Train Simulator: The Riviera Line: Exeter-Paignton Route Add-On DLC

Very nice route! I highly recommend this route if you want to drive on the modern/latest version of it!

Nice route. Not too long or short. Great scenery and Interesting Route. Also love the class 143 (Pacer) which was added to this route

ENG/CZE It is a very nice route along the sea from Exeter to Newton Abbot after which the line disconnects from the main line and continues on to Paington. It is a double-track non-electrified line for its entire length, passing by beaches and through several tunnels by the sea. The whole section is about 48km in length, so it is more of a shorter line. On the other hand, it is very detailed and looks nice even at night and in winter scenarios. The DLC includes a DMU of Class 143 type, which is a light passenger train for local transport, sometimes called Railbus as it is technically based on buses. It was a cheap solution to modernise local rail services. The model looks nice, unfortunately it has problematic brakes that sometimes work and tend to increase pressure when not required. As well as the Class 143 you will also see an AI version of the Class 43 on the rails. There are also a large number of fan missions where you can drive both the Class 143 and Class 43, as well as a number of other passenger and freight trains (depending on the size of the fleet you have available) Overall I rate this 7/10, and especially for the very nice rural track which is not as hectic as the main lines around London or other big cities. Also worth noting is the large number of fan missions. Although it is a minor line, there is a track limit of 80 - 100mph, so even the speed fans will enjoy it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Jde o velmi pěknou trasu podél moře od Exeteru do Newton Abbotu za kterým se trať odpojuje od hlavní linky a pokračuje dále do Paingtonu. Po celé délce jde o dvoukolejnou neelektrifikovanou trať, která u moře projíždí kolem pláží a přes několik tunelů. Celý úsek má na délku cca 48km, patří tedy spíše ke kratším tratím. Na druhou stranu je však velmi detailně proveden a vypadá pěkně i v noci a v zimních scénářích. Součástí DLC je DMU typu Class 143, což je lehký osobní vlak pro lokální dopravu, někdy zvaný Railbus, neboť technicky vychází z autobusů. Šlo o levné řešení jak modernizovat lokální železniční dopravu. Model vypadá pěkně, bohužel má problématické brzdy, které někdy fungují a někdy mají tendenci zvyšovat tlak i když to není vyžadováno. Mimo Class 143 na kolejích uvidíte i AI verzi Class 43. Dále je k dispozici velké množství fanouškovských misí kde můžete řídit jak Class 143 a Class 43, ale i řadu dalších osobních i nákladních vlaků (záleží na rozsanu vozového parku, který máte dostupný) Celkově hodnotím 7/10 a to zejména pro velmi pěknou venkovskou trať, která není tak hektická jako hlavní tratě kolem Londýna či jiných velkých měst. Za zaznamenání stojí i velké množství fanouškovských misí. I když se jedná o vedlejší linku, je zde traťový limit 80 - 100 mhp, tedy si užijí i fanouškové rychlosti.

I would definitely reccomend this route! Well worth the price. However there is one issue I would like to raise with DTG in relation to their announce ment of the TS2016. On its release today I neted they are advertising a fully scenic version down to Kinswear whereas people who paid full wack for the DLC only get the scenary as far as Paignton. Surely a free upgrade would be applicable!!!

This is one lovely and probably one of the most detailed route DLCs available for RailWorks. It comes with 2 Locomotives, a Pacer and a HST, though I personally prefer the Pacer. There's great detail to this which makes me wonder why it doesn't lag for me since the West Highland Line does lag for me a lot, but I do run on a laptop and do plan to upgrade in the future. One of the best things about the locomotives is the sound and that the rail sounds (what people call the clickety-clack) isn't the standard one DTG uses and it adds to the realism of the DLC. One of the main problems of this route, which is to do with the Pacer loco mainly, is that the doors close very slowly after the closing door beep, and although it's not a plroblem for me, it could be for some people (I'm not saying it is). The other problem with this though is in scenarios, the AI trains leave stations while the doors are closing, and frankly so do I xD, but some peoplemay not like that as it's not realistic, but I don't mind since I'm a victim of doing it. I really like this route and recommend it to anyone, even at full price as it's worth it.

For a DLC that released over 9 years ago, I would say it's worth it, especially if you are a fan of either the 143 or the Riviera line (both of which I am).

Great route with fun little details like playground, old england-design houses and boat-harbours. Waves at the beach were a bit unrealistic, but everything else was perfect.

A another welcome addition to the TS (Train Simulator) collection. Great waves at around stations near beaches and worth buying! For me, I can have a chance for me to create FGW scenarios like London Paddington to Paignton in multi parts. Comes with a Class 143 (it is based of a bus or you can call it a ex-bus or any kind of bus) and Class 43. For me, it can also be definately worth buying in a special sale.

This is a lovely route, I was a Driver manager in this area and drove this route. I also trained drivers over this route. Note for developers. The crossing gates at Paignton should be down, two are up as train crosses, all should be down. plus, trains normally arriving in Paignton Platform 1. Trains can not be signalled out from Platform 2, unless for shunting to Platform 1. Over all this is a great route. if only this could be fixed.

Route Pros: Nice length, not too long, and not too short... Performs fairly well Looks nice even on lowest graphics comes with 6 career scenarios, and plenty of Workshop Scenarios. Locomotive Pros: Class 143 is seemingly well modeled Good sounds Nice two-tone horn nice to drive, not very complicated when the doors close, you get a nice guard to driver and driver to guard buzzer, with "C" button. Overall, this is a great route! You would be a fool not to get this route, especially for 25 bucks! What are you waiting around waiting for, go buy it!!!!!
