Western Mainlines Extension Suggestion:

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm currently building some scenarios, some of which in preparation for when the Cornish extension is released.
However, I'm finding most services from London to Cornwall run through the B&H line, (between Reading and Taunton), rather than via Bristol.

Any plans to add this additional line in the future?

	I would like to second that. The B&H route was a most interesting line to travel and not easy to work, whatever the traction used. Would also give the opportunity to link with the existing Just Trains route by adding the line between Westbury and the junction just east of Bath. Now that line was just plain beautiful with very pleasing scenery and some delightful stations along the way. So yes, any plans to add these routes in the (hopefully near) future?

	Hi, Been working on those missing lines for some time, just for my own use, but have to say it's pushing TS2017 to the limit to even save the route during building. Makes for more realistic scenarios to Plymouth though. Am currently awaiting the Cornwall extension so I can try to join all the bits of the jigsaw.
