JUSTTRAINS - DERBY - NOTTINGHAM - LEICESTER TS2020

THIS VERSION OF THE DERBY-NOTTINGHAM-LEICESTER ROUTE IS FOR TRAIN SIMULATOR USERS WHO DO NOT HAVE JUST TRAINS' MIDLAND MAIN LINE: SHEFFIELD-DERBY ROUTE INSTALLED.

This 40-mile Just Trains route covers the Derby-Nottingham-Leicester section of the Midland Main Line, running between Derby in the north and Leicester in the south. Nottingham is located to the east of the main line and trains need to come off the main line to travel through its impressive station and then come back onto the main line to run south.

The route features numerous custom objects, from humble station furniture to 12 highly detailed and accurately modelled stations. Among the unique structures and buildings along the route is the unique Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station, which has its own section of railway to drive.

29 Standard scenarios are included; some require additional payware add-ons to run correctly and others only require default Train Simulator stock.
