    Hi :)
    I reckon a route from Bristol Temple Meads to Taunton would be a nice addition to the game. It offers both express cross country and GWR services as well as local stopping services going via Weston Super-Mare. There are a total of 11 stations on the 48 mile route. The base content could include a Class 221 Super voyager and the HST and 166 from GWE with the HST being re skinned into the Cross Country livery. Potential extra DLC for this route could be the class 158 in GWR livery and the class 800 in GWR livery.

    Set it in the 70s/80s, even better!

    I'd probably buy that with CC/GWR, but probably not if it was set in the 70s/80s.

    As a bonus should really include the Severn Beach line or up to Bristol Parkway which would encompass the through workings at Temple Meads. Severn Beach would also add some scenic appeal as, let’s face it, BTM to Taunton is largely flat featureless flood plain for most of the way.
