Bristol

 

Bristol is the crossroads of the west - traffic from London to South Wales, and traffic from Devon and Cornwall to the Midlands and beyond. The usual traffic diversity means you’ll be constantly regulating the flows to avoid any delays as far as possible.

The entire Bristol ASC is covered on a wide scrollable format, with the additional benefit of Avonmouth Docks (actually controlled by St. Andrews Junction signalbox). This area is controlled by five signallers - Weston, Bristol, Bath, Filton, and St. Andrews.

Services include London - Bristol Temple Meads HSTs, London - Cardiff/Swansea HSTs , Cross Country Voyagers, most of which run through from the South West to the Midlands and beyond; others terminating at Bristol TM. Local services ply the many branches and local stations. Finally freight traffic to and from Avonmouth Docks, the re-opened Portishead branch, and the odd Binliner train. A very diverse simulation where no two hours are the same!

Bristol also features a “modern day” and a “1980s” mode so timetables can be written to allow for the various track changes that have been made over the years.
