I'm playing the Exeter 4-day September 2014 v.1 timetable and enjoying it immensely. Just as a matter of interest, why are some Down trains routed via Newton Abbot platform 3 when the logical choice would appear to be platform 2, through which the majority are routed? I presume this happens in real life for some reason? Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate. Log in to reply |

The exit to the station is on platform 3 saves people walking over the bridge.
"Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer Log in to reply The following user said thank you: hotwellian |

Early morning / late night cuts down on number of station staff needed to despatch trains, plus save on electricity as well after dark  If the lifts fail and they have a mobility restricted passenger they would also divert to P3
