The Main Line

The North of England Main Line is the primary railway line throughout the North Central Railway. It runs from London Whitehall Place to Aberdeen, Scotland. Currently, there is 16 main line engines. Phillip, Kate, Krissy, Landry and Lisa are the express engines, Dudley, Raven, Donald and Pendolino are the nonstop service engines. Chelsea is on the London-Scotland Limited. Lauryn, Gregory and Claire are the mixed-traffic engines. Adam and Mathew and Chandler are strictly on commuter trains. Ryan, Peter, Grant and Elizabeth are on goods duties although Elizabeth is on heavy freight.

Lise used to run express duties from 1919-1923 and took over the Vintage Express from 1924-1966.

The main goods termini are Edinburgh, Scawby and London. At Edinburgh, one of the mixed-traffic and goods engines hand their goods to another railway. At Scawby, works trains and tools are delivered there. At the goods yards, such as the container depot and the Main Line Freight Yard, they pick up the goods and take them on their long journey.

The passenger engines pick up their passengers from London and take them to either Aberdeen or Edinburgh. Edinburgh serves as a part-time terminal for the NCR. Glasgow can also be served by the NCR, but only on occasion. Coaches will be shunted by the station pilot at either ends of the line. Passenger services don't only serve branch lines but other railways such as the LNER at York and Edinburgh and the LMS at Glasgow Central.
