The
East Coast Main Line (ECML) is the electrified high-speed
railway link between London and the north-east and further on to
Scotland.
The route forms a key artery on the eastern side of
Britain is broadly paralleled by the A1 trunk road. It links London, the
south-east and East Anglia with Yorkshire, the north-east regions and
Scotland.
Of significant importance to the economic health of a
number of areas of the country, it also handles cross-country, commuter
and local passenger services, and carries heavy tonnages of freight
traffic.
The East Coast Express series represents the ECML on
Train Simulator and Hertford Loop is Part 4 of the this series including
11 stations over 24 miles of track.
You can run Hertford Loop independently from East Coast
Express part 1 as it includes the stretch of track from Kings Cross to
Hitchin. If you have part 1 installed it will automatically join the
route.
New locomotives include the Class 365 and the 313, both
running specifically on the Hertford Loop.
10 new activities feature the whole timetable and run
through the varying seasons of the year.
