    Having just purchased Midland Mainline Sheffield - Derby (direct from Just Trains, not through Steam), I am interested in the Barrow Hill extension. If anyone has already bought this, can you please let me know if is just the Roundhouse and visitor centre or whether the line to Tapton Junction and Chesterfield is included as well.

    Tapton Junction is on the list of things to look out for but I am unclear as to whether this is because it is in the original DLC or whether you can drive the route to and from Barrow Hill.

    Thanks. I know but it doesn't specify whether the whole section between there and Barrow Hill is driveable. It makes sense that it is but I never like to assume.

    It's cheap enough so I think I'll go ahead anyway.

    I'd suggest contacting JT as they will quickly let you know. They're good that way

    One of the scenarios:
    [BH] Roundhouse Shuttles
    East Midlands Trains 156405 has been chosen to work some special shuttle runs between Chesterfield and Barrow Hill for Model Rail Live.
    You will work a round trip from Barrow Hill to Chesterfield and back.
    Another
    [BH] 0V84 Doncaster Works Wabtec – Laira T&RSMD
    Take control of a pair of GWR Power Cars between Barrow Hill North Junction and Derby.

    The Demonstration line at BH is modelled with several scenarios for that.

    I have bought the route. JT have added a great amount of detail. Fabulous extension to MML well recommended and a brilliant price.
