Overview
The Cornish Riviera express, still referred to by many as 'the limited' from the train's original Great Western title of "the Cornish Riviera Limited", is one of the most prestigeous of modern British trains. The train has run regularly between London Paddington and Penzance since 1904, and is famed amongst railway historians for its record-breaking long-distance runs and the slip coaches which used to be detached at speed en route to provide through connections to various seaside resorts. In this simulation, you are given the opportunity of driving one of the Inter-City 125 HST formations of the present day Riviera, or a Class 50 or 47 diesel on a Summertime loco-hauled relief; in each case driving between Paddington and Exeter before being relieved by a new crew for the remainder of the journey westwards. The objective is to run your train to time, and despite the power of the modern locomotives you will find that this is no mean feat over the 173 mile route. The simulation is presented as a two part display on the screen: the upper section giving information a driver would have from visual observations and his background knowledge of the route, and the lower section being a monitor of the locomotive controls and performance.
