Tees Valley Line New Timetable (1989)

This is a new timetable for Tees Valley Line. It’s set in 1989 like the original, but includes new rolling stock from the new Blackpool Branches route.
The passenger services are based off the 1989 British Rail timetable, I’ve matched their timings where possible, but some had to be shifted slightly.
Freight is currently logical, but isn’t built off the 1989 WTT for the area. I did receive a copy of this after finishing my freight, and do plan to implement it for the freight in a future release.

Known Issues:
• Occasionally it seems the pacers/101 can begin a service shut down, even if an AI was just driving it. In this instance you’ll just need to start them up (both very easy to do) if you are unable to move.
• The DMU timetable is EXTREMELY difficult to be on time with. If you do not drive it perfectly, you will be late, and probably late regardless. I’m not sure if this is an issue with the route length, inaccurate speed limites, or the performance of the DMUs is worse than reality. But the 101 and the 142 are just physically incapable of keeping up with the real 1989 Tees Valley Timetable. The AI is unable to keep it up as well, so the scoring does keep that in mind generally.
• 2D29 – had to be shifted several minutes forward, so no longer matches the official timetable.

The required content for the new timetable:

• Tees Valley Line
• Blackpool Branches (Class 142, Class 47)
• Class 20 DLC
• Class 31 DLC
