'Historical' Real Time Trains (etc.)

[CC 72100]

Hello,

Now that I own the full Western Mainlines route (Penzance - Pad) I'm looking at creating some scenarios based on the 'good old days' (100% long distance HST operation).

Is there anyway of accessing real time trains for say a Saturday in August 2016 etc.? Basically it is stuff that I should have captured at the time, but would be the best for me to base off, compared to the current timetable which whilst running on HST Sectional Running Times, is still a little different.

Thanks

I don't believe even by manipulating the Web address you can go that far back on RTT, but if it's any use the DP Simulation website has a sizeable archive of older timetables, here is the GWR page:

Thanks for that, very useful link and will take a look... almost as if its been designed for situations like mine!
