This is a ‘mostly’ accurate representation of the area between Bridgwater and Bristol. Due to limitations within ROS platform assignment is not possible, however platforms have been labelled within Temple Meads station for added realism. However as trains will stop at the first valid platform they encounter and Temple Meads being formed of several half and half platforms, you may find that getting the train to stop at the timetabled location is not possible.

Note the map comes in three sections, be warned the first (Bridgwater-Weston) will likely be hidden when you start (it is above).

Timetable

The included timetable is based on real workings between 07:00 and 08:00 on 02/01/2019. The standard off peak service is given below, however the timetable is based entirely in peak so this is not terribly accurate.
