Time: 14:44
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
afternoon you are in charge of another 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 London Bridge to West Croydon.
Briefing
Starting
at London Bridge, you are currently awaiting your path. Once given a
clear signal, proceed to West Croydon where another driver will take
over for the section around Epsom. For the most part, your path has
you behind a West Croydon stopping service so expect many adverse
signals.
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

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.
The
weather setting should have been 'spring' to continue from part one
on WCML Trent Valley. Unfortunately, the appearance of the foliage on
South London Network has meant I have had to change this leg to
summer.
