OR (MSTS) Settle & Carlisle Line activity: Low Water (complete MANUAL control)

Hardest activity on the route. The Flying Scotsman arrives from London to Settle low on water because shortage of water on previous deposits (due to an uncommon hot weather), and have to keep going with the regular passengers service to Carlisle.
The first water reservoir on the route is a "water through" one, and it's located nearby Garsdale. The hardest part of this activity is reaching that first place without getting 0% water on the boiler. Took me many tries to figure out the strategy (and apply it well) to reach it. In order to do this, I have to make sure to NEVER make the steam dome pressure reach the safety threshold, because doing so, will "drink" a lot water. The "water through" is reached at 39:50.
After this point, the activity suggest to repost more water at Appleby but there's another reposting point closer, in Kirby Stephen West, I take this chance (1:04:15), althought, not reposting here, would have caused no problem at all, since until Langwathby the road goes only way down and you can manage to get speed by gravity and inertia, hence very few fuel is used.
Finishing, I end up using the same amount of water gathered in the "water through" (~27% of the tank), meaning that I could have handled the situation without need of loading another time. Through the whole route, only once is reached the safety pressure threshold.
