This one is exciting! It’s a shame nothing CP, but it’ll be a beautiful departure out of Lisbon. I wonder if this was the first choice of the developer, or whether they struggled acquiring a CP license, so settled with Fertagus? What are your thoughts?
A Portuguese route is definitely a surprise, but a nice one at that, so I'm excited for this overall.
I turned off the stream before this was announced but will be keeping an eye on it. Let's just hope it doesn't turn into another endless wait like Tadami.
VirtuaVia360 website shows screenshots from what could be the route in TSW, but I'm not sure. http://www.vscala.pt/

Worth reiterating my comment from the thread on the other new country coming to TSW: Tadami Line will give us an indication as to whether the rather endless wait for these types of projects is worth it.
I don't know what to expect but this could potentially be epic. I'd love a change of scenery and Portugal could certainly offer something different from the usual stuff. I'm keeping an eye out for this route.
LOVE. I looked at the catenary and was like "Yes. It's Portugal" (why does it say "LOVE!"? is it anti swear?)
To be fair, we won't know how far along in the development the route is. DTG could have announced in early on and it will be another 1-2 years before we see it finished, or they could already be in the final stretch and it's 3-6 months. We just don't know. Tadami is a massively ambitious route that was always going to take a lot of time and it was presumably announced still fairly early in development.
