GCR22 V5

Version GCR22 V5 of the Great Central Railway, UK.

The route attempts to simulate the Great Central Railway, the Last Main Line in the UK, between Sheffield and London Marylebone.
At present the route starts at Sheffield Victoria and passes through Staveley Central, Heath Junction, Annesley, Nottingham Victoria,
Leicester Central, Rugby Central, Woodford Halse, and diverges at Grendon Underwood Junction. The joint GCR/Metropolitan Railway
proceeds to Aylesbury and further south, whilst the express GCR route proceeds via Ashendon Junction to join the GWR line to
Princess Risborough. Currrently it teminates after Saunderton.

GWR consists can access the GCR either through the route from Banbury at Culworth Junction, the SMJR line from Stratford on Avon
at Woodford Halse, or via Ashendon Junction on the GWR mainline to Oxford.

Between Nottingham and Aylesbury the trackwork has been modified to resemble more closely the situation in BR days rather than the
original trackwork. This should improve the opportunities for movements of consists etc.

The current version of the route operates in TRAINZ22PE, build 129335. The version requires the use of PAYWARE assets, including assets from the PLL Potteries Loop Line (highly recommended).

Please note that the route is still a Work in Progress and much work remains to be achieved with respect to scenery.

I would like to thank all the many content creators whose efforts have been used and especially the S&C and PLL teams.


I do hope that Trainzers will be able to have fun with the route. All comments and criticisms will be appreciated.

I would like to take this opportunity to state that I strongly support N3V and wish the company every success in making improvments and developments.
