West Cornwall Local: Penzance - St Austell & St Ives is a route for Train Sim World 2 developed by Rivet Games, covering the westernmost portion of the Cornish Main Line from Penzance to St Austell, plus the St Ives Bay Line. The route is set in early 90s during the sectorization era of British Rail and features the BR Class 150/2 Sprinter in Regional Railways for passenger services and the BR Class 37/5 hauling Turbot and Seacow wagons for freight.
The Cornish Main Line has long been the backbone for Cornwall. Opened in 1867, the line weaves its way through the landscape linking Cornwall to the rest of the country. Brunel originally built the line to his unique 7ft “broad gauge”, but in 1892 the route was converted to standard gauge. For those areas not reached by the main line, branches sprawl out to serve local communities, such as the St. Ives Bay Line, which also sees tourist traffic - holidaymakers keen to make a coastal getaway.
The route takes place between Penzance and St. Austell (44 miles) including the Branch Line to St. Ives, departing the mainline at St. Erth. There are 11 stations, 8 on the mainline and 3 on the St. Ives Branch.
MAIN LINE SECTION: PENZANCE - ST. AUSTELL
The main line heads towards Exeter as far as St. Austell, a distance of around 40-miles, and is part of the Cornish Main Line. Typically, the line is serviced regularly with fast and semi fast main line trains to Bristol, Wales, London and the North of England as well as DMU local stopping services which serve the many communities of Cornwall.
The line is characterised with a maximum permitted speed of 75 mph and consists of a single track between the Shunt limit of St. Austell to just north of the town Probus where the line is doubled. This continues almost to Penzance where the line becomes single again for the approach into the terminus station and past Long Rock Traction Maintenance Depot.
Signalling consists of standard 2- and 3-aspect colour light signals and Western region lower-quadrant semaphore signals.
Total journey time between Penzance and St. Austell is typically around 50 minutes.
ST. IVES BRANCH LINE: ST. ERTH - ST. IVES
The coastal line of St. Ives branches out from the main line at St. Erth and covers a distance of around 3-miles. Whilst there is a main line connection, DMUs typically operate from the bay platforms and are confined to the branch.
The line is characterised with a maximum permitted speed of 30 mph and is entirely single track working.
Signalling consists of standard 2-aspect colour light (St. Erth end) and Western region lower-quadrant semaphore signals.
Total journey time between St. Erth and St. Ives is typically around 18 minutes.
The stations between St . Ives and St Erth are Carbis Bay, Lelant and Lelant Saltings (which has no service)
