Revisited: Oxford - London Paddington

I felt so nostalgic while creating this scenario, ancient even as the more seasoned players will recognise this route as "Oxford to Paddington", back when Train Simulator Classic was still called Rail Simulator, in the old age of what 2007 used to be. Who else remembers watching videos on YouTube from Hyperen, showcasing the Class 221 - CrossCountry Super Voyager? (I've added the video here in the Links section).

I wanted to create a scenario that's accessible to more players as this DLC was pretty common before 2013, so it should be available for more players. It also recreates my first scenario's that I created in 2012. Sometimes time catches up with me as I've been playing TS for over 12 years now and it all started with Rail Simulator on a buggy old laptop when I was 12, back in 2009.

The DLC required is not the most expensive, frequently put on sale and is one of the legacy routes you need to own in order to see the progress that has been made throughout the years.

It is also a nice route to start learning to create scenario's as the signalling works well and there are many options to create a scenario. (High Speed / Interregional / Local services and even freight services).

In my opinion, this scenario recreates a lively route with well over 20 AI trains, something that wasn't possible back then as our PC's weren't always equipped with the best graphics cards. The scenario is set in a period where First Great Western was still fully reigning over the GWML, full of HST's and Class 166's.

Anyways, please do enjoy the revisitation of the Great Western Main Line and I can't wait for any feedback down in the comments. Good luck!

Please vote and add this scenario to your favourites, thank you :-)
