    TrainSim I have no idea how on earth you guys got the number of the stations wrong but from Lisboa Campolide to Setúbal by Fertagus (train) is ONLY 12 STATIONS. Not 14. 12. Those are

    Lisboa Campolide

    Sete Rios

    Campolide

    Pragal

    Corroios

    Foros de Amora

    Fogueteiro

    Coina

    Penalva

    Pinhal Novo

    Venda do Alcaide

    Palmela

    Setúbal (terminu station)

    And if you count those. It's 12 in total. Not 14. Please correct that. As a Portuguese it offends me how you got that wrong and the name of the EMU is called Fertagus. Not 3500 EMU. Please please please please please correct it. Please. Thank you.

    Well, I don't think they've made up 2 not excisting stations, so either they just wrote down a wrong number or somehow you're wrong. I count already 13 stations on your list and not 12.......

    Hi marcuse#1240
    `
    Actually, you are quite wrong.

    Let me point out the stations as a fellow Portuguese and one of the devs for the line:

    - Lisboa Roma-Areeiro
    - Lisboa Entrecampos
    - Lisboa Sete-Rios
    - Lisboa Campolide-A
    - Pragal
    - Corroios
    - Foros de Amora
    - Fogueteiro
    - Coina
    - Penalva
    - Pinhal Novo
    - Venda do Alcaide
    - Palmela
    - Setúbal

    These are 14 stations in total. Being Lisbon Roma-Areeiro the start/terminus, and Setúbal, the start/terminus.

    As for the 3500. The EMU name is correct. In English, we don't have the UQE naming, so the Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU) is used in this case. The units are rented to Fertagus, and therefore, they are EMU3500 (UQE3500 in Portugal). They are not Fertagus 3500.

    Hope this helps.

    I just want to give a HUGE thank you.

    Im now back from Lisbon and explored this route. Before I left, I printed your post and used it to navigate the route.

    Ive got so many pictures of the stations and cannot wait for the route to be released.

    Thank you

    Yeah this one’s looking good. I love the big bridge on this route too. I watched a cab ride on YouTube where it went across the bridge. Looked nice. Can’t wait to see what it’s like in TSW. :)

    Going across that bridge was incredible. Obviously I couldnt step outside to take a picture while on the bridge. But i got some corking shots from the hill at Cristo Re.
    Utterly incredible view.

    I did love travelling on this route and the recent update really shows off their attention to detail.

    There are only two concerns:
    The route and stations are covered in dust and rust. The weather and years have not been kind to them. Im hoping this is captured in the game.
    on an evening as it gets dark the crickets and insects are magnificent. I really hope they have captured that in the game.
    I decide to record them with my own foley recorder too.

    Pic of Lisboa Entrecampos station.

    Incredible photo you took there !!. That’s beautiful. Love it. It’s designed very similar to the Forth Road Bridge here in Scotland but has an extra bit underneath the road for trains which is so cool.

    Portugal surprised me, everyone I know who has been there said lovely things, but I genuinely didn't expect it to be so chilled, so beautiful and so friendly. And I've only been to Lisbon, I can't wait to go back for a long holiday somewhere quiet.

    For the above reasons I'll buy this on day one. My interest in the railway side of things is fairly minimal, but the opportunity to be able to be around a place I love even if it's only in a simulator is a strong pull. It's pure escapism. This is why I'd love Corsica, East Anglia, Paris, Berlin and rural France in the game. My safe places that I escape to in real life, I find them relaxing even in train simulator.

    When you come back I definitely recommend going to Porto, and if you got time ride on the Douro Line. ;)[​IMG]

    I love that idea, thank you. Start with a couple of nights enjoying Lisbon again then head up the coast on the train to Porto for a couple of relaxing weeks, it looks like an amazing trip.

    Lovely. Iberian track gauge (1 668 mm). Larger trains, very comfortable. I just wonder how Free Roam will work there. (I guess not).

    Porto isn't the best spot for relaxing. Portugal is the country of many hidden gems. If you seek "inner peace", go for the countryside or - if you like blue ocean - the Algarve (just NOT at holiday season!).

    Search for the river beaches at Arganil region. And that's just one example...

    I cannot wait to go back. As said, the people are so laid back and friendly.

    The Transport is so integrated, like no other city I've been to.

    I travelled by:
    Plane
    Train (lots)
    Trams
    Bus
    Uber
    Boat
    And got to play in a real submarine too!


    Outside of Lisbon there are so many other places to fall in love with. Evora melted my heart. Not much trains there other than freight but the town was wonderful and I can see why it won City Of Culture for 2027.

    I also was fascinated with the transport around Pragel to Cacilhas.

    (pic of somewhere in Evora) img_20260504_110131.jpg

    But Evoa really captured me especially the Capela doc Ossos, the bone chapel. Perfect for goth boy me.

    This is my September trip to Portugal and yes Im planning on leaving the better half shopping in Lisbon and taking a run down to Sebtual. All trips will be by train and the Duoro Valley is included.
