This is a old route map. The version I have has many glitches. No reconition for picking up passengers at stations from time to time using scenarios. Graphics glitches, etc objects missing. This route needs to be updated.

It's a fairly straight forward route, but some changes need to be made. For instance: - When you're driving from Bristol to Exeter, you change onto the up main at Bridgwater at some 15mph points for no obvious reason, with no AWS warning of the reduced speed up ahead, affecting my overall score with the route at first, and doesn't change back to the down main until Exeter, which is pretty pointless. - Graphics are pretty awful and the scenery is NOT accurate for an add-on that costs £20.00. Surely it could be due an update soon. - Platforms 4, 5, and 6 at Exeter St. Davids aren't long enough to accomodate a 10 car class 800 set. I understand that the route is old but for £20.00, you would expect something better. I would strongly advise avoiding this add-on at full price and wait for a sale to be on, like I did. Other than that, It's a great route, as it is my local mainline as well.

First of all, the developer of this, Just Trains has released a much extended (Great) Western Mainlines in the meanwhile, worth a look. You get more than the photos and the description tell. I love the scenery, perfect for leasurely quick drive pleasures. Some 2D trees are in your face, but the density is great and there are plenty of little details, scenes. The scenarios use 6 different trains and there is a snow plough, too. There are some glitches with floating graphics, scenario timetables and platforms, but all manageable (as a player). Feels similar to Chiltern Main Line, Edinburgh-Glasgow and Settle-Carlisle.

For those who are having difficult on "test run" and "The Merchant Venturer" missions. You need to keep your eyes on the ETA. Let's suppose your schedule is to arrive on certain station at 9:15h. You arrive at the station at 9:14h, but you ETA is showing 9:20h. So it will fail the task. This DLC is standard missions only, so you will not receive or lose points for speeding. You will need to speed to mantain your ETA at the right schedule. In the end, you only need to complete the mission, it doesn't matter how you will do it.

Unable to play this scenario as it does not appear on the list of available scenarios, though it is in my library, Tried clicking on help but got nowhere. Very disappointed.

Certainly an old but good route by Just Trains and a must have for anyone that favors the western lines. The line is mostly flat without any real noticable grades making high spedd running fairly easy. There's sidings here and there and a reasonable amount of leg room to create scenarios. I personally haven't run into any issues regarding missing scenary or stations so if you're machine isn't too strong or have the scenary density set too low then you'll run into problems. It's worth picking up but best wait for a sale, usually 50-60% isn't too bad.

Only buy if on sale, its an older route with a few flaws. Temple Meads is missing Brunel's great train shed , a huge landmark of Bristol's railway heritage.some of the platforms are way too short for the included scenarios. The awful track textures can be improved with the AP enhancement pack. Worth it in the sale as its used with a lot of third party add ons.

only downside is platforms 4, 5 and 6 at Exeter St Davids which aren't long enough for a HST set or a 10-car Voyager set

I got this route a while ago in a sale. Despite its age, its not a bad route and has plenty of gameplay value to it. The route itself is a decent length that allows you to run HST's at full speed. The era is from around 2007 to present day. Although the graphics are not as rich as like you get with the newer routes such as South Wales Coastal. Its still an enjoyable route and is quick drive enabled as well. I give it a 7/10.

Own this add on, as part of my collection from Paddington to Painton, In all fairness to DTG, this line is what it is, it's a fairly straight piece of track in (real world) has all the siding's etc, you would expect. The only downside on this is. If your settings are running on low or lowerst, not all the station's will appear... Worth purchasing in a sale....
