Introduction

Part of our 'short hops' range of scenarios that take 30 minutes or less, this is a scenario for the Liverpool to Manchester route available on Steam. 

The scenario has been successfully completed on several occasions during testing and should work for you providing Train Simulator behaves and you follow all instructions and stick to the speed limits. We do not save any scenarios during testing and therefore cannot be responsible for the scenario not working correctly on re-loading should you attempt this.

Installation

If you have downloaded this pack and are already reading this, there is a good chance you have already installed the scenarios because you have already unpackaged the .rar format and  revealed the .rwp. If you are still struggling, the included .rwp can be installed using the Package Manager which can be found by using "Utilities.exe" which is located in your Steam\steamapps\common\railworks directory. Alternatively, archiving programs such as WinRar or 7-Zip can open the .rwp file and the scenarios can manually be placed in your Train Simulator installation. Please note that if you are uncomfortable with moving these files manually, I take no responsibility for any damage you may cause to your install if the process is not done 
correctly.

Official installation instructions can also be found via the user manuals, located in your install at Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Manuals

Once installed, the scenario should show up on the Standard section of the scenarios menu for the Liverpool to Manchester route as [DPS] 5Z42 - 0735 Glazebrook to Manchester Oxford Road.


Scenario description

This morning you are in charge of a Northern Rail service from Glazebrook to Manchester Oxford Road using a 2-car Class 150 /2 DMU. Because of the inbound service to Warrington Central suffering delays, control decided to terminate the service at Glazebrook and restart the eastbound service from there.


Scenario briefing

Starting at Glazebrook, first release the doors to allow passengers to board before awaiting your scheduled departure time of around 07:35. You will then stop at all stations en-route to Manchester Oxford Road.


Notes

Some people may find the timetable tight initially, but it is achievable. If you find it a struggle, on some of the stations with larger platforms, try stopping midway down the platform adjacent to station buildings/shelters as would be done in real life.
