    The same issue is occurring on PC.
    Passengers cannot exit or enter via the BR442 passenger doors.
    This problem occurs regardless of location or train.

    PC (Steam)
    Service: ICE 1555 Frankfurt to Desden
    Approximate in-game time 1105
    Timetable mode
    DB BR 411

    Service was going fine until just after Riesa. Basically, every signal east of the junction that comes off Roderau is red. A look at the map shows the whole line is stopped east of Riesa. Been waiting for over 20 minutes and tried the "contact signaler" command. Not sure if this is a problem with the random events or the BR 101 timetable lock-up thats been mentioned on another thread.

    There is a mod on the train sim community website that fixes the lockup

    That’s because a lot more trains will be added once the full game unlocks. Be patient

    Hi, I like this route very much. But what surprised me is signalling when entering Liepzig. My speed was 150 when I saw presignal with 80. I started braking fully, but next signal was too close and I did not make it.

    The BR101 doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. I play on Series X and don't have access to the BR101 yet, but I still have the same problem.

    Not sure if this is intentional or not, but there are several issues with conductor mode on the BR 442:
    • There is no option to signal the driver to depart, the driver just closes the doors and drives off without waiting
    • You can't enter or leave the train through the passenger doors, there seems to be an invisible wall blocking them even when the train is stopped
    • I haven't yet seen any passengers get on, so there are no tickets to check

    Other stuff:
    • I think it would be nice to get conductor mode on the ICE-T, even if there aren't many stops
    • Why does Leipzig – Dresden come with separate versions of the BR 143 and BR 363, when they are included with Dresden – Riesa and don't appear to have TSW 6 features like faults?
    • This turntable at Leipzig-Engelsdorf is bugged, there is track clipping through it IMG_2025.09.28-21.30.29.jpg Screenshot 2025-09-28 213045 (Large).png

    Can only choose between the 442 and the 294 in timetable mode. Route is empty.

    What a disappointment.

    It would also be really nice to have some updated 766.2 running sounds. They are really quite at high speed. Of course I wouldn’t expect any traction motors but right now it doesn’t feel and hear like you are running 160 km/h.

    The one thing I hate about Dosto 766 driving. They really ought to use the sounds from the N stock cab car or the US ones for a more tactile experience.

    Doesn’t seem to be any traffic at all from Liepzig all the way to the old map.

    While driving a DB 143 service, I noticed that the volume of the announcements in the cabin is much louder than, for example, on the ICE-T. Does anyone else experience this?

    I think they are louder in the BR 143 because this Locomotive is generally louder than all the others on this Route.

    I don't think the Dresden-Leipzig route deserves to be called a new route.

    The route from Dresden to Riesa has not been touched at all.
    Everything has been left as it was before, so one would have expected the old section of the route to have been revised as well.

    Even the errors from the old route have been carried over 1:1 to the new route.
    Sorry DTG, but I think that's just lazy work.

    And please, where have you hidden all the train traffic?

    I play on PC and Steam.

    Did a Conductor mode in the BR442, which apparently has doors that require no action from the Conductor. And apparently this particular service also had no tickets to validate either. So I spent 24 minutes just sitting in a chair doing nothing at all.

    Edit: Rejected valid tickets is appearing on the same train for stations not listed under today’s journey. Except for Cottbus where train is going but is off map.

    Hi folks!

    Found this little white cube up in the air at the railyard Leipzig Engelsdorf. Besides this, I think the building in the background, connected by tracks, looks oddly bright compared to other assets around it.

    dunno if this is correct LZB behavior, but usually once you get onto the wire and see LZB, the system picks up... on this route, on both ends, it takes a good like 600 - 800 m (cant say exactly how much) for the LZB to turn on

    and then, no idea if this is a bug or my bad driving, but when doing a BR 442 service from Dresden to Coswig, upon taking off from Friedrichstadt, I upped the power as usual, maybe a bit more, and shortly after the station, going like 30 kph or so, I got "Service failure: Vehicle derailed"... restarted the service, and now it didnt occur, and just for the hell of it, I tried powering out of stations even harder... any idea what caused this? in some other thread I have read that it could have been cos the game detected one of the bogies losing contact with the track... but no idea, this happened to me for the first time

    also sth I noticed - with single 442, usually like 15-20% throttle is enough to release the brakes and get moving, with 2x sometimes I have to go to like 30-40% before it starts moving slowly and then it takes a second to release the brakes... dunno if this was intended or not, maybe it is more realistic? ... I am just wondering cos before I could release the brakes and get moving without screeching, here I cant do it for some reason

    RB31 (18330) service from Dresden at 1706 gives a SPAD as soon as you spawn. In both the 442 and Dostos.

    Xbox Series X.

    I’m sure this has been reported but voicing incase it hasn’t. In the LZB section, the 101 doesn’t give full potential score with all safety systems on.

    Some more bugs with the BR 442:
    - The FIS is broken, the up and down arrows on the FIS screen no longer work. Even if you couple a version with a working FIS like the DRA version and set it on that, it doesn't update the FIS on the Dresden Leipzig version

    - The instrument lights dimmer no longer works

    Exactly like in the preview stream. Great that this hasn't been addressed. Hearing from route blockages in Dresden from other players. Obviously this route hasn't seen any testing (apart from the early access beta testers of course)

    Plus DTG have maintained radio silence on all the issues raised by the £58 public beta testers.

    I’m honestly at the end of my rope with this route. I’ve run it about ten times now and every single one has ended the same way, everything completely gridlocked at either Dresden or Leipzig. It’s always some IC stuck at a green signal and the whole timetable completely collapses around it.

    Earlier today I spent over an hour and a half on RE 16510 from Dresden to Leipzig in the Talent 2. I’d racked up more than 25,000 AP, made stop after stop, and thought I was finally going to have a clean run. Then as I got close to Leipzig, I spotted a yellow aspect ahead. I was doing 160 km/h, slammed into max brake, acknowledged PZB, and barely ten seconds later I was staring at a red signal right in front of me. There was no chance to stop in time. The emergency brakes applied, and I still ended up with a SPAD... I quickly saved so I could load back in and open the map and see what it was, and sure enough, everything was stuck at Leipzig. All that time and effort completely wasted. The fact this route was released in this condition is just unacceptable. I want to like it so badly, but right now I can’t even bring myself to load it up again until it’s patched. Considering the price they're asking at launch and with no new stock (minus the deluxe), it’s truly is nothing short of disappointing.

    The best advice I can give, for now, is to just disable the IC layer for the time being. If there is no patch today, I'll be here with a bucket of popcorn watching all the console reports come in when they get their layers.

    Add one more complaint about the 101. I took a morning service Leipzig-Dresden direction, the 8:xx one, which was a nice but weird run until its sad demise.

    From the start my train is stuck behind a freight train going 100 on the 200 km/h section, yet its never looped and ends up making the IC service stop at a red before Riesa still on the LZB section. Not sure if its prototypical for this section or not, lets take that as is.

    Arrival in Riesa is approx 3 minutes late due to waiting at the red and getting up to speed again. Followed by an uneventful run from Riesa to Dresden Neustadt.

    This is where it all goes wrong. When arriving into Neustadt I noticed some parallel running with a Talent 2, doing some kind of RB service. It ends up leaving sooner than the IC. Upon leaving the IC has priority, with the RB held at a red. A nice detail I thought. Then when arriving the last signal before the platform in HBf. the signal is red for the IC. Platform is empty and the player train is approximately on time. Dispatcher gives no path into the station on request.

    I looked into options that could block, like a freight service about to start, there is none, services to cross the track, there was none. I even deleted all trains in the HBf. and the signal would still not clear.

    I all ended by having to quit 300m from the end. A pretty disappointing experience, certainly this route got the worst of this years release, even though the german content used to be solid.

    I tried one of the first add-ons... namely the RP Vectron and BR101, EC259 Leipzig - Prague, driven by the Vectron RP, unfortunately the train's interior lighting and taillights don't work, or I can't turn them on.
    Given the fact that it's an early morning train, it will be uncomfortable.

    AI trains EC/IC (IC coach Add-on BR101) have the interior lights off, I was watching the traffic in Dresden, I picked a few random trains and all the lights were off. The only case I found was in Leipzig, the last train from Leipzig, I think around 21:20, it had the interior lights on ...... really strange
