Description
===========
This is an activity on the Modern England V3 full route.

The Modern England Railway Company have franchised Virgin Trains to run fast passenger services on the route with Pendolino trainsets. Other franchisees are Australian: New South Wales CityRail has supplied suburban electric S-Sets for local services, and Victorian Railways and V/Line are running some local freight and passenger services with B-class and S-class diesel-electric locos. N.S.W. Countrylink have some Endeavour and Explorer diesel railcar sets on standby in case of electricity supply problems.

You are rostered on your usual morning duty to drive the high-speed Pendolino morning service from King's Cross to Manchester.
There is the normal morning traffic to cope with, as well as an earlier Pendolino
service ahead of you. There will be some yellows, even a red or two, to test your patience. You
can have words with the new traffic controller over a cuppa in the staff room when you reach Manchester because he seems to have scheduled some extra services without giving you adequate warning of the changes.
Remember the signal aspects don't restrict your speed but your passengers will be happier with a
steady speed rather than a big rush of speed then a wait at a red.

The rolling stock required for this activity is the same as for "Manchester to King's Cross HST".

Installation:
=============
Before extracting the APK files, check you have the necessary rolling stock - see below.

Extract each APK file to your downloads folder, and either Run the APK from the
Start/Programs/Run.. box or double-click each APK file.
You may be asked if you want to over-write files - my advice is to say "No". Before getting
involved in these activities, do a check with ConBuilder to make sure you have all the
necessary rolling stock - see below.

If you haven't yet installed the TSUnpack fix, which corrects a problem with associating
the APK file type with TSUnpack, download "tsunpack.zip" (4Kb, 21-Aug-01) from Train-sim.com.
