Huddersfield Line - Upgrade

This is an upgraded version of the Huddersfield Line: Manchester to Leeds route. It aims at improving on the technical aspects of the route, from smoothed-out curves to the signalling and night lighting, as well as providing more track markers for scenario writers.

The infrastructure is depicted as it was around 2018/2019, thus the sharp curve at Miles Platting as well as some of the older-style colour light signals have been retained. The section between Manchester and Stalybridge has not yet been electrified, Ashton Moss North Junction however has already been remodelled.

The original scenery remains largely untouched, however some key changes have been made. Heaton Lodge Junction has been brought much closer to real life. Some scenery on the Manchester end of the line has has been improved as well, most notably around Newton Heath Depot. At the Leeds end, some more distant scenery now covers previously barren hills. Night lighting effects have been completely reworked along the whole length of the route.

The upgrade comes with a few simple Quick Drive options, these however do not include any AI trains.

Only requirement for this upgrade to work is the original 'Huddersfield Line: Manchester to Leeds Route Add-On'.

Changes to the original route provided through Armstrong Powerhouse's Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack 2.0, Track Enhancement Pack, Signal Enhancement Pack and/or Vegetation Enhancement Pack will automatically apply to this upgraded version as well.

Please note that scenarios created for the original version of the route will not work on this upgraded version. This is due to whole sections of track having been redone and track markers altered - the game would not have any way of knowing where trains were placed and where they were supposed to go. Any scenario would have to be rebuilt from scratch if it was to be 'ported' over to this upgraded version of the route.
