ive created a custom route map of what im showcasing. This route follows a similar concept to how the Cardiff City Network route is portrayed, with shorter journey times, but more varied destinations LOCOS: BR Class 800 BMU (GWR) - For Express Services Across the Route BR Class 166 DMU (GWR) - For Stopping Commuter Services BR Class 66 (EWS) - For Freight Around the Bristol Area LENGTH OF THE ROUTE: Weston-super-Mare to Bristol TM - 18 Miles Bristol TM to Severn Beach - 8 miles Bristol TM to Bath Spa - 12 miles Bristol TM to Bristol Parkway - 5 miles Bristol Parkway to St Andrews Road Via Hallen Marsh (freight only branch) - 7 Miles TOTAL MILEAGE: 50 MILES No. Of Stations: 25 KEY LOCATIONS: Bristol Temple Meads Station The Iconic Bristol Temple Meads station, with its impressive architecture Weston Super Mare Station Home of the Seaside town St Andrews Road this area is a hub for freight on the route, and is an important dockyard for Bristol Hallen Marsh Jn the middle of a 7 mile freight only branch, connecting the filton triangle with St Andrews Road freight terminal. The Filton Triangle an important and key piece of railway, connecting Bristol to Bristol Parkway, Birmingham and the North, and Trains to Cardiff and beyond.
Just as a question, is it actually possible to modify the Class 801 through Simugraph in order to gain more traction in its diesel engine like the Class 800?
If you are skilled enough with simugraph, it’s definitely possible. I’m pretty sure with the Fife Circle EP, they converted the class 801 into a class 800, and it gains more traction on diesel mode
XC also run between the fast line at Weston Super Mare and Bristol. But other than that. That’s about it.
