Train Simulator - Route Learning: Bristol Temple Meads to Exmouth (Class 158) // 1440p

[@alistairburgess8688]

I literally signalled 2F05 through Puxton the morning this was published!

[@PTGRail]

That's really cool! I'm just counting down the days (or rather months) until I start my signaller training. I've been offered a grade 3 job at Upper Holloway signal box on the Gospel Oak to Barking line :)

[@TheArkamedBat]

@@PTGRail You'll work with slowish Overground trains!

[@idrm1988]

Nice to see my local line, the Bristol to Taunton part, shown I enjoyed the video

[@PTGRail]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@andrewjenkins3362]

You're right about the stopping point at Highbridge, much closer to the Bristol end of the platform and hence the entrance/exit from the car park. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@TheArkamedBat]

The 158 is perfect for this service.

[@trainsimplayer5858]

Already i really like the new logo fof channel

[@rohantheboss342]

same

[@PTGRail]

Thanks! I thought it was about time this channel finally got a proper logo :)

[@pedroneves3153]

@@PTGRail new banner coming soon also?

[@noahhunt2003]

So nice to see you’re uploading again. Virtual Railroads have some pretty decent traction and routes available for Germany so they’re worth a try. The newer products like the Br111 and n-wagen train sets are almost up to AP standards

[@PTGRail]

I do like Virtual Railroads products! Would definitely like to make some more German videos :)

[@TheArkamedBat]

This channel is just about the right place.

[@Synnystershy]

There's also a Barnstaple to Axminster GWR service 1tpd (Mon-Fri only) and also the return journey Exmouth to Cardiff Central.

[@QwertyAfro]

Glad you are back, was thinking I need to have a crack at making a PTG Rail styled video for fun xD

[@arran9796]

When you come back then?

[@PTGRail]

That would be interesting to see! After all, you're a real driver now so you should be better than me.. ;)

[@pedroneves3153]

QWERTY we need you back as well don’t get it twisted 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@QwertyAfro]

@@PTGRail but I have never scripted anything... ever. Should be an absolute laugh xD

[@arran9796]

I thought we lost you 😅 but good to still have you and great vid!

[@TheGWRailfan]

Is it a coincidence that 158958 (the unit you drive in this video) is operating the evening run of this service today?

[@PTGRail]

it is a coincidence as I didn’t even realise haha

[@1hermannk]

Always enjoy your videos. Informative and very well planned.

[@CornishMiner]

Most enjoyable.

[@damianc.0.681]

I love the new logo for the channel

[@PTGRail]

Thanks! :)

[@lukethomas.125]

Very nice video PTG Rail. I find it unusual that the stops on the journey don’t include: Bedminster, Parson Street, Nailsea And Backwell, Yatton, Worle, Weston Milton and Tiverton Parkway.

[@noahhunt2003]

I was surprised to see as well, I think the return journey in the evening does stop at those stations

[@PTGRail]

I was surprised too! Noah, I just checked that out - it seems the evening service is now temporarily extended to Cardiff. The evening run has more stops between Exeter and Bristol, but still skips out on Tiverton Parkway, Weston Milton, Parson Street, and Bedminster.

[@Ben_Broomfield]

Great video as ever, glad to see you creating content, especially for my local route! Quick note if it’s not been mentioned. You’ll never get a single yellow aspect at EXD when routed up the bank to EXC due to the steep gradient 👍

[@PTGRail]

That makes sense - I'm sure some trains would really struggle to start moving on such a steep gradient! And thanks for the comment :)

[@southernenthusiast7843]

Loving the new channel icon mate!!

[@davidhill8163]

Another amazing video Mr Woo !

[@busspottb]

ooo new logo insted of the 455 from 2015

[@PTGRail]

I got the help of a friend to design the logo - I knew how I wanted it to look, but didn't know how to actually make it! :)

[@CycloneGU]

Ooh, the BHBP.

[@trailerparksupervisor7046]

There is a town called Western Supermarket?

[@HarryBennellick]

Noticed that the carriage numbers are not correct. In reality, it would go: 57776, 52776, 57746 (57776 & 52776 being coaches from Ex 158776 & 57746 being a coach from Ex 158746) Great video!

[@Ukfairgrounds]

Would be awesome if you made a other class 142 pacer video or a class 390 there my favourite trains

[@johnm2012]

If you want a recommendation for a route from another part of the world that's a bit different, you might like to try the Midland route across the Southern Alps in New Zealand.

[@PTGRail]

I'm interested in looking at this route in the future :)

[@PaddyWV]

I forget which one it is, but one of the Dovetail Simulators has an appalling 158 as standard. Even coders for BVE ten years ago came up with something better.

[@fgwHST43009]

Lympstone Village isn't a request stop.

[@marcod1600]

Is this Cornwall? Nice ride! Again a very nice video.

[@PTGRail]

Close! This route goes from Bristol (which is its own county), through Somerset to Devon. It doesn't quite go as far west as Cornwall.

[@fgwHST43009]

@@PTGRail Bristol > North Somerset > Somerset > Devon

[@CadenWASD]

56:19 what is that beeping noise and what do you do when it comes?

[@PTGRail]

That’s the DSD or driver safety device. It’s to make sure the driver is awake and alive. It goes off if the throttle and brakes haven’t been touched for a certain amount of time. In the game, press E and it resets it. In real life it’s a foot pedal - the driver keeps their foot on the pedal, and when the beep goes off, they lift their foot and put it back down again to reset it. If it’s not reset within a few seconds, the train will make an emergency brake application.

[@CadenWASD]

@@PTGRail ah, cool, thanks! isnt that called the dead man switch??

[@gwyneddboom2579]

@@CadenWASD it sort of is. The difference being that a dead man’s switch is just checking that something is present, whereas the DSD checks if the driver is actually functioning.

[@littlestation7796]

Can you do a route from Plymouth to somewhere on a class 800

[@BenKata23]

Would you ever release your custom made scenarios on something like Alan thomson Sim for us to recreate your drive?

[@PTGRail]

It's something I will consider, for sure. I used to do some on Steam Workshop for this purpose which are still available :)

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

in all your recent videos - this is the first video in like a year

[@PTGRail]

I've made 5 others in the past couple of weeks :)

[@NickFarrantino]

Hi PTG, where did you get the AP track patch for the route please?

[@PTGRail]

I just used the normal AP track patch I believe. You can get one for JT routes from Alan Thomson Simulation, but this route just uses the normal track so I think the standard track patch applies :)

[@probablyjay3449]

nice

[@WesternTrainSpotterUK]

How do I install this to my Rail works Directory I don’t know how to open it?

[@johnm2012]

Whose model of the class 158 is that? I've got the one downloaded via my Steam account but it doesn't have all the "bells and whistles" of this model. Does it have some enhancement pack applied, or is it a different model entirely?

[@PTGRail]

This model utilises the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 158 enhancement pack :)

[@jnksgb]

Great videos. I notice though you don’t sound your horn when you pass a W sign on this video, did you just forget?

[@jnksgb]

Explained later in the video 😂

[@PTGRail]

I mean I do often forget, but yes it was a time of day thing 😅

[@russmckenna5430]

The rain storms and heavy weather from the Armstrong pack really degrade these Learning Videos. You may like the change-up and challenge, but on-screen on KZbin, it totally destroys the video as we, the viewer, cannot see any of the scenery or signals which are perhaps visible to you on a much higher grade video card and a better monitor than we have.

[@ex48bw]

This sim is rubbish, it *never* rains like that in that part of Exeter! :P Polsloe Bridge is my local station, and it so happens that the crossover at Exmouth Junction giving access to the branch has been upgraded to allow 40mph.
