Trivia
- Upon its introduction, this route replaced R009 as a free route.
- This is the only route available on the Class 700 calling at Upper Staploe.
- Prior to V1.9.1, trains spawning on this route at Beechley Sidings towards Leighton City would get stuck in the siding with the signal staying red forever.
- This route being free and Beechley Sidings being a popular spawn point for new players confused many new players.
