    The Heart of Wessex Line, also known as the Bristol to Weymouth Line, is a railway line that runs from Bristol Temple Meads to Westbury and Weymouth in England. It shares the Wessex Main Line as far as Westbury and then follows the course of the Reading to Taunton Line as far as Castle Cary.

    If I understand correctly you're suggesting the line I've highlighted in green and the line in blue or have I misunderstood and you mean the pink line? Either way I would be happy if this route was made for the game :)

    It's actually both the blue and pink line included with the green line. So all of those lines highlighted are included

    I suggested something similar earlier in the week, though I would include a longer stretch of the GWML as including a Class 800 for a 10 minute one stop service wouldn't be worthwhile IMO.

    Even better than I thought and more of a reason for me to want it :)
