    Hey fellas,
    with NTP being part of the preserved collection, I gave it anothertry and I really started enjoying this route. I had some drives with the 101 and it's real fun!
    I tried to do the service Manchester - Leeds in Journey mode, departing at 13:09 at Manchester. It's snowing. I made it to the next stop at miles patting, but now I'm not able to get my 101 moving again uphill. There's a gradient 0,8 to 1,2, and whatever I tried I won't get it moving. I tried to shift up early or use the brakes, but I just can't get my train moving.
    Do you have any hints for me?!
    Not sure if this was the same back in TSW2020 or is a result of the new adhesion physics.
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you shift back to first gear?

    I assume the 101 doesn't have a sander?

    At Miles Platting stop i have a gradient of 1.2% and can accelerate the Class 101 in first gear, notch 1 until 2-3 mph.
    Then notch 2, slowly speed up until you can shift into second gear. It's tricky but i like it.
    At low speed you have no chance with notch 3 or 4. :)
