Route Bristol To Cardiff Dlc

To whom is may concern

I would think that remaking the Bristol Temple Meads to Cardiff Central route from Train sim classic is a highly possible as all of the train's that run are already in the game.
It could be set it in modern times as that would allow the G.W.R 802 to run in both modes on this route as well as having both Depots which are St Phillip's Marsh Depot (red) Right next to Bristol Temple Meads (blue) for the Local services.


And the Hitachi stoke Gifford Depot (Yellow) just outside Bristol Parkway (White) for the G.W.R 802's.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The route can have the following train's:

Class 802 / 800 (G.W.R)


Class 220 (X.C) Between Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway only.


Class 166 / 165 (G.W.R)


Class 66 (DB/Freightliner/Colas Rail Freight)

class 70 (Freightliner/Colas Rail Freight)


Class 158 (Great Western)


Class A3 Flying Scotsman (Rail tours)


Class 47 (Rail tours)


Class 150 (T.F.W) between Seven Tunnel Junction and Cardiff Central only


Class 387 [On the left] (G.W.R) Between Bristol Parkway and Cardiff Central only.


Class 43 Castle Sets (G.W.R/ Farewell pack livery's)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
802 and 800 Switch to electric mode at Patchway,
This would let us use both modes as the service can start at Temple Meads with the switch to electric at Patchway or Bristol Parkway where they can start in electric mode.



Thank you for reading and sorry for my poor spelling and grammar, I wish you a wonderful day.

 

I’m all for routes featuring the 800 series, one of the reasons I play the Riviera line a lot.
Having Bristol temple meads in the game would be a good opportunity for another Great Western route from Reading to connect up.

 

Good idea

 

Problem is that the connecter would have to be in the same time as both routes, which would mean the Cardiff route would have to be set in 2017.

 

Not necessarily, as on the WCML you can route hop on to 80’s and modern era routes. Also there’s isn’t much difference between 2017 and 2025 Reading station from what I could see on google.
