[DPS] The Buffer Puffer 11.0 Part 8

Difficulty: Medium
Length: 55 Minutes Approx
Start Time: 21:13

Warning

As this is a low priority working, the scenario is fairly slow going and you are unlikely to travel long distances in a hurry. If you prefer a quicker run or dislike the stop/start nature of this type of service, this scenario is probably not for you.

Description

This evening you are in charge of the final leg of the Buffer Puffer 11.0 railtour using a pair of DRS Class 37 locomotives and mk1 coaching stock. You will drive the section from Rugby to Stafford, calling at Tamworth.

Briefing

Starting at Rugby, you are currently awaiting your northbound path. Once given a clear signal, proceed Tamworth and then on to Stafford where another driver will take the train onwards to Crewe. As it is now getting late, traffic is winding down and no delays are expected, however, please adhere to the maximum speed of your service which is 75mph. Also take care when approaching any red signals to avoid a TPWS emergency brake activation, it's dark out there and it can be hard to judge!

Notes

I have tried to stay faithful to the timings on this leg of the original tour that ran on 25th January 2014. You will therefore find yourself waiting time at stations along your route. Although 37405 did run on this particular railtour, 37425 has had to substitute for 37610. The timings for the day can be found at http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/10s/140125pt.htm

The 'Riviera Line in the Fifties' was chosen for the chocolate and cream coaching stock. Although steam heated, they were specifically chosen because the route was part of the TS2016 package and is likely to be owned by more users than any individual DLC that has similar coaches.
