Train Sim World 3 Gn/ge Joint Line: Doncaster-peterborough Via Lincoln

Hello all, TrainGeek08 here, I'm back with another suggestion today, the former Great Northern/Great Eastern Joint Line between Doncaster and Peterborough via Lincoln Central, which acts as a diversionary route when the ECML is closed between Doncaster and Peterborough, trains will be diverted along there (more on the diverts later), I feel this would be a good route for Skyhook to make as well, judging how well they did MML and how well they are doing at fixing the route too, so this would be a great next UK passenger route for Skyhook Games to work on

Stock included in base route:



The British Rail Class 153 'Sprinter' DMU



And the British Rail Class 156 'Super Sprinter' DMU in EMT livery


Training (In Training Center):
Class 153 Introduction
Class 156 Introduction

Scenarios:
Lincoln Hop: (Difficulty - 2)
Drive this EMT 156 from Peterborough to Lincoln where there is a rabbit exhibition in the city

Single-Car Madness: (Difficulty - 4)
Doncaster Rovers are facing off against Peterborough United in Peterborough, drive this football fan rammed 153 to Peterborough and don't be late for the shuttle bus to leave (you recognize that don't you)

Double Sprinter: (Difficulty - 2)
Drive this EMT 153/156 combo from Sleaford to Doncaster taking over from an ill driver who needs time off to recover

Sprinter in the Snow: (Difficulty - 3)
Drive this EMT 156 from Peterborough to Doncaster during a snowstorm, which is making visibility a bit poor so drive carefully if you can

Timetable:
2015 Working Timetable (to enable diverts to happen)

Potential DLC, Layers & Stations coming up on Page 2...

 

Bring it on and for the 153 156 EMT these will combine with Class 158 if one has this route and MML.

Potential DLC:



The British Rail Class 67 'Skip' diesel locomotive in DB red livery (not the Royal livery shown) dragging the British Rail Class 91 'Electra' electric locomotive with it's Mk4 rake + Mk4 DVT in East Coast livery (not in the LNER/VTEC livery shown) for ECML diverts

Training (In Training Center):
Class 67 Introduction
Coupling to a dead set

Scenarios:
Southbound Drag: (Difficulty - 2)
Drive this 67 hauling the latest electric service courtesy of East Coast from Doncaster to Peterborough, no delays are expected so enjoy the rare occurrance

Northbound Drag: (Difficulty - 3)
Drive this 67 hauling the next northbound service from Peterborough to Doncaster while trying to battle the elements, there is a storm imminent so keep your wits on you and drive with care

Need a Thunderbird? (Difficulty - 3)
A 67 has failed hauling a ECML divert at Gainsborough Lea Road, the driver has managed to limp it to Lincoln Central, drive this spare 67 from Doncaster West Yard to Lincoln Central, couple to the front of it, then drag the failed 67 and the unfortunate Mk4 set to Peterborough where the service will be cancelled as a result of the failure

Timetable:
As said on Page 1, this would be incorporated into the base TT as it would simulate the actual diverts that happened that year when the ECML was shut for engineering works along the section of line between Doncaster and Peterborough



Layers:



The British Rail Class 43 'HST' (GWE variant) diesel locomotive in East Coast livery for HST diverts along the line



The British Rail Class 66 'Shed' diesel locomotive in EWS/DB livery (ECW, GWE, SEHS, RHTT) for freight workings on the line, containers, steel, aggregates, anything really



And their own British Rail Class 158 'Super Sprinter' from Midland Mainline for layering onto the 153/156's services

Yep, it was mentioned on Page 2, for substitution purposes

 

Great suggestion mate, it's a lovely route which will bring the lovely fields of Lincolnshire to the game. The last time I traversed the route was during the this period of diversions though I do live a short bike ride or drive away from the line so still know parts of it rather well.
The 67s are lovely locos and certainly different from the 91s and HSTs or sprinters in this route.

 

Aye, thanks mate, I would love this one in game, would be nice for this area to be represented and this route does the trick I feel, the 67s are great locos and they would drag the 91s over non-electrified routes
