Description
BEFORE STARTING READ THIS
Driving the Class 73 in electric mode: Off then downwards adding power incrementally (a few seconds each) Serial (Ser) then Parallel (Par) and then finally Weak Field (WF). Do NOT go straight to Weak field!

Gatwick Express History:
1960s: Class 402 2-HALs
1970s: Class 427 4VEG
1980s: Class 73 with Mark 2 carriages (May ’84)
2000s: Class 460 Juniper was introduced.
2010s: Class 442 Wessex trainsets were used.
Currently Class 387s

In this the third scenario, I have created what it was like in 1984, when a non-stop Gatwick Express was headed by an InterCity Class 73 & Mk 2 carriages, before Network Southeast had started.

Do NOT need the Metropolitan Line!

Best if played from under the 'Standard' scenario Tab not Workshop.

Route: London to Brighton
Duration: 33 minutes Difficulty: Medium
Scenario: Standard

Extra DLC:
Class 73 Gatwick Express
BR Class 422 4BIG EMU
BR Blue Diesel Electric 33 Pack (for 416 EMU, 4 CIG EMU, Class 73 & Class 33)
European Loco & Asset Pack

I hope you enjoy it.

Diesel would have been a bit slow - but you ran it in electric mode too. Good! Cheers robmerlo.
