This video shows you how to make quick drives
Thanks a lot mate. I'll put those in a later update 👍
When do you expect this QD update. I would love this assuming you use AP Stock like in this routes scenarios. It would be easier than having to find scenarios to use every time I want time I want to play.
Quick Drives will be included in the next update, they will be basic with no AI to start with but when I get more time I will add them in. Generally, I'll look to use the 390 with MJW Revamp, AP Class 350, AP Class 378 - then potentially AP Class 66 with FSAs (as most people would have this combination I would have thought) to add some AI Freight.
I have assisted with the next update, as it will also include rectification of the EPS Speeds for Pendolinos. So no more slowing down for Berkhamstead and Leighton Buzzard! Speed boards have been rectified and a couple of minute changes to signalling to accommodate the re-introduction of Watford North Junction.
SlowLineTS where can I download these wagons C70015 GBRf Container Wagon Pack.
I think they have since been discontinued. If you are looking to play 8Z70, I might make a scenario with a KFA from https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c1-train-sim-classic/c87-models/i4530-kfa-binliner-wagon-pack-v10
Thank you very much
That is now available as of V2.2 👍
These wagons are not there

Hi there,
great job, however I have to say, I was a bit disappointed that the open track at Euston wasn't fixed. Unfortunately I don't know the numbers of the switches, but you'll figure them out, when trying to route a train from Line A or B to Pl 1 / 2.
Edit: It's not a welding problem. The two points are marked as Goods Tracks.
I hadn't noticed that. I'll look into it and fix it in the next update!
Thanks
Found and fixed, look out for V1.2
I will, thank you a lot!
Will this route upgrade work with the northampton section from ats.

For me I have found that all the scenarios in V2 now throw up a box of errors at the start as if the track changes have corrupted them. Will go back to V1 until these are fixed.
Yeah, I expected a few problems.
I'm back today and will be continuing work
Could you tell me which scenarios are broken
Should all be fixed in this update!
bit odd, what is this route under? as the normal WCML South includes the default stuff and northampton loop, but none of the mentioned scenarios in the manual or anything?
It appears as a route called "[SLTS] WCML South Updated V2.0" near the top of the routes list.
Hi, I'm thinking of correcting some of the EPS speed limits between Milton Keynes and London Euston, would it be possible to share this with you?
I'd be happy for you to do that, are you on discord?
This is a great update to the route, however I'm unable to find "IFA 4906 Empty" wagon.
It was from a container wagon pack that has been discontinued. If it's not included, the next update will include a version of the scenario using https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c1-train-sim-classic/c87-models/i4530-kfa-binliner-wagon-pack-v10
Many thanks
A very nice upgrade, thanks! Just a little thing that I noticed playing your 2T67 scenario: signal TK9877 at Tring pt4 misses its AWS ramp.
Thank you for reporting that. I'll fix that in the next update.
Thanks!
Another little defect on scenario 0K06 : I am pathed via the Up fast (!) around Wembley North (and therefore have to wait for all the up traffic to pass).
That up fast is the bane of my existence. I'll have a look into it thanks!
lovely upgrade
any chance of takeing a look at 3S01 not sure if it's my install but slightly broken even though I have the correct pack for the 66s did try to replace them with 73s but that didn't work and it doesn't show any track plan on the hud
Hey, first of all amazing work. Love all the effort that you've out into the route. Secondly, one thing that has always bothered me is the fact that the EPS boards are hit and miss and the speeds for Pendolino's are wrong in a few locations.
I do have the route maps for this route, if you'd like me to send them over on Discord I'd be more than happy to do so. Or, send me a friend request and I can give you a hand with whatever you need. (@oli0304)
Oh brilliant. If you have reference material then I can implement those. I sent you a friend request on discord 👍
Could you please provide a link to VP Northern Lines Electric as im unable to find this requirement.

Great upgrade/new route! A few people buried in platform 4 @Apsley, a bit of bumpy track into Euston P8 and a few bits of foilage encroaching in the Hemel area. However , the route looks much better in so many ways.
I am aware of the passengers at Apsley. I will look into the other issues you stated
Thanks!
That should be fixed now :)
It seems to be a lot more stable, wrt FPS, albeit a little less FPS. The added details have really upped the level of realism!
