That's okay. It was a project done in my spare time to play around with the editor, which resulted in this. It's not supposed to be anything particular, but takes the shape closest to a heritage railway given they are usually quite simple in architecture.

There are other routes I have made which include semaphores. Just that this particular route doesn't use them. Thanks anyway

I won't lie, I am upset there are no semaphores. But despite my hurtful honesty, which I do apologize for, I do see your point: all those requirements would indeed be a pain

I didn't want to add any additional requirements just for signal assets, so made do with the colour light signals instead.

Also, I’d this is meant to be a heritage railway, why aren’t there any semaphore signals?

Admittedly, there is something I’d like to ask: is this route located in a specific region of the UK?

Thank you.

This is a nice relaxing route and is really pretty, and it is easy to make scenarios.

Here's a scenario I made!!!!

Thanks for the exellent route! This route has the same quality as the original DTG TS routes. Can I make some scenarios on this route for steam workshop?

I agree, Purno. Still a favourite of mine to this day.

Thanks Purno. Just proves you can still make a decent route with so few requirements...

Thanks for sharing this route. It's a nice route. Really cool you kept the DLC requirements as low as 1 route.

Best watching some YouTube tutorials on route building. Once you know what all the buttons do and have some practice, doubling this route would be quite straightforward.

Thanks for the advice. You wouldn't mind giving some support as to how to modify the route (i.e. lay double track the whole way)? I'm a little rusty when it comes to using the route editor.

If you delete the signal the AI train would continue uninterrupted. Only problem is if another train was ahead of it in the platform, they would collide, or the service would wait at another signal back up the line. Depends on how many AI services you are running.

And at this time I have no intentions to further modify this route as I'm satisfied with how it is now. But I have no problem with others modifying the route if they like.

Hello. The issue I mentioned occurred at signal SL12 on the diagram. Theoretically speaking, what would happen if I deleted the signal?

Also, you mentioned coming back to the route. I was wanting to request a double-tracked version of the line, if that would be possible.

I built a test scenario this morning and the issue didn't occur, so it must have been a routing issue.

Passenger trains always use the line to the left relative to the direction of travel, if I remember correctly.

Usually a train will obey the signal aspect, did you make sure the train was routed via the correct platform? as by default sometimes the AI will take the shortest route from A to B and not via the correct directional running lines like it should.

Also if the train itself is longer than the passing loop (I.e. a shorter length train intending to give way to it on the other platform). I've found this often doesn't work with AI in scenarios.

Thanks. On the topic of signalling, I recently encountered a strange problem. I had created a two-train scenario, and the two were crossing at Southford. However, as I was waiting for the train coming from Merrywell, it inexplicably came to a complete stop at the signal block just outside the station. I flew over there with the free camera, and the signal was green. Any suggestions as to what was causing the issue?

Main depot at Kealing and a smaller depot at Merrywell. Mainline depot is at Shepperton.

Wellbridge to Southford has AWS because its the faster 45mph section of the route. I believe some heritage railways make use of AWS magnets as an extra element of safety.

Remind me where the two depots are? I know one is at Keating, but where is the other?

And one more question; if this is a heritage line, why does it have AWS at Wellbridge-which isn't near the mainline link?

Well exactly that. There's enough sidings and passing loops to store about 8 coach rakes, you'd probably fit in 5 services or at most 7 services if you switch locomotives at the termini stations.

The 2 depots can accommodate plenty of locomotives, but in practical terms you'd won't use that many trains unless your computer is quite powerful to handle the drop in performance if you decide to fill the depots out to full capacity. Even then the depot on the mainline portion is quite sizeable and is more than capable of storing extra rolling stock.

In an operational sense, 3 to 4 services would run on a regular day, maxed out at 5-7 on a gala.

What sort of route capacity does it have? I noticed that the large numbers of passing loops and the double track stretch around Wellbridge could allow for up to 3 trains in conventional service, or up to 5 on a gala timetable.

Cheers Railfan. Been a while since I last used this route myself. I should really have another play around with it, after all it took me over 3 years to finish it... :P

This route runs like a dream-better than some of the official DLC, I'd wager. Great work.

I've given this a run in Quick Drive, and I like what I see.

thats what i do as well alex in my spare time sometimes

Thanks albino7621, it took me enough time to develop it! Personally I enjoy making free roams and creating my own selection of preserved rolling stock for the route to play around with.

Hi, Very nice route with plenty of sidings to play with. Only done QD around whole route at the moment you have done some nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much.

Hi RHDR Railfan, a have a few routes on the workshop as well as one under development. Click on my profile then go to workshop items and you'll find them there. Here's my latest route -
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1352160453

If you are thinking about getting a new route, purchase the Riviera Line - I'd strongly recommend it as a personal favourite in TS. Anyway, thanks for the kind words :)

This looks like a great route, but I do not currently own the modern version of the Riviera Line so I sadly can't play it. Also, do you have any other routes available on the Steam Workshop?

Good to hear! Thanks Adam :)

Worked spot on.... Thank You! Great line btw! Love it!

@Adam Driff Driffill, If you unsubscribe, open TS and delete the route in the route edit menu, close TS and re-subscribe, that will do a fresh download of the route. Otherwise it might be worth re-downloading the Riviera Line DLC to fix any issues with the assets. Hope that helps :)

My game crashed while I was driving on this route, now my track has completely dissappeared. any offers on why? And how to get it back?

Thanks very much Scouser. Way too much time and fustration went into building this route, so its great being able to share it for others to enjoy also :) And yes, a GWR loco would be the best way to enjoy it :P

Very impressive and enjoyable. Alex, I sincerely thank and commend you for this route, it must have taken a tremendous amount of effort. I tried a QD from Kealing to Westley Bridge, using the Class 159. (I know, I know, I should have used a GWR loco, I'll do so later). Very, very good.

Thanks Chris. This route's certainly my proudest achievement on TS. Its always nice to hear people enjoying it at the end of the day :)

Great little fun packed railway. Lots of scope to drive anything on it. Steam,Diesels you name it.
Well done AirbourneAlex.

Have not download as dont have the DLC for it but looks really great!

had it already,sorry.

Thanks Nano :)

Superb route with beautiful scenery! Great for all kind of steam and diesel train, it's pure fun to drive on this route! Thank you! :)

@AirbourneAlex, I am working on a electrified version of this awesome route, Would it be ok to upload to the workshop when finished??

That would be cool but personally I don't really use destination blinds in TS (I always forget to set them up when changing cabs :P ) But if others would like to see some for this route then I have no problem.

If you want I'll make some destinations for the AP150/1 and 150/2.

i can verify it overwrites the old version

Yes it should overwrite the old version. The route file is the same, so in theory it should overwrite. It'll be nice if someone could verify this though?
