The Sunshine Coast Line initially follows the River Colne as it leaves Colchester in the county of Essex, UK. From Wivenhoe it leaves the river continuing East towards the coast before splitting into two branches, the first continuing onward to the resort of Clacton-on-Sea, the second heading North towards Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze. It forms one of a number of branch lines diverging from the Great Eastern Mainline, with the most interesting feature being Colchester Town station (formerly St. Botolph's named after the nearby priory) where services reverse outward before continuing. At the time of simulation in 2022, services were operated by the Greater Anglia franchise.

Simulation

The project timetable contains a thorough simulation of services operating along the line on the morning of the 2nd March 2022, services commencing at 04:42am and the simulation ending just after 10am. Included within the map is Colchester station, with all main line, as well as Sunshine Coast Line, services as well as various freight movements.
