The total length of the route is 393 miles. This major artery on the eastern side of Great Britain runs largely parallel to the A1 trunk road. It handles cross-country, commuter and local passenger services as well as passenger traffic running north and south of the England-Scotland border. Heavy tonnages of freight traffic are also carried on the route. The section of the East Coast Main Line covered in this add-on runs between Newcastle and Edinburgh, and this part of the route was constructed by two railway companies: the North British Railway from Edinburgh to Berwick-upon-Tweed and the North Eastern Railway south of that point. orth North Berwick to Dundee Firth of F www.justtrains.net Edinburgh Drem Dunbar Longniddry Newcastle to Edinburgh Prestonpans MusselburghW Waverley Brunstaneallyford Newcraighall Lothian N Berwick-upon-Tweed Holy Island Borders Chathill Scotland Alnmouth England Acklington Widdrington Dumfries Pegswood & Morpeth Galloway Northumbria Cramlington Manors Cumbria Newcastle-upon-Tyne Tyne & to London Wear 2 NEWCASTLE TO EDINBURGH Leith Docks Edinburgh Waverley Brunstane Musselburgh Newcraighall Wallyford Millerhill Prestonpans Cockenzie Power Station Longniddry Drem North Berwick Dunbar Oxwellmains Cement Works Torness Nuclear Power Station Berwick-upon-Tweed Chathill Alnmouth for Alnwick Acklington Widdrington Pegswood Morpeth Cramlington Manors Newcastle Central NEWCASTLE TO EDINBURGH 3 The route was electrified using 25kV AC overhead lines in two phases between 1976 and 1991. The first phase, between Kings Cross and Hitchin, was carried out between 1976 and 1978, The second phase began in 1984 to electrify the route all the way up to Edinburgh. Work started in 1985 and the section between Hitchin and Peterborough was completed in 1987. Electrification reached Doncaster and York in 1989, Newcastle by 1990 and Edinburgh in 1991. The InterCity 225 rolling stock was introduced in the late 1980s to work the newly electrified line. Most of the line is speed rated for 125 mph (200 km/h) operation and was the fastest main line in the UK until High Speed 1 opened. These high speeds are possible because much of the route is fairly straight track on the flatter eastern regions of England. 4 NEWCASTLE TO EDINBURGH INSTALLATION You can install this add-on as often as you like on the same computer system.

This should happen automatically when you log in to your Steam account, but please ensure that Automatic Updates are enabled if you have previously switched them off. This Newcastle to Edinburgh route makes use of advanced features provided by TS2015 so the latest version of the simulator must be installed for the route to function correctly. Required assets It is necessary to have the European Loco & Asset Pack installed in Train Simulator 2015 for this route to display correctly. This pack may already be included in other products you have purchased from Dovetail Games via Steam. If you do not already have this Asset Pack installed, it is available to purchase from Dovetail Games via the Steam website (www.steampowered.com). As well as enabling the Newcastle to Edinburgh route to run successfully, this Asset Pack will give you a wealth of assets and stock for your own future use. Train Simulator 2015 display settings The display settings in Train Simulator 2015 must be adjusted correctly for the route to be displayed properly. To check the settings, go to the Main Menu, click on the Settings button and then click on the Graphics button. Ensure the Master Detail Level slider is set to High or higher. Press the Save button and return to the Main Menu. Depending on your computer’s specification, you may wish to increase or decrease the various graphical detail options to get the best performance. NEWCASTLE TO EDINBURGH 7 Scenery quality Various effects and techniques have been used in Newcastle to Edinburgh to enhance the realism of the network, such as Tunnel Occlusion Volume which prevents it from raining or snowing inside station buildings, under bridges and so on. Tracks which are underneath roofing have also been modelled so that they are not covered with snow during the winter season, thus adding to the authentic look of the route. Due to the high level of detail provided throughout Newcastle to Edinburgh, it is best to run the route at the highest settings possible. The Scenery Quality slider should ideally be set as far to the right as possible, as should the slider for Scenery Density. The route will still run at lower settings, of course, but some of the assets may not be displayed as intended. 8 NEWCASTLE TO EDINBURGH QUICK DRIVE This route is equipped for use with the Quick Drive option in Train Simulator 2015.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • The Rail User Express. We Continue with the Usual Roundup of News
    June 2019 Welcome to the Rail User Express. RUX is published around the middle of each month. It may be forwarded, or items reproduced in another newsletter (quoting sources). Anyone may request RUX as an email attachment, or opt to be notified when it is posted on the Railfuture (Rf) website. There is no charge for either service. Following GDPR, Railfuture Membership now maintains both lists. Please advise if you no longer wish to receive the newsletter or link, or if you know of anyone who would like to be added. For further details of any of the stories mentioned, please consult the relevant website, or ask the editor for the source material. Whisper it quietly, but the introduction of the May 2019 timetable seems to have gone quite well. There are still some anomalies touched on below, but the deafening silence from the media tells its own story. The few cancellations due to crew shortage are likely the result of intensive training programmes, as drivers convert to new stock coming into service. Well done! Roger Smith We continue with the usual roundup of news items from groups around the UK. Please keep your contributions coming: they are all gratefully received. Friends of the Far North Line The last few weeks have seen a very variable service on the Far North Line. Driver shortage is still an issue, but ScotRail is recruiting and intends to stop relying on Rest Day Working for staffing the normal rosters, so things should improve. It also seems difficult to retain catering staff; there have been many occasions when passengers have boarded a train for a four-hour journey only to discover there's no trolley service.

Yet the railways were crucial in maintaining the war effort and wartime economy, transporting not only weaponry and troops, but food items for both the domestic population and the forces; mail travelling to and from the front lines, and essential commodities such as coal for the nation’s navy.

  • Haddington | Transport
    Haddington | Transport Wendy Lund What publicly run transport services were there available in the parish and how well was the community served by these services? In 1945, Haddington’s population of 4,000 was served by its own railway station and numerous bus services. By 2000 (population 10,000) public transport is reduced to the bus service only, and for those without a car, must provide the link with rail, air sea services. Rail services In 1945 a single track branch-line between Longniddry and Haddington of 4.8 miles, ended at Haddington station - half a mile to the west of the town centre. The single journey to Edinburgh cost 2 shillings (10p), and took about 50 minutes via the mainline connection at Longniddry. Trains ran mainly at peak times morning and evening. The use of this line decreased post war due to the decline in the overall economy; people could not afford the fares, let alone a car in order to reach the station, and so there was an unequal competition with cheaper, more frequent bus services travelling through the centre of the town. The state of the rail service declined; there was poor rolling stock, and in the 1948 flood the end of the track was damaged and never repaired. Although the nationalised British Railways (later known as British Rail) tried to boost rail use by advertising and offering cheaper fares and excursions, the station closed for passenger traffic on 3rd December 1949. The Integrated Transport Act (1947) failed to set up an ‘integrated’ transport scheme for Haddington, and after the branch line closed for passengers there was no bus service between Haddington and Longniddry , and therefore no easy way of reaching the main line between Edinburgh and Dunbar.
