Just in case anyone is interested in this fantastic and free new route by Devon Labuschagne.

The 'South West Branch Line', created by Devon Labuschagne is a route loosely representing the line from Barnstaple to Exeter, better known as the Tarka line.

Painstakingly created in enormous detail, the route runs from the country town of Ashborough through the North Devon countryside to the mainline station of Stornton. It then continues onto to Stornton Central and ends at Redhurst Park. A route map depicting the route can be found in the manual. Requirements for this route have been kept at a minimum, with the vast majority of assets included in the package. However, you will require the European Loco & Asset Pack which is available from Steam. Users who owned the program prior to Train Simulator 2012 will already own this, it is also included with many popular routes such as WCML North & WCML Over Shap along with many others.

Several scenarios are included with the route and all use the above European Loco & Asset pack. Alternative versions of these scenarios are also included, these make use of further payware requirements for authenticity and details of these requirements are listed in the supplied manual.

Many members of the community helped contribute towards this fantastic route and details of these contributions can be found in the user manual.

The route can be downloaded from DPSimulation. http://www.dpsimulation.org.uk/routes.html

Already downloaded Darren & Installed. Shall give the route a try later on, but from the screens it looks brilliant.

[Rookie question] How are routes installed on Train Simulator? [Rookie Question]

Screenshot in the OP looks good indeed, do you have any more floating around?

I've only messed around it for a few minutes so far, but I'm loving it, it looks absolutely gorgeous! Credit to everybody involved.

I'll be sure to donate a few pounds once I get some money in, since your continued hosting is very much appreciated.

A related question at any train driver, how close is that program to the simulators that you use when you're doing your training (apart from not physically operating the switches)?

Train Drivers will reply and say nowhere near, I'm sure.

However, a couple of years ago, ScotRail used a version of it for basic driver training. I imagine this was on a very basic level though.
