    Hi
    I would like to suggest this line would be a great addition to tsw 2 because of its stopping service and scenario ideas. It would be the full length of the the riviera line from Exmouth to Paignton. With the class 150 or class 143. This route is 37 miles long and takes about an hour and a fourth minutes from end to end. This is probably one of the best routes in the uk.

    It could be done with the Dartmouth and Kingswear Steam Railway for even more variety of services. This would be well within current distance ability. That way you could have old and new traction types that we so far do not have.

    Oh yes, the Riviera Line is a line that looks different from the usual UK stuff. I'd be interested in this route.

    I've been asking for this route for ages as it's a great scenic route and my local route.

    Let’s lobby DTG to get this route. I just came on here to put my own post on to suggest it again. It’s very special to me and my family as it’s a favourite holiday destination. Also I served at Lympstone Commando many moons ago.

    Been suggested many times - DTG have to take this on board surely? It is an amazing route, complete with 150s and 158s!!!
