Route Riviera Line: Exeter – Plymouth & Paignton (incl. Class 150 & 802) - Feedback

Indeed. NTA to PLY is not as scenic from the cab as sitting in the train and of course what you can see is hindered by the accurate depiction of Network Rail’s linear forest! In some respects going to Exmouth (and maybe Crediton too) would have created more of a Devon Metro feel to the route. Not to mention self containing the service and allowing a bit of delay to build up on the single track sections.

 

I tend to use the external camera on the Plymouth to Newton Abbott section to make the most of it - the scenery is very well done imo, just harder to appreciate it from the cab view.
