Virgin Cross-Country Fleet Manager

Description

Manage a fleet of 33 class 47 and 17 class 86/2 locomotives for a week, achieving the greatest possible productive mileage while ensuring that all trains are covered and that scheduled maintenance is performed correctly. Virgin have taken a lot of stick, often unfairly, for poor performance; see if you can do better with this fleet of aging motive power. As well as Virgin’s own electrics and 24 locos of class 47/8, you have to manage Great Western Trains’ five Class 47s used on the overnight sleeper services, and four 47/7s hired in from Fragonset Railways. A fleet of 50 locos and 14 main locations, as well as out-and-back workings to other places.
