Description
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 and included within this directory is a more detailed rundown of the included timetable which is based on real workings between 07:00 and 08:00 on 02/01/2019, Schedule_02022019.txt.
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).

Csaba –
Great job! Thanks for sharing.
There is a solution though for timetabling with half platforms.
If a train should, for instance, pass Platform 8A first in order to stop at Platform 8B, you can simply timetable a pass, then an arrive and depart next, e.g.
10:00;pas;Bristol
10:00;10:05;Bristol
The train will not stop at Platform 8A but at Platform 8B. I’ve used this solution for my simulations and it did work.

A pretty large network, and nice to see more route coverage. Would be nice to see more accurate line speeds or a full-day timetable though. But I don’t want to reduce your efforts to none, I don’t have enough patience to make this kind of thing!
