Hello, today I am going to be suggesting the Cornish Mainline, a 78 mile long route running from the Furthest West Town of Penzance, to Britains ocean city of Plymouth. A considerable chunk of this route is already in Train Sim World, with rivet games’ West Cornwall Local route, which is set in BR era, however, this route definitely had its flaws, with it ending at a questionable location. This Suggestion is Suggesting the Full Route, set in present day, —————————————————————————————————————————— What Are the Locos Included in this Route? BR Class 800 “IET” (GWR) The BR Class 800 is the staple of GWR traction, these trains run a majority of the services on the Cornish Mainline to places such as London, Exeter and Plymouth. BR Class 43 “HST” Castle Set (Sliding Doors) The Good old HST makes a return for this route, doing stopping services along the route, these trains were converted to Castle Sets and used to make up Regional services in the West Country, however, these are soon to go. —————————————————————————————————————————— What Are The Stations Along the Route? STATIONS; PENZANCE, ST ERTH, HAYLE, CAMBORNE, REDRUTH, TRURO, ST AUSTELL, PAR, LOSTWITHIEL, BODMIN PARKWAY, LISKEARD, MENHENIOT, ST GERMANS, SALTASH, ST BUDEAUX FERRY ROAD, KEYHAM, DOCKYARD, DEVONPORT AND PLYMOUTH. DEPOTS; PENZANCE LONG ROCK DEPOT PLYMOUTH LAIRA T.R.S.M DEPOT —————————————————————————————————————————— What Makes This Route so Unique? The Cornish Mainline has a variety of tight turns, and steep ever changing gradients, which adds a lot of challenge for the Player. The Cornish Mainline also has a lot of Heritage Value, for example the semaphore signals at St Erth, which is a rare feature at Train Stations Nowadays in the UK. What are the Services? PENZANCE - LONDON PADDINGTON (9/10 CAR IET) (SEMIFAST) LONDON PADDINGTON - PENZANCE (9/10 CAR IET) (SEMIFAST) PENZANCE - EXETER ST DAVIDS (5 CAR IET) (STOPPING) EXETER ST DAVIDS - PENZANCE (5 CAR IET) (STOPPING) PENZANCE - PLYMOUTH (CASTLE SET HST) (STOPPING) PLYMOUTH - PENZANCE (CASTLE SET HST) (STOPPING) —————————————————————————————————————————— PRICE: Due to the Complex Countryside Scenery, Extensive Route Milage and a service length runtime of 2 Hours, this route would be priced at the standard, £29.99 Thank you all for Reading this Suggestion
Lovely route, but it'd definitely need the class 158, as they run some of the Penzance to Plymouth services, and maybe the 150 as well.
