=======================================================================================================

Let’s go back in time before Pendos and voyagers (Yey!)

its 2002, it’s the last year of class 86/87 hauled stock on the west coast, it’s the last year for the marvellous Class 101’s on the Marple branch.
Manchester Piccadilly is awash with strange livery’s, from TPE, Centro, Mersey rail and of course GMPTE orange and of course everyone’s favourite Virgin, and a few surprise liverys as well!

This timetable was de-cooked from the Dovetail original (many thanks trainsimcz and Dovtail for that!)

My goal was to give Piccadilly the “buzz” of a busy station that it is, and I think I’ve succeeded?

Many thanks for the Dovetail community for the various livery’s I’ve used, I will try and track down everyone and credit you in the next release.

This is a BETA version, still a few things to iron out (not least the Stations directory, still can’t get that to work)

I added the 87 shunts just for interest as well as the short drive on the 101’s, the test train will not power the rear 31, so it’s quite a slog dragging a dead 31 up to Glossop, but good thrash!

As I haven’t purchased the Mk2 / 86 Pack (yet) all loco hauled stock is Mk3s, I will rectify this when I get the DLC.
Notes:
When Shunting in the Ashburys loco, you have to ask signaller’s permission to pass the ground position light at Ashburys sidings.

When departing from the Loop in Manchester Loop towards Piccadilly you have to ask signaller’s permission to pass the ground position light at the end of the loop

Coupling the 87 in Piccadilly can be quite “violent”, you have been warned!

I know some of the AI Reporting ID’s are the wrong way round, something else on my list to fix.

Loco hauled stock doesn’t swap the Tail lamp (or driver to the front cab) position to the rear of the departing service, I don’t know why, not a high priority.

As the timetable is Based on an actual timetable, sometimes there is quite a bit of AI waiting on the approach.

The 158 in First group colours on the Llandudno service is replicating the path of a 175.

Sometimes the 87s revert to older intercity livery’s in the game, still working on that!

I hope you enjoy it.
Its taken me about 4 months to get this far!
