    Services
    Both X73900 & Stadler Regio Shuttle Do the 34 minutes Strasbourg-Appenweier-Offenburg TER A11 service. High Speed Train Services are carried out by TGV 2N2 Euroduplex & ICE 3 DB 407 from Frankfurt ICE Line 82 Southern Route & Munich ICE Line 83 via Karshule-Appenweier-Strasbourg then LGV Est to Paris from Strasbourg. Regarding the TGV 2N2 Euroduplex it also operates ICE Line 84 the Frankfurt-Manneheim-Karshule-Appenweier-Strasbourg-Mullehouse-Lyon-Avignon-Marsellie route https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intercity-Express_lines_in_Germany#84. For that to work you need to own LGV Méditerranée DLC in order to operate ICE Line 84 Southern Segement. After 13 December 2021 the route will get ÖBB Nightjet service being train 468 Wien Hbf to Paris Est. That will require the ownership or either Riesa-Dresden/ Rhein-Ruhr Osten for BR185.5 then ÖBB routes with Nightjet carriages.

    I agree with you and and this will form a corridor between LGV Mediterranean Line Avignon Marseille with Frankfurt since you can use the TGV Euroduplex the Sifa PZB LZB capable version of TGV Duplex 200 series. That means you can sub the TGV Euroduplex for 200 Duplex if you own that route. Also the Euroduplex can run on Munich Augsburg route since from Paris Est Strasbourg Kehl

    I think it would be better if we extend to Offenburg since the complete regional service is running from Strasbourg gare central to Offenburg which is a 30min run.

    Correct and I did look at the SNCF Ter Grand Est Website it's 34 minutes from End to End. In their website Offenberg is spelled as Offenbourg. Also the MSB BR185 is 25kv 50hz Capable too

    At large, it feels a bit short as presented, but I definitely like this route. Multi-country routes are definitely rare in TSW, and this would be a very good place to start.

    I would advocate including the section between Karlshrue and Offenburg in this route as well. Doing so would enable complete runs for the ICE/TGV services on this route and add in a whole slew of diversity and traffic from that route.

    Sounds good to me and if they did that it will form Frankfurt Manneheim Karlsruhe Appenweier-Strasbourg Corridor. Then my suggestion Northern segment will be isaac47593's Riedbahn https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...07-new-ice-3-and-db-br-446.32765/#post-255080. The German side also gets CFF Rabe 503s FS ETR610 Frankfurt Karlsruhe Basel-Bern-Lötschberg Base Tunnel-Brig-Domdossola-Milan service.

    I'm glad we're in agreement.
    I was thinking the line to Freiburg on the other end, but considering it (Frankfurt-Karlshrue) is a high speed line and the ICE/TGV services run there, you may have the better choice here.
    The ICE-1 does most of the high speed services along this route, though I agree those can definitely come too as layers, especially if routes where they run come around.

    This is a very good suggestion, especially when its extended to Offenburg. But thats Not the right Livery for the route Ortenau-S-Bahn_OSB_509.jpeg
    This is an Ortenau S Bahn Regioshuttle, wich runs in this route either in this livery or the yellow BWegt Livery.

    Thank you for telling me and speaking of the yellow BWegt Livery does it look identical to the original Post. There's another DLC locomotive that can also operate Appenweier-Strasbourg Railway the DB BR181. This video in German language by Train TV shows what the cab looks like

    Yes and there's audio warning that players have when they play German routes that is Zwangsbremsung for PZB & Sifa. SNCF TGV 2N2 Euroduplex X73900 & BB37000 have those installed
