This simulation covers the Fen Line between Waterbeach and King's Lynn, the Breckland Line between Ely and Wymondham, and the Ely to Peterborough line as far as Whittlesea.
Ely acts as a major junction station between these lines, with all routes converging just north of the station. Additionally, the Ipswich to Ely line joins the Fen Line just south of Ely.
Timetable
A timetable for spring 2022 has been included, running from 04:00 until 03:59 the next morning (although few services operate overnight). The standard off-peak service frequencies are as follows:
| Ely Services | |||
| Train Operating Company | Origin | Destination | Frequency (tph) |
| Greater Anglia | Peterborough | Ipswich | 0.5 |
| Norwich | Stansted Airport | 1 | |
| East Midlands Railway | Liverpool Lime Street | 1 | |
| CrossCountry | Birmingham New Street | Stansted Airport | 1 |
| Great Northern | London King's Cross | Kings Lynn | 1 |
| Ely | 1 | ||
Some additional services operate in peak hours (particularly to King's Lynn), and plenty of freight services operate to various destinations along the route throughout the day, as it acts as a major through route to Felxistowe and Harwich.
Operational Tips
Suggested platform allocations have been provided for Ely, due to the limited platform space and large number of services passing through or changing direction at this station. While it is not essential to follow this, it is recommended to in order to avoid conflicting movements over the junctions as much as possible.
A large portion of these routes use multiple speed limits - a higher limit for passenger multiple units and a lower limit for loco-hauled freight services. As this is not possible to replicate in ROS, only the higher speed limit has been included. As such, freight services often end up running early. Be careful not to route them ahead of passenger services which may get stuck behind them later on. Don't be afraid to use the passing loops to let a freight train wait for its correct schedule again!
Several level crossings are present along the Breckland Line. These add an additional challenge to the simulation, as trains can't be routed to far ahead in order to not block roads for too long. Try not to make the trains stop at red signals though!
