    For constructive feedback, I’m going to say a few stuff
    1. It’s Paignton, not Painton
    2. The trains that actually run on the line are the Class 150, 158, 166 and 802
    3. If the 802 wasn’t added to the route, then it would be nice to see HST’s along this route
    4.






    there isn’t a pacer :(

    150/2 is the correct class and subclass. The Class 143 pacers were used by GWR and I'm sure I have seen a video of one coupled to a 150/2 with both in GWR green livery passing Dawlish on the sea wall.
    For me, the sea wall alone is reason enough to make this route as this is a very famous spot to watch railway activity.
