Change Log 27/07:

1. Corrected player services to “call on dependency” for route acquisition prior to departure to starting a service and whilst driving mid route.
2. Corrected all player services to include player objectives at every calling point.
3. Correct all player services routing (deleted by accident in a previous update) at Heaton lodge to Ravensthorpe, the default routing is on to the slow lines, now all routed via the fast in both directions.
4. Added WYPTE livery to a some 142’s (AI and player traffic), these are obviously subbing for 141’s & 144’s
5. Added WYPTE livery to Doncaster 101’s (closest train I could find to class 307/308)

Lastly, a big thanks to all you creators club contributors for the liverys, without which my timetable would not be possible.

This a brand new timetable for the Northern Trans-Pennine route:
It’s based on 1990 timetable, so last full year of Loco trans-Pennine operations (ceased on Jan 1991).
A summary:
It’s 1990, HST’s are mixing with the brand new Class 91s hauling Mk3s, Class 47’s on cross country services mixing with HST’s. 1St gen DMU’s are lingering on, the mainstay of Leeds in this period are the second gen DMUs, the odd 141, many 142’s & 144’s, 150’s covering local services. 156’s were being used on Scarborough / Hull-Man Pic (no airport trains in 1991), as well a rich variety of freight loco’s (including reverse engineered class 31 reskins!)

Notes on route adaptation:

1. Leeds is not electrified in this route time period, but in reality, it was electrified in 1990.
2. No AWS, which would have been active in 1990
3. Mirfield track layout was changed in around 1988 to streamline the fast lines and also create a new platform 3, this is not in the route.
4. Stalybridge track layout is incorrect, so from Man V you are unable to get a path to plt 5 so the stoppers have to wait In Diggle loop (for 10mins, I will shorten this in my next version)
5. Stopping trains from Man V to Wakey W have to end at Deighton due to the portal not working on the slow exit to wakey at Healy Mills
6. Trains Pennie 47 hauled trains were routed via Man Picc in this period, so driving ends at Stalybridge.
7. Bury track isn’t live in the route settings, so I was unable to use electric stock (I was thinking 313), so it’s a 142 instead!
8. I’ve modified 158s to have halogen headlights instead of LED.
9. 158’s are instead of 155/156’s on Scarb/Hull/ York/Blackpool/Halifax services.
10. The timetable is accurate to the 1990-1991 timetable as I could get it, but I haven’t done every ECS movement, as this isn’t possible at Leeds due to portal / routing issues.
11. Stopping positions for AI are very different to the player trains, not found a work-a-round for this (yet)
12. Station Departure boards, work in progress, I can’t get the edited DLL to work, but I will keep At it, so that means many destinations don’t show on the departure screens, yet!
13. The routing departure from Leeds seems to be quite erratic, haven’t had to tweak the routing, yet.
14. Leeds Parcesl/ Mail stock is AI only, I haven’t got round to changing it, work in progress.
15. Long waiting times arriving & departing Leeds are not uncommon!

Change log:
Updated timetable to fix 1E13 pathing errors at Leeds......20/7

Please remember this is only a Beta version, still many things that require updating.

I hope you enjoy my timetable!
