    IMG_6425.jpeg IMG_6132.jpeg Posted this idea on the Facebook a while ago. So thought Id throw it here too.

    Another Cardiff Network type route.
    Would include 165 and HST with layers from other GWR stock.

    Decent amount of different gameplay options. In real life on this route the services would run as follows:

    Passenger:
    Patchway - Bristol Temple Meads (BTM)
    Bristol Parkway - BTM (GWR/XC)
    BTM - Severn Beach

    ECS:
    Stoke Gidford - BPW ECS
    St Phillips Marsh - BTM/BPW ECS

    Freight:
    BPW - Avonmouth Docks
    BPW/ Patchway - Portbury Docks
    BTM - Portbury Docks


    Disscuss :))

    Good suggestion. The Severn Beach line alone gets a LAMPOIL from me, very scenic down the Avon Gorge section then out along the marsh flats to Severn Beach - the settlement which epitomises the cliche, “Heard of sod all, but never thought I’d see it.”

    However I would be tempted to set it back a few years, maybe the late 00’s, when the Avonmouth Bulk Handling Terminal still despatched several MGR trains a day to Didcot Power Station.
