North Wales Coast Line (TfW) Enhanced 2024 [Final]

Description
North Wales Coast Line: Crewe - Holyhead Route (TfW) Enhanced 2024 - Final Edition

As of 18 April 2025, this route is now "final", meaning that scenarios can be uploaded for it.

This project is a rework of the 2022 release of the DTG North Wales Coast Line: Crewe - Holyhead Route (TfW) route. It has been achieved using a combination of railway publications, cab view video footage and Google Earth.

The route now features bi-directional signalling between Flint and Rhyl and also Llandudno Juntion and Conwy, up to date track speeds (using the late 2024 sectional appendix) along with updated signals, siding removals / changes and a few track corrections to help you achieve more out of your scenario building.

A selection of Quick Drive scenarios in both directions and from multiple locations are included to get you started with exploring the route updates. I will also be rewriting all original DTG scenarios for the route - these will be uploaded when the route is finalised.


A full list of enhancements is shown below....

1. Updated track speeds along the main line route.
2. Signalling upgrades including bi-directional signalling in the correct areas.
3. New junctions added at Flint, Mostyn and Rhyl (for bi-directional signalling).
4. Holywell Junction removed - siding is out of use and overgrown.
5. Updates to track directions - you can now leave P4 at Chester heading towards Shotton.
6. Missing stop boards added to platforms, new ones added on bi-directional sections.
7. Whistle board changes and level crossing upgrades.
8. Missing foot crossings inserted where locations are known.
9. Track marker additions (no originals of these have been removed).
10. Track and platform alterations at Rhyl for bi-directional signalling.
11. Removal of redundant sidings at Abergele and Pensarn.
12. Additional bi-directional signalling from Llandudno Junction to Conwy - Up line only.
13. Minor signalling alterations between Bangor and Holyhead.
14. Vegetation added to out of use sidings in various locations.
15. Additional portals added along the whole route length.

As an additional bonus, using more cab view footage, the line from Llandudno Junction to Llandudno has also been overhauled with corrected speed zones, updated signalling, full barrier level crossings and corrected milepost locations.

A second bonus to the route has now been added - the line from Crewe to Nantwich. Enjoy!

Whilst I have attempted to replicate signals to match what they are in the real world, it has not been possible to do this 100% in the sim because they simply don't exist as a possible signal to use in the route builder.

Any spoilers on what that is? Or what part of New York it covers? :steamhappy:

Cyclone - thanks! There may be room for a v2 in the future but for now I'll be working on my nearly 200 mile long U.S project due for release in late 2025.

Congratulations on another excellent Workshop addition, and one that will hopefully get more ongoing attention than the no longer obtainable Peninsula Corridor routes. I still have to play that one and will when I start streaming at some point someday, but for now I would love to see stuff for this one. :steamhappy:

The merge I mention is Danny's merge of South Wales Coastal and the Welsh Marches. As a result, one can go from Bristol all the way to Shrewsbury, but any diagrams heading north to the NWC remain incomplete because neither DTG nor any third party ever went north of there.

North of Wrexham would be boring, it's an exclusive back and forth route. I would not spend time on that. I think its terminus is Bidston, one of the stations on that route. Too bad it's so boring, we would have the older trains in TSC there now.

The stretch from Shrewsbury to Crewe and Chester is likely enough to be a route on its own if there is enough traffic, but is the missing link in virtually all long passenger diagrams. Missing Link (ATS sub only) picks up from Crewe for Liverpool runs. NWC picks up to Holyhead. TSW will have the Manchester Airport segment. Maybe TSC someday.

I have had a look at the route and considered it, but as of yet unsure. All I've done so far is update the track speeds and do minor scenery adjustments on the stub tracks that would head off elsewhere.

I have considered north to Helsby as an extension as its pretty straightforward. If I did choose to go south it would probably be to Wrexham only.

What is the merge that you mention? I haven't seen it.
Cyclone 18 Jan @ 4:44pm 
I'm going to presume you have no plans to try heading down to Shrewsbury via Wrexham General or do any other types of extensions with this route, and that only NWC itself will be updated. Is this a correct presumption? I only ask because I know diagrams exist going from south (where we have a merge already) to north, and that is the missing gap.

In a few locations they are yes. Not all though.

Thank you for sharing this interesting enhancement. Does it mean that the semaphores are repalced by modern signalling?
