The historic Great Western route, linking London to the West Country dates back to the 1800s, and rails were laid between Exeter and Plymouth between 1846 and 1849. Like many other routes of the region, it was built to 7ft broad gauge specifications, although this would only last until 1892, when standard gauge was installed in its place. Then in 1906, a more direct line to London was opened, bypassing Bristol in favour of a path to Taunton.
Following a history of romantic steam, hydraulic diesels and roaring Valentas, the route found itself operated by First Great Western, with a dash of dynamic blue racing through the Devon hills. Just Trains’ Devon Main Line is set around 2013, and features approximately 100 miles of route to discover.
Race along Great Western rails into Taunton, and south into Exeter, where trains then run south through Dawlish along the famed sea wall and onto Newton Abbot. With the Riviera Line continuing south, the South Devon Main Line diverges towards Totnes, and finally Plymouth. Along the way, look out for numerous landmark buildings, and call at 14 authentic stations.
