I think that is it. If i have forgotten something, Then please accept my apologies. 

 

So. In honor of Martins hard work updating this route, I present you a mini Rail tour.  

 

So we have borrowed the HST from the 125Group. They wanted the set turning anyway. So you will drive from Reading to Reading. You will go via Newbury, Trowbridge, Bath Spa, Bristol, Taunton, Exeter, Axminister, Yeovil, Castle Cary, and a fast run back to Reading. 

 

You do follow a couple of trains going round, and please remember. This is FICTIONAL. All AI is taken from a Sunday. So not much around to start. But does pick up along the way. 

 

You do have a couple of calling points. Just so you can make a tea, or something. Your calling points are as follows

Reading

Bristol-t-Meads

Exeter St David’s

Yeovil Junction

Reading

All signals work correctly, So no Tabbing to do. 

So. Lets get the clag up, and drive the iconic HST around the West of England for one last time. 

Thank you for downloading and playing. Enjoy
