Cardiff to Kings Cross XPT

Our XPT departing Cardiff.

The grain season has begun so your usual late afternoon XPT roster Cardiff to King's Cross, with a stop at Manchester, may have some delays.

All the usual traffic at this time of day will be running, including many loco-hauled regional V/Line passenger services.

The Australian XPT is not as highly powered as its British parent so you'll have to concentrate to maintain your speed, yet at the same time, adapt your driving style to any yellows. As well, your XPT's power cars have just been fitted with new Valenta engines so need some more time before they're fully run-in.

From Manchester to King's Cross you'll be driving directly into the setting sun - bring your sunnies.

This activity can be downloaded from the web•TrainSim downloads page.
