Description
It's a sunny summer Saturday - perfect weather for the annual Dawlish Airshow. To cater for the crowds of spectators, First Great Western runs additional limited-stop shuttle trains between Newton Abbot and Exeter St. Davids. Today, you will be driving the last return service this 4 car Class 143 'Pacer' unit is due to form before it is returned to Exeter TMD. Relaxed running, duration ~ 65 minutes

Requirements
• Riviera Line

I hope you enjoy this scenario!

Note: there is infrequently an issue with the danger signal at Newton Abbot. If you have to pass it at danger (without signaller permission) you shouldn't be penalised. You may find that with Ctrl+Tab only the white markers alight, this is sufficient permission to pass the signal.

(Jan - 2023). Scenario runs OK but timings are ridiculously tight. You have to drive like a loon to get anywhere near them. They should be refreshed and rounded UP to the next full minute to give some leeway. No trouble with signal at Newton Abbot.

Hi Chris, yes this is a known issue which I didn't know how to avoid when I made this scenario. It doesn't happen every time, or to everyone, but sometimes you need to pass the danger signal at Newton Abbot. Usually the secondary signal will light up but I've been told sometimes it doesn't. If I had experienced this during testing I wouldn't have published the scenario!

Sorry but like others couldn't get this to work. Arrived Newton Abbott with no problem, but on reversing cabs signal at end of platform stayed red and denied permission to pass it at danger. Finished here and unsubscribed.

Hi Scouser, thanks for trying it again. I appreciate the honest feedback, I think there was a little bit too much reversing and unusual operations in this one. It's something I've learnt from in the past, the dispatcher is a temperamental beast - while the scenario worked fine for me it seems a few people have had issues. Thanks

Hi Harry, OK, the first time I tried it, it was dark, this time it wasn't. After a train arrived, the light turned yellow, so, good to go. The first time I tried it, the Class 143 did not switch tracks, and when I arrived at Teignmouth I was on the wrong track, so it didn't register. I had saved too much, so I had to start over. This time the red light signal at Newton Abbot, I got 2 white lights, so off I went. I was still on the wrong track, but switched over fairly quickly. I completed the scenario OK, but, if I'm honest, i did not enjoy it.

Hi Harry, OK, I'm going to subscribe again, but if I get the red light at the end of Exeter platform, I will unsubscribe and delete.

Hi hellewell. Thanks for you kind comment, I have amended the description with your tip!

Nice Run, Tight timetable with a Pacer though... On the return from Newton Abbott I used Ctrl + Tab. The signal at the end of the platform remained Red but the two white feathers lit up to continue onwards. This tip might help some players complete your scenario. Thanks, Neil.
