Well the UK one is plausible but the other two complete fantasy. And as we know from last year, posting anything that might or might not be part of content still under NDA will go down like a lead balloon with the moderators and DTG personnel on here.
Well, I wouldn't be surprised by any Eastern region UK route but Im calling ‘BS’ on the original post tbh.
Hope the UK one is not true. I really am praying it's SWR instead and they'll include the 455s as they won't be around for much longer.
I heard we are getting the Bhanupli-Leh line. That way the passengers won't look out of place when they are places they shouldn't be.
Absolute fantasy. No chance will Dovetail go for anything other than Germany/UK/North America for the core, especially given those countries aren't in game yet.
It's fake news. New routes are not allowed and all people involved have signed non-disclosure agreements.
Still close enough to their German experts. Scandinavia and wherever the other rumoured locations are not likely to be a serious contender. As much as I would like to see a Swedish or Norwegian route in TSW, neither country has received a payware release in any other sim.
Yes, it’s a speculation post or wishlist. Tczew so far as I can see is somewhere in Poland and I seriously doubt DTG want to venture into SimRail territory even if the latter’s PKP licence is not exclusive. And so far as the UK is concerned the odds on favourite best guess, is something west of Paddington to use the newly restored GWR and possibly TfW licences.
I would hazard a guess at the RH&DR for the UK route but it's probably a bit on the long side for the recent trend of routes. Plus it's steam, yeah scratch that.
I personally think that the new Japanese route will be added for TSW6 maybe or maybe not speculation at best.
We already got NL as a new country which took them quite much effort to do. 2 complete new countrys with sweden and poland would be a crazy amount of work. As long as this user doesnt have any evidence, this statement is as worth as the entire Tsw6 route speculation thread.
What is with metro Moscow.On youtube is short teaser with Eurostar,Moscow Metro.I mean is not fake.90 year ago is first moscow metro line open.i dont know only what german und US route is.you schould on youtube write TSW6.
Subtle reminder that Ilawa-Tczew would require making ETCS L2 implementation and I kinda doubt DTG would do that alongside another new country. Or as part of a new country in general. Also from a quick look at things, the EU47 is only operated by Koleje Mazowieckie, which doesn't run on the line mentioned so I would say that at least the polish part is BS.
Definitely trolling. He’s just quoting what “he” wants to see in TSW6. We’ll know soon enough though, the dreaded TSW6 reveal isn’t far away now.
True, but Austria is quite similar to Germany, unlike (what I assume is) Poland and Sweden. Anyone who can drive a German train can get on with the Austrian ones, same as US/Canada.
100%. The UK route is always in some way iconic, normally high speed at least in part, though TSW2 did have the Bakerloo line as a bit of an experiment. LTS wouldn’t meet the bar - it’s a sometimes speedy bus route. It would come as a normal add-on like Suffragette or Manchester Airport. DTG said they had the GWR licence back, and they didn’t get it just to make the GWE Remaster better. Licensing takes effort. They need a return on investment there. We’re going to get something either in the Bristol/Newport/Cardiff area, or heading into Devon, but given the normal ‘high speed’ feature of a bundle route, it’d have to be somewhere where the IET can stretch its legs up to at least 100mph IMO.
Swindon to Bristol TM via both Box and Badminton. Would tick quite a few LAMPOIL boxes… Fast running but not so long it gets tedious. Wootton Bassett Stone Terminal Freightliner at Stoke Gifford. The historic city of Bath. Box Tunnel. Chipping Sodbury Tunnel. The Hitachi Depot at Stoke Gifford. The moderately steep climb of Filton Bank. Several service groups to cover and if you sneaked the Severn Beach branch in there a bit of local bus stop work. Apart from the GWR IET’s which would essentially be a rework of the Azuma, most of the required stock is already in game. Class 150/2 can be retasked from the existing TfW one and ditto the 153. Class 158 bought in from SHG and given a GWR makeover. Class 166 with maybe a bit of a buff from GWE, though could use a Class 165 as well. Castle Class aka sawn off HST formation. About the only thing missing would be a representation of Cross Country but that’s only going to be from Westerleigh Jn to Temple Meads. Are we getting warm, DTG Matt ??
I think that is unlikely. For third-party developers, it’s not attractive to be integrated into the base game. The selling price of a new version of the game is, in comparison, not what you can earn through individual sales. The base game sales are a completely different ratio in terms of offerings and the revenue made from them. It’s not favorable for DTG nor for the third-party developers.
Exeter to Plymouth plus the Paignton branch surely? Throw in a bit of Exeter Central and the steam line down to Kingswear and you have every base covered. Plenty of great scenery and seaside too. That's £50 from me day 1.
Yeah just nonsense. It mentions the Vectron as part of the deluxe edition which has been part of the game since TSW4.
Oh Vern, you’ve built up my anticipation for this route knowing full well Rivet are going to deliver a mess - you tease
I hope for the North American route, we get an Amtrak P42DC or something along the lines of Metro North while we got Metrolink shortly followed by MBTA Commuter for TSW5, I think it's possible we see a similar pattern for TSW6, where we get 2 US Routes, one on the west coast and the other on the East Coast. Definitely interested in seeing what we get for Europe and Germany. After playing the S1, S8, and S9 line recently followed by the Manchester airport commuter route, I am really like the new levels of detail and immersion in the latest set of TSW routes. TSW is getting better and better
A new Dutch route wouldn’t be unlikely either. We saw that Austria first came out as DLC, and later it was also added in the newer version of TSW. The Semmeringbahn was part of TSW4 if i'm right. Edit It was the Vorarlbergline as part of TSW4
If you look at the old German maps of the 1930s for that area you would see this name Dirschau (Tczew)
OldVern that section... Maybe Bristol-Cardiff or Cardiff-Swansea, if you want a great GWR/TfW experience! My predictions: - UK) LTS network, Chiltern, TPE or South/North Wales Mainlines. - DE/AT) Something involving Berlin, München-Rosenheim or Unterinntalbahn(Innsbruck-Kufstein+Rosenheim). - US (if confirmed) Alaska or others 2nd Class railways (plz, no more commuter routes...). Maybe something Dutch?
Imagine if the forthcoming GWR will be included among the TSW6 launch routes? I now find myself contemplating whether the prolonged release time indicates that it will feature a semi-extension with new rolling stock. They have previously implemented this with SEHS in TSW3. It would be quite poetic, considering that GWR was one of DTG's initial launch routes.
DTG has stated several times on stream that Berlin is too complex and all routes out of Berlin have no logical ending points for over 100 miles (Hannover, Hamburg, Leipzig, Halle etc.) They would also have to build a massive amount of assets for the Berlin S-bahn system and create a whole new train etc... TSC has a third party developer that has done big chunks of Berlin in excellent quality. Who has a desire for Berlin, should pick up TSC and the Berlin DLC´s in summer sale.
He is a Swede as I am and all I can say is that he is mental... He genuinely seem to think his opinions are factual and that everyone who doesn't share them is a "hater". Half his content is him reporting other people on YouTube and their comments if they don't share his personal opinions, while calling them hateful things, ridiculous...
Much as I would fundamentally love seeing c2c/LTS on TSW (and TSC ) as I work for them, can't see it happening in time for TSW6 launch
Oh no, so no Malmö-Hässleholm for me? What a shame, as I'm living right next to the tracks in Arlöv (almost like Kal P Dal) BTW I can remember these speculations before TSW2 was announced, also involved Malmö. But I don't think DTG will ever touch Scandinavia.
Nah, we're getting modern overhead electric UK line, modern overhead electric German line and some line in California from LA Union Station. EDIT: Or Netherlands route instead of the US, since that continent seems dead.
I want the Inlandsbanan @1982. One train a day in each direction over the full length with a couple of shorter journeys (Seem to remember a 1650 from Gallivare to Arvidsjaur). Or one of the link lines from Arvidsjaur , Storuman or Hoting to the main Bothnian route which I was also lucky to travel across when I visited the area.
I doubt it. Zwolle - Groningen was a test to see if it'd sell enough. It seems it did, but I doubt that gave DTG time enough to fully develop another Dutch route before TSW6 release after Zwolle - Groningen's results were in.
I’m going for MBTA Boston North to Rockport and Newbury Port as the new US line. The HSP46 was a teaser to whet our appetites and will be bundled with the new route, along with the existing MBTA contents.
I kinda like HSP46, tho I still havent unlocked the secret of notches 7+8 (and why tractive effort and such go into 2x once you go from notch 6 to 7 and 8) - the farthest I/we got was some table with certain performance figures which shows some parameters go into double the figures with those notches... but no clear answer was ever reached, and I am still curious... cos most other US diesels have pretty linear power delivery progression between notches
I mean, yeah, it is not like we dont have ....load of content to play to fill the time before new content comes in
I really hope it is the c2c / LTS but been burnt before getting my hopes up, like with the build up to the Thomas the Tank engine reveal last December. That caused me to ban myself from the forums for 6 months! I still have my charity donation waiting if it is LTS though.
Do we really need this thread to become another 'TSW6 routes speculation' thread, when we've already got a 5-page thread on that? The original question has been answered, it's a wishlist.
It could be but I just calculated how many months were between the two Austrian routes. Austria was also new in TSW4, with the Vorarlbergbahn being part of the release of TSW4 in September 2023. The Semmeringbahn followed in April 2024. That’s about the same time span as Zwolle–Groningen and a possible TSW6 would be. So your point isn’t one I’d immediately dismiss by saying, ‘No, there’s no chance that could happen. But we will whats happening
