This simulation, set in the 1950's, features the main line from Bangor to the port of Holyhead, including Menai Bridge and the branches to Amlwch and Caernarfon. Bangor station was situated between two tunnels and was notoriously difficult to operate: storage of stock was a nightmare and much shunting was required. Many of the smaller stations still had goods yard facilities in regular use.
Most of the long-distance passenger traffic (to Euston, Manchester, Birmingham and Crewe) terminated or originated at Holyhead but some trains were to/from Bangor. Regular local passenger services operated from Bangor to Holyhead, Llandudno Jn, Afon Wen/Pwllheli, and Amlwch.
Freight traffic from Holyhead was mainly for livestock imports from Ireland. Menai Bridge was the main centre for local freight to and from Llanberis, Afon Wen, Holyhead, Llangefni, Llanfair and Porth Penrhyn and there was a variety of other freight traffic to be handled.
This simulation involves much shunting and running engines round trains. If you enjoy this sort of work, then this simulation is for you!
