    Because I encountered it again just now, wanted to mention the still bugged distant signal at Boppard. I know it's not a timetable issue but rather a route issue, but wanted to bring it to attention again anyway.

    Situation:
    Approachin Boppard from the north, heading to platform 3.
    Distant signal shows "expect slow", one green and one amber.
    Entrance signal shows "slow" and a white "3" for 30 km/h limit. Thus, the 500Hz magnet is hot. If you don't expect that and slow down only to about 80 km/h, you'll get zwangsbremsed. :|
    This can be repeated on any services which goes from Koblenz to Boppard and uses platform 3 there, on both timetables.

    The speed restriction is valid, because the entrance switches for platform 3 are 40 km/h max only. But the restriction should be announced beforehand.

    Easy solution:
    Have the distant signal display an amber "3" in the box it already has, signalling "expect 30 km/h".

    This may very well be true to real life, though. I am not familiar with the real situation in Boppard, but you will often find no Zs3v on the distant signal and it comes down to route knowledge, especially within a station and especially if a Hp2 always means the same thing.

    In Boppard I am not sure if the 30 (in real life) has to do with the switches or with the short entry, as I believe you can actually place two trains on platform 3.

    EDIT: I think I remember now what you mean... I believe there is a Zs3v installed at the distant signal, right? In this case I agree with you, of course, it is a bug...

    Fair point, makes sense :)

    Yes, there is one, but it's dark.


    Edit: Almost forgot something else.
    Another minor thing, but...
    Service 7529 (with the n-Wagen cab car) from Koblenz to Worms, the one with the two additional Umbauwagen at the rear. It's set to use the siding at Werlau, between Hirzenach and St. Goar, for no apparent reason. I didn't have to stop and be overtaken by something faster, could travel straight through it. This lead to a long stretch of 60 km/h max speed, and caused a significant delay.

    Another edit:
    The same service also runs into a huge traffic jam when approaching Mainz-Mombach. There are 7-8 other trains waiting to enter Mainz. Deleting E3719 in Mainz Hbf seems to break the tie.

    Well they said they won't release another patch before TSW6 comes out, but since that's just weeks away and, I seem to recall, they said they'd put patched versions of legacy DLC online for their TSW6 version, we might only have to wait a few more weeks to see what's been fixed by now. I'm still hung up on the blinds situation on the E94 088 which didn't get properly fixed in the last patch.

    If the Vorsignal reads Vr 2 "expect slow," without a Zs 3v, then the driver should be slowing down to 40 by the Hauptsignal anyway, and I doubt the 500 Hz speed trap will pop at 40.
