IMPORTANT: This session and the underlying route utilise assets from the Settle and Carlisle DLC pack. Other dependencies can be downloaded from the DLS.

This is a trainspotter session for the Dearnby and District v2.2 Revised (bus+steel) route by lataxe. It makes extensive use of Enhanced Interlocking Towers and Mission Codes to manage the main line traffic. You are advised not to save / exit / resume the session since unpredictable, and most likely undesirable, behaviour may be the result. It can, however, be paused / un-paused at any time.

The asset folder includes two jpeg files, showing how the various Interlocking Towers are interconnected from a Mission Code perspective. You may find these helpful if trying to work out where the next path, for a particular mission code, might be located.

Once in Driver, the green RM button, in the top right menu bar, provides access to a number of run-time monitors. Most are useful primarily for diagnosing problems such as stuck trains.
- The Missioncode manager Requests tab provides path request information relating to the currently selected driver.
- The Towers manager can be used to check the activation status for any configured path.
- The Quick Hud manager allows you to customise or disable the custom HUD.

The session is a further development of the earlier 1960s and Trainspotter sessions created by lataxe and neville_hill, for versions 1 and 2 of the Dearnby & District route. It includes additional freight traffic servicing the new iron and steel industries. All major pathing is controlled explicitly via the EITs and driver Mission Codes, with all diamond crossings protected using EIT exclusive sets.

There are AI buses, aeroplanes, boats and plenty of trains to ride along with. These include new shunting activities in and around the Dearne-on-Sea Iron and Steel industries, and some manufacturing industries elsewhere on the route. Hitching a ride on the aircraft departing from Ullsmere and St Bennet airfields offers a good way to familiarise yourself with the route layout. Or why not explore the Dearne-on-Sea area by bus?

Other goods and passenger services will run between portals at scheduled intervals, with the stopping passenger trains running according to their assigned timetables. There are also some passenger routes operating point to point. Just like in the real world, trains may not always keep to their timetables, depending on what signalling hold-ups they might encounter.

Anyone is free to adapt / expand this session provided that any derived session remains freeware.
