    This is a request, if possible, for an extension to the current West Cornwall Local route.

    This would include the additional 11 miles from Truro to Falmouth Docks (also known a the Maritime Line)

    Services from Truro to Falmouth Docks call at: Perranwell, Penryn, Penmere, Falmouth Town and Falmouth Docks. The route passes over viaducts and through tunnels, and is mostly single line (similar to the St. Erth to St. Ives line)

    Set in the same period as the current WCL, services would be run by the same Class 150 already present in the game.

    I think adding this branch line to the existing route would make the route feel complete, and more like a West Cornwall network.

    Obviously everyone has different opinions, but I feel this branch line brings more to the game than the Truro - St. Austell section, I personally would have had the Falmouth branch included at the launch, but I really hope now that SEHS had been extended that this route by Rivet could be extended too.

    Services these days run every 30 minutes, but back in the 1990's I imagine was less frequent (maybe every hour)

    If anyone from Rivet could say whether this additional branch line could be looked into that'd be amazing.

    And also while i'm talking about the WCL, i'd love to see some of the St. Ives to St. Erth services extended to/from Penzance to create a longer run, and in an ideal world even add a HST, but I'd settle for extended Penzance to St. Ives services run by the Class 150. I'd finally like to see a timetable change that included more services that terminate at Truro (ie Penzance - Truro), as there is only one in each direction currently

    So that's my suggestion, extend the WCL route from Truro to Falmouth (11 miles), and add some St. Ives - Penzance services too, along with more services from Penzance that terminate at Truro instead of St Austell

    Thats a good example of a possible extension. The timetable isnt too dense that its making it impossible.

    Rivet could create the class 50 & a route extension to falmouth.
    As loco dlc making the hst valenta. Wcl isnt the most detailed route scenerywise, but its far from bad. I actually enjoy wcl alot.

    There is also plenty of room to extend for freight & china clay or even adding a wagon dlc pack.

    I think I would rather Rivet fixed up what they already half bodged, before contemplating any extension. And IMHO pushing the main line further east would give more playability than 25 minute end to end runs on the Falmouth branch.

    Castle class HST’s not appropriate to the route’s era. We need full on screaming Paxman Valenta 2 + 7’s and 2 + 8’s.

    I think a 50 would go well on this route and seeing them irl on tours they are pretty things

    The Castle sets don't fit the era of WCL.
