Good Afternoon, Paul,
Welcome back - Hope you're keeping well
You have posted in an Open Rails Forum and think you may get more relevant information in either the RW/TS2016-TS2020 General or Train Sim World Forums.

However, London Kings Cross to Edinburgh is about 400 miles. As far as I am aware, most routes from that supplier are much shorter.
Checking with Google, it appears that to travel that distance requires 4 separate routes to be installed.

I DO stand to be corrected, though!

Cheers,
Ged

Paul got this from AI on Internet:

"For Microsoft Train Simulator (MSTS), the premier route covering Kings Cross to Edinburgh is the East Coast Main Line (ECML), which covers the full 393-mile route, featuring iconic stops like York, Newcastle, and Berwick-upon-Tweed. Various community-created ECML versions exist for MSTS, and it is also featured in modern simulators like Trainz 2019 and Train Sim World"

Good afternoon Ged, happy Easter to you and your Family.

I thought the Logo, circle with a cross with the Initials R R was Rail Routes, but was obviously wrong.

I have definitely seen this route somewhere.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Geary, many thanks for your reply.

Can you please, tell me a Link, where I can obtain/Purchase this please?

Many thanks

Paul.

Hi Geary,
I'm afraid that you cannot believe everything AI tells you!
The East Coast Main line series only covers Kings Cross to York (parts 1 and 2). The other two parts don't go any further North.
As far as I am aware, there are no routes for MSTS which follow the East Coast mainline between York and Newcastle or onwards to Edinburgh.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi everybody. I already have Kings Cross to York (parts 1 and 2).

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,

I thought the Logo, circle with a cross with the Initials R R was Rail Routes ....

Where did you see that logo? It's not one I recognise.
If you can find the page again, please post its link.

Cheers,

Can not argue per say, don't have any of them myself. I was searching to see what I could find. However there are activities stating they cover King Cross to Edinburgh listing the route as East Coast Main Line (ECML) which I can't find, so believe it was payware and no longer available

Can you please, tell me a Link, where I can obtain/Purchase this please?

Paul - I never found a route that's available. Might try looking for sites that deal with Trainz 2019 and Train Sim World if interested.

Hi Geary,
No, mate there was NEVER an MSTS route which covered that distance. It wouldn't even be possible to create such a route for MSTS!

Are you sure you haven't seen a website advertising a scenario for that route? I have seen that one for Dovetail Games Train Simulator. Even so, I believe it requires several individual routes to be merged to run it. It was offered by a company called Alan Thomson Simulation -

This scenario simulates the 1S28 18:00 LNER departure from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh in 2018. The stops enroute are York, Darlington, Newcastle, Berwick and Edinburgh.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged, they are in the Trainsim.com forums.

Hi Paul,
OK, mate, but which one/s Can you please link to them?

Ged
EDIT : Don't worry, mate, I found it in your "Unusual Request Please?" thread of August 2025, in the RW/TS2015-TS2020 General Forum

there was NEVER an MSTS route which covered that distance.

I quite understand, and am sure of that. It's possible they were done in sections over multiple routes? Regardless can't locate a route or routes for that.
