Hi guys, today I’m going to be suggesting the Atlantic Coast Line, which is located in Cornwall, from Newquay to Par. The Atlantic Coast Line is a 20+3⁄4-mile (33 km) Network Rail branch line which includes a community service in Cornwall, England. The line runs from the English Channel at Par, to the Atlantic Ocean at Newquay. The journey time is around 50 minutes with around a max speed of 50mph. This is a map of the Atlantic Coast Line. The line serves the following stops, Newquay, Quintrell Downs, St Columb Road, Roche, Bugle, Luxulyan and Par. This line uses the Class 150/2 in GWR livery. Let’s look at details about the 150/2. The British Rail Class 150 Sprinter is a class of diesel multiple unit passenger trains; they were developed and constructed by British Rail Engineering Limited at York Carriage Worksbetween 1984 and 1987 for use on regional services across the UK. The type is a second-generation design, built to more modern standards and based on BR's Mark 3 body design for longer-distance services. It was developed alongside the lower-cost Pacers, which were built using bus parts, for use on short-distance services.[15] Two prototype units were built, followed by 135 production units in two batches. Subsequently, further members of the Sprinter family were also developed and introduced to service, including the Class 155, Class 156, Class 158 and Class 159. These trains entered service in the Uk during 1984. The manufacture of this train is British Rail Engineering Limited that provides most of the trains in the UK. All Class 150s were built by BREL at the York Carriage Works during the 1980s. The famliy name for these units is Sprinter. These trains replaced the BR First Generation DMUs which were older than the 150s. The date of construction for these sprinters was from 1984-1987. A total of 137 Class 150 Units were actually built. Most of them are scrapped now because new trains are getting ordered more and more. This trains successors were the Class 170, 172, 230 and 398. The Formation of the 150s were 2-3 cars per unit: DMSL-DMS or DMSL-MS-DMS. Here are the diagrams, 150/0 DMSL vehicles: DP230. 150/0 DMS vehicles: DP231. 150/0 MS vehicles: DR202 & DR203. 150/1 DMSL vehicles: DP238. 150/1 DMS vehicles: DP239. 150/2 DMSL vehicles: DP242. 150/2 DMS vehicles: DP243.

I have previously suggested this route in the Atlantic Coast And Truro Newquay Railway 1960 thread. With much of the combined route lost to history, I think it would be better, not to mention longer and more complete to have a setting before the closures with some classic traction types. We have vast amounts of modern traction and really need some of the older classes to balance things a little.
Now let’s look at all of the stations on the line This is Newquay Station, there is only 1 platform at this station and the only service that departs from this station is the Par service. Newquay Railway Station serves the town and seaside resort of Newquay in Cornwall, England. It is the terminus of the Atlantic Coast Line from Par, 302 miles 49 chains (302.61 miles, 487.01km) from the zero point at London Paddington measured via Box and Plymouth Millbay. The station is situated in the heart of Newquay, close to the town centre itself and the beaches. The station is managed by Great Western Railway which operates local branch line services to and from Par. In the summer, there are also services to and from London. The station first opened in 1876. But when it was 1905 the station was rebuilt and they opened the Truro line. In 1963 the Truro line ceased operation. In 1987 they reduced the station to one platform only. After it departs Newquay, 3-5 minutes before reaching Quintrell downs, it goes over this small viaduct, this goes over a road named Edgcumbe Avenue, this road takes you towards the A392 but going the other way takes you towards Newquay and the A3058. After crossing the viaduct, There is a closed down Foot crossing which is named the Treloggan level crossing. This is about 3 minutes before approaching Quintrell Downs.
There is an active train crossing in the small village named Chapel. Chapel is quite small which means there’s not a lot of houses, there’s also a farm in the middle of the small village.
Now let’s look at the next station. This is Quintrell Downs Station. Quintrell Downs Railway Station serves the village of Quintrell Downs in Cornwall, England. It is 300 miles 16 chains (300.20 miles, 483.13km) measured from the zero point at London Paddington via Box and Plymouth Millbay, on the Atlantic Coast Line. The station is operated by Great Western Railway with local services in each direction all calling here. The first railway here was a horse-worked line from Newquay Harbour to Hendra Crazey. It was built by Joseph Treffry and completed in 1849. The Cornwall Minerals Railway opened its line from Fowey to St Dennis Junction on 1 June 1874, where it connected with Treffry's Newquay Railway. Although a siding was provided at an early date and passenger trains began passing through from 20 June 1876, the station at Quintrell Downs was not opened until 2 October 1911 (as Quintrell Downs Platform), by which time the line was part of the Great Western Railway. The suffix 'platform' in a GWR station name meant a staffed halt, and a member of staff remained until the gated level crossing was replaced by an open crossing in the 1990s. This crossing was upgraded to automatic half barriers in 2003-04.
Shortly after departing Quintrell Downs, you will go past a small area named Coswarth. It’s in the middle of all of these local fields.
After that, you will drive past another Small town named White Cross. There’s a caravan park next to the train tracks when going past White Cross, There are more caravans on the other side.
This is St Columb Road Station. This station is located in the village which is named St Columb. Here is a map of the village. There are a couple of houses and a couple of takeaway shops nearby. Let’s look at details about the station. St Columb Road railway station (Cornish: Fordh Sen Kolom) serves the village of St Columb Roadin Cornwall, England. The station is situated on the Atlantic Coast Line, 296 miles 11 chains(296.14 miles, 476.59 km) measured from the zero point at London Paddington (via Box and Plymouth Millbay).[1] All services are operated by Great Western Railway, which also manages the station. The station opened in 1876, when it opened, it was called Halloon, 6 months later, it was renamed to St Columb Road. The first railway here was a horse-worked line from Newquay Harbour to Hendra Crazey. It was built by Joseph Treffry and completed in 1849. The Cornwall Minerals Railway opened its line from Fowey to St Dennis Junction on 1 June 1874, where it connected with Treffry's Newquay Railway. The trains continued to carry only goods traffic but a passenger service was introduced on 20 June 1876. The station was originally known as Halloon but was renamed "St Columb Road" on 1 November 1878.[2] The passing loop was extended in 1933 to accommodate the long holiday trains that were then handled on the branch, but it was taken out of use on 3 January 1965 when the goods yard was closed. St Columb Road is a request stop on the line, so passengers wishing to alight must inform the conductor and passengers wishing to join the train must signal to the driver. The typical service is one train every two hours in each direction between Par and Newquay, with some services extending to Plymouth and one train in the summer extending to Penzance. On summer Saturdays, there is just one train per day in each direction due to the intercity services running through to Newquay in lieu of the local services. Trains are usually operated by Class 150Sprinters. The trains between Par and Newquay are designated as a community rail service and is supported by marketing provided by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership. The line is promoted under the "Atlantic Coast Line"
After the train departs St Columb Road, the tracks will turn left and go past Trevarren, and then the tracks will turn right, and then go past Ruthvoes.
After Ruthvoes, the train will pass by an area named Goss Moor, there’s another caravan park located at this location.
After that, you will turn left and go straight until you reach Roche Station, Roche is an area with houses, there are a lot of warehouses nearby aswell. Let’s look at details about the station. This is Roche Station. Roche railway station (Cornish: Tregarrek) serves the village of Roche in Cornwall, England. The station is situated on the Atlantic Coast Line, 290 miles 40 chains (290.50 miles, 467.51 km) measured from the zero point at London Paddington (via Box and Plymouth Millbay).[1]The station is managed and served by Great Western Railway local trains. The station opened in 1876 and was called Victoria, then in 1904, it was renamed to Roche. The Cornwall Minerals Railway opened its line from Fowey to Newquay on 1 June 1874. The trains at first carried only goods traffic and a depot was provided at Holywell. A passenger service was introduced on 20 June 1876 when the depot was renamed "Victoria", which gave its name to the modern hamlet on the site, and then changed to "Roche" on 1 May 1904. The passing loop was extended on 3 July 1936 to accommodate the longer holiday trains then using the line. It was closed on 3 January 1965 when the goods yard was closed. For a while trains used the old westbound platform but on 12 July 1965 this was changed to the eastbound platform and the westbound track was then removed. Roche is a request stop on the line, so passengers wishing to alight must inform the conductor and passengers wishing to join the train must signal to the driver. The typical service is one train every two hours in each direction between Par and Newquay, with some services extending to Plymouth and one train in the summer extending to Penzance. On summer Saturdays, there is just one train per day in each direction due to the intercity services running through to Newquay in lieu of the local services. Trains are usually operated by Class 150Sprinters. The trains between Par and Newquay are designated as a community rail service and is supported by marketing provided by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership. The line is promoted under the "Atlantic Coast Line" name. The Victoria Inn at Roche is part of the Atlantic Coast Line rail ale trail.
Shortly after departing, you will go to another station named Bugle, Bugle is a big village located between Bilberry and Treverbyn, Let’s look at details about this station. This is Bugle Station. The station is below street level, you have to walk down stairs to access this station. Bugle railway station (Cornish: Karnrosveur) serves the village of Bugle in Cornwall, England. The station is situated on the Atlantic Coast Line, 288 miles 3 chains (288.04 miles, 463.55 km) measured from the zero point at London Paddington (via Box and Plymouth Millbay).[1] All trains are operated by and the station is managed by Great Western Railway. The station first opened in 1876, it was named Bugle since it first opened. The first railway here was a horse-worked line from Par Harbour to "near the Bugle Inn" at Molinnis. It was built by Joseph Treffry and opened on 18 May 1847. On 1 June 1874 a new line was opened by the Cornwall Minerals Railway. Running beyond Par to Fowey, and continuing past Molinnis to join up with another of Treffry's tramways to Newquay. A passenger service was introduced on 20 June 1876 when a station with a single platform on the north side of the line was provided at Bugle. The line from Bugle eastwards to Goonbarrow Junction was doubled on 20 July 1930, with the new line passing behind the platform to create an island platform. From 29 November 1964 the original line was only used only for freight trains to reach the Carbis branch. This meant that all passenger trains now use the 1930 platform face. The Carbis branch closed on 25 August 1989 leaving just a single track through the station and all the way to Newquay, which sets the low frequency of train service which is possible on the branch. Bugle is a request stop on the line, so passengers wishing to alight must inform the conductor, and passengers wishing to join the train must signal to the driver. The typical service is one train every two hours in each direction between Par and Newquay, with some services extending to Plymouth and one train in the summer extending to Penzance. On summer Saturdays, there is just one train per day in each direction due to the intercity services running through to Newquay in lieu of the local services. Trains are usually operated by Class 150Sprinters. The trains between Par and Newquay are designated as a community rail service and is supported by marketing provided by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership. The line is promoted under the "Atlantic Coast Line" name. The Bugle Inn is part of the Atlantic Coast Line rail ale trail.
After you leave Bugle, you will head towards Luxulyan station. This is another village, near by, there is an airsoft paintball centre, it is located near a small lake. Let’s look at details about the station. This is Luxulyan station. There is grass all over the platforms, the station is still in use if someone requests to stop the train and get on. Luxulyan railway station (Cornish: Logsulyan) serves the civil parish and village of Luxulyan in mid-Cornwall, England. The station is situated on the Atlantic Coast Line, 285 miles 78 chains(285.98 miles, 460.23 km) measured from the zero point at London Paddington (via Box and Plymouth Millbay).[1] Great Western Railwaymanage the station and operates all the trains that call. It opened in 1876 and is still called Luxulyan. The first railway at Luxulyan was a horse-worked line from Par Harbour to Molinnis which was built by Joseph Treffry, opening on 18 May 1847. It climbed up the side of the Luxulyan Valley on a cable-worked incline and then crossed it on the Treffry Viaduct. On 1 June 1874 a new line was opened by the Cornwall Minerals Railway. Running from Foweyto Newquay, it bypassed the incline, instead passing beneath the Treffry Viaduct and entering Luxulyan through the 50 yard (46m) Luxulyan Tunnel. The tramway was retained from Luxulyan over the Treffry Viaduct to a quarry at Colcerrow until about 1933.[citation needed] A new siding to serve the Treskilling China ClayWorks was opened in 1916. This survived until 1975 but the public goods yard closed on 27 September 1964, as did the connection to the stub of the Colcerrow branch east of the station. The passing loop and the second platform face were taken out of use at the same time. There is a single platform on the east side of the track which has a shelter and seats. At the southern end of this is the car park which connects to a small lane that leads to the village's main road. The station has a solar powered help point which allows waiting people to find out when the next trains will arrive. Luxulyan is a request stop on the line, so passengers wishing to alight must inform the conductor and passengers wishing to join the train must signal to the driver. The typical service is one train every two hours in each direction between Par and Newquay, with some services extending to Plymouth and one train in the summer extending to Penzance. On summer Saturdays, there is just one train per day in each direction due to the intercity services running through to Newquay in lieu of the local services. Trains are usually operated by Class 150Sprinters.
After you depart, the next stop will be Par where the journey ends, Par is a seaside town near St Blazey, there is a caravan park near the station. Let’s look at details about the last station for the journey. This is Par Station. Par railway station (Cornish: Porth) serves the villages of Par, Tywardreath and St Blazey, Cornwall, England. The station is 281 miles66 chains (281.82 mi; 453.6 km) from the zero point at London Paddington measured via Boxand Plymouth Millbay.[1] It is the junction for the Atlantic Coast Line to Newquay. It opened in 1859 but the Newquay branch wasn’t opened until 1879. The station is managed by Great Western Railway, which operates the train services along with CrossCountry. The station opened with the Cornwall Railway on 4 May 1859. The West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser reported at the time that it is situated on the western side of Par bay, about a mile from the pier head, close to the road to Fowey and Tywardreath, the traffic of which places as well as St Blazey and the neighbourhoods intended to receive here. The departure and arrival stations are spacious edifices, both having verandahs projecting over the platforms, with convenient waiting rooms, ticket office, porter and lamp rooms, and other necessary conveniences. A goods station has not yet been erected, but considering the amount of business likely to be transacted here it is more than probable that a goods shed will be required before long.[2] The goods shed was approved by the directors on 10 February 1860 and was built of stone. The station was too small to warrant a station master, but the "booking constable" was paid an additional 22 pounds each year by the Post Office to also act as a post master. Two cottages were built just outside the station to house railway staff. In October 1877 during a storm, the roofs of the passenger buildings and goods sheds were torn off.[3] A connection from Par to the Cornwall Minerals Railway line to Newquay was opened on 1 January 1879. This was standard gauge and so traffic between this and the broad gaugeCornwall Railway had to be transferred between trains at Par until the broad gauge was converted over the weekend of 21 May 1892. New station buildings were erected in 1884.[4] The Cornwall Railway was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway on 1 July 1889. The Great Western Railway was nationalised into British Railways from 1 January 1948. This in turn was privatised in the 1990s. On 19 May 1968 an experimental Freightlinerterminal was opened on the site of the now demolished goods shed. Containers were switched between rail and road vehicles; mainly china clay traffic was handled but this did not preclude other goods. It only lasted for a couple of years.
Now let’s look at a potential DLC, The Class 801 and 800 for GWR, Sometimes these trains do a service from Paddington to Newquay, In the game you would be able to experience it from Par to Newquay and back. Here is the train in GWR livery, It has that Dark Green color on the sides and yellow on the front. Here is the driver cab of the Class 801/800. It’s the same as the ECML one but on the outside it’s Dark Green. This is the interior of the GWR version, the seat maquette is coloured Dark Green and Black, above the window, it shows what seat this is. Well, let’s look at details about the train. The British Rail Class 800 – branded by Great Western Railway (GWR) as Intercity Express Train (IET), and by London North Eastern Railway(LNER) as Azuma – is a type of bi-mode multiple unit train built by Hitachi Rail for GWR and LNER. The type uses electric motors powered from overhead electric wires for traction, but also has diesel generators to enable trains to operate on unelectrified track. It is a part of the Hitachi AT300 product family.

The Class 800 trains came into service on the Great Western Main Line on 16 October 2017, while the first examples on the East Coast Main Line were put into service on 15 May 2019. Early operations have been troubled by fatiguecracking and corrosion on the aluminium vehicle body shells, particularly on the yaw dampers.
At Par, there will be AI Hsts going to Penzance, and Paddington in GWR livery, If you get the IET DLC, there will also be AI ones going to Penzance and Paddington on other platforms at Par.
When you get the IET DLC, it will also be available for you on the Great Western Express route, But on the Atlantic Coast Line Route, you will have to drive In disesel mode as the tracks between Newquay and Par are not electrified. The HST could also work well with the Newquay Branch as that used to operate to Newquay from Paddington.
Now let’s look at some scenarios, Scenario 1: Rerouted to the Atlantic Coast, in this scenario, you will drive a Class 800 but due to engineering works on the Penzance Branch, you will be rerouted to Newquay instead. Scenario 2: The Slow High speed train, you will operate a HST, from Newquay and drive to Par, journey will be normal as expected. Scenario 3: Major Disruption, In this scenario, you will operate a Class 150/2 from Newquay, you will head to Par but there will be delays due to a Train failure after Par towards Reading. Alot of trains from Penzance had to Terminate at Par and drive the service back to Penzance. There are also delays caused for the Newquay-Paddington service.
Scenario 4: Operating with a guard onboard, in this one, you will operate a 150/2 from Par to Newquay, there will also be a guard on your service, they will open and close the doors for you in the other driver cab. Scenario 5: Tickets Please!, this one is where you are a guard in a Class 150/2, you will check the passengers ticket, if someone doesn’t have a ticket you will have to give them a penalty fare, if they ticket is invalid or already expired they might get a penalty fare aswell, if they have a ticket and is on the right train, they are good to go.
Let’s look at the main services that you can drive in the route, You will be able to drive the Class 150/2 from between Newquay and Par, this also goes for the IET DLC and the HST, The HST will be free for this route if you have or don’t have the GWR route.
Anyways, I will be finishing the scenario here, Thanks for reading this, anyways, remember to put your thoughts down below.
Nice route but needs to be set back in BR days when you could have a summer Saturday loco hauled timetable in operation as a variant to the rather sparse DMU service in the week. Regardless of era, to provide a complete China Clay operation you would also need to include the Cornish main line up to Lostwithiel and the Fowey branch. BR era would be an ideal opportunity to get a Class 120 Swindon Cross Country unit in the game complete with rasping exhaust. In more modern era the branch tended to be worked by Class 108 DMU’s before they were usurped by 153’s. 150’s were comparatively rare on the line as certainly out of season loadings would not have justified a 2 car unit under Regional Railways/Wales and West/Wessex Trains etc. cram them in policy.
