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.
I think i'm looking forward to this one more than Tadami now since that route seems to never want to release
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.
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) But Evoa really captured me especially the Capela doc Ossos, the bone chapel. Perfect for goth boy me.
Just realised... I think I may be the FIRST youtuber to give a proper shout out to the new Lisbon- Setubal line, because I just came back from there from my holiday. Im so excited I just had to give it a mention.
Cab ride from Lisbon to the south. It's not the 3500 EMU, but in this video you can see 70% of the upcoming route, from Lisbon (at 9min it's Roma-Areeiro, start of the Fertagus line), to Pinhal Novo (at 45min).
This is the highly anticipated first route set in Portugal. I'm curious to see if we can expect scenery assets that truly capture the Portuguese atmosphere.
As stated before, we're doing our best to deliver a product with quality and that we're proud of. We all have full-time jobs outside our work on the DLC, so we usually come home from our jobs and work on the DLC at the time we are able to. Despite all the challenges that we faced and still face, every day that goes by, the DLC comes near to its release.
Take you're time! I'm very curious to this project and it's nice to have new countries in the game. Better you take a bit longer then rushing everything.
To be honest I hope we get the Renfe Class 334. I know it does not operate in Portugal but I think it would be cool as it is very closely related to the Class 67. Hopefully with a good Spanish route.
The 333 is more numerous and looks more like the 67 (except it's a Co-Co). Unretouched(!) photo in the heat of Salamanca.
In Portugal, Medway and Captrain (previously Takargo) operate a more recent version of the Renfe Class 334 (Euro 3000), the Class 335 (Euro 4000).
Oh I'm liking the look of this. Bit afraid of it only featuring a single EMU though. Like I understand, but it's going to feel really empty at the terminuses I believe, just like most early routes with no layering options yet or ever since. Hopefully we get more content from them in the future and the layering can begin. Will definitely give this one a try once it releases.
Fertagus operates 18 UQE 3500's on this line. During rush hours it will be pretty busy, but on the other times it won't be as busy. I think that VirtuaVia360, in order to compensate the fact that only 1 train series is included, decided to give it an expert touch, and from what we have seen so far, they did it perfectly!!! From interactible tablets to working mirrors, the amazing sounds, I really am convinced that the UQE 3500 could be one of the best, if not the best quality train in tsw. Also, even though the route is only 54 Km from Setúbal to Roma-Areeiro in Lisbon, it takes around an hour to complete the journey. Personally, I'm really excited to see how the 25 de Abril bridge crossing will look, with Cristo Rei hugging Lisbon. I guess that they are waiting for a roadmap closer to the release to showcase that.
I tried finding a cab ride video of the route on YouTube but sadly no luck so far. Does anyone know of any?
Sure! You have this recent video that covers most of the route. The camera was attached to the front of a series 5600 locomotive operating an intecity service from Lisboa-Oriente to Faro, which explains why it is skipping most of the stops. The link I will put below will get you on the moment when the train reaches Roma-Areeiro, the Lisbon end of the route, and at minute 45 the train reaches Pinhal-Novo, where it will continue to Faro using another line. Beyond Pinhal-Novo, there are still the following stops: Venda do Alcaide, Palmela and Setúbal. Edit: apparently the link can't get you on the minute where the train reaches Roma-Areeiro. This happens at around minute 8:30
We had no more licenses at this moment to add. Of course in the future it will have layers once we start working on other things that layer on this route. For now, it is only Fertagus with the EMU3500. We kindly ask for that understanding, on why only one train
Oh no issues, I completely understand. One has to start somewhere! And based on the cab ride, most of the traffic seems to be Fertagus 3500s anyway, so it's not like it will feel all dead compared to the real thing. I really like the preview shots so far, and the atmosphere feels nice in the cab ride video. Looking forward to see how the whole thing looks in-game.
So far, we have seen sneak-peeks at the following stations: Setúbal, Palmela, Venda do Alcaide, Pinhal-Novo, Penalva, Coina, Fogueteiro, Foros de Amora, Alvito and Entrecampos. Still no screenshots for Roma-Areeiro, Sete-Rios, Campolide, Pragal and Corroios stations. Genuinely excited to see Pragal and Corroios, since I am more familiar with those stations. I personally think that the players in general will enjoy our railway stations architecture, as they are not simple platforms with ticket machines and benches. They have wavy roofs and many tiles on the walls (which can be spooky, like the Fogueteiro ones )!
Usually you get 5/6 trains on the Lisbon - Evora and Lisbon - Faro routes, and they are really sparse. On the Praias do Sado to Barreiro, that crosses Setubal to Pinhal Novo, you have a lot more trains. In the future and it's the plan, we layer train by train. Thanks for the kind comments, that's why we are here, to do the best justice to the Portuguese trains!
Everything in due time! They will be worth the wait. We can't spoil everything in the beginning correct?
Absolutely! And In my personal opinion that is the best way of doing it, showing the most exciting parts on a date closer to the release (and yes, I'm talking about you, Ponte 25 de Abril )
In the IRL cab ride video posted above I saw a few other sets of 3500s in a red livery. I suppose that's another operator or line or something? If so, is making a red livery for the 3500 as AI traffic where applicable would be possible or in the plans perhaps? Could be a "cheap" way to add some visual variety and more traffic I suppose.
Those trains are operated by Comboios de Portugal, and they usually operate the line between Alcântara Terra and Castanheira do Ribatejo. AFAIK, even though they are UQE 3500's, they have a few differeces to the Fertagus ones in terms of cab layout (for example). They can't couple aswell (only 2 of them can). Here I leave a pic of the CP UQE 3500 cab.
