393-mile (632km) high-speed railway link between London, Peterborough, Doncaster, York, Darlington, Newcastle and Edinburgh. The line is classed as a high-speed railway because most of it meets the speed criteria of 125 mph (201 km/h), and made the ECML the fastest mainline in the UK until the opening of High Speed 1 in 2007. The East Coast Mainline was built by three separate railway companies, each working on their own section, with the intention of linking up to form the through route that became the East Coast Mainline. • The North British Railway (Edinburgh to Berwick-on-Tweed) • The North EaEasternstern Railway (Berwick-on-Tweed to Shaftholme) • The Great Northern Railway (Shaftholme to Kings Cross) In 1923 these three companies were merged and became the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), which went on to become part of British Railways in 1948. © Copyright RailSimulator.com 2013, all rights reserved Release Version 1.0 Page 4 Train Simulator – ECML London - Peterborough Kings Cross Station Kings Cross station opened in 1852 and took its name from the Kings Cross area of London, named after a monument to King George IV, which was eventually demolished in 1845. Today, Kings Cross station is the London hub of the great Northern Railway and the southern terminus of the East Coast Main Line, one of the UK’s major railway networks. Some of its most important long-distance destinations are Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh. It also hosts outer-suburban services to Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire, as well as fast regional services to Cambridge, Kings Lynn and Peterborough. Kings Cross is one of the busiest railway hubs in the UK. © Copyright RailSimulator.com 2013, all rights reserved Release Version 1.0 Page 5 Train Simulator – ECML London - Peterborough Peterborough Station Peterborough station opened in 1850 and is located approximately 76.5 miles (123.1 km) north of Kings Cross. The station is a major interchange, benefiting from serving both the north-south ECML services, as well as East-West long-distance and local services. It was the first station on the ECML to be electrified so consequently has the first mast to be installed as part of the electrification project, which can be found behind platform 1. © Copyright RailSimulator.com 2013, all rights reserved Release Version 1.0 Page 6 Train Simulator – ECML London - Peterborough Line Features The line is mainly four tracks, however there are two twin-track sections; the first is near Welwyn North Station as you cross the Viaduct and pass through two tunnels and the second is between Huntingdon and Peterborough. © Copyright RailSimulator.com 2013, all rights reserved Release Version 1.0 Page 7 Train Simulator – ECML London - Peterborough 1.2 Rolling Stock An East Coast HST (High Speed Train) is included with this route.
