This route runs from Swalwell Junction on the Tyne Valley line to Berwick upon Tweed on the East Coast Main Line (ECML). Local trains between Swalwell, Newcastle, Morpeth, Chathill and Crag Mill Loop have been modelled, plus main line passenger and freight services between Newcastle and Berwick, displaying most stopping patterns on the route. Each run has passing trains in more or less the correct places.
The route is set in the recent past, in mid-summer, though the timetable used is the current one (Dec 07 –May 08).

Version 1.2 introduces some new bus objects and some revised trees and embankments. If you’re updating from an earlier version, I advise you to remove it before installing this latest release.
