    It would be magnificent to see this route to be added to TSW4 because we need a German high speed route that goes up to 300 Km/h and to have the ICE 4 included aswell

    Personally i dont like only high speed lines. For me Kassel-Wurzbug is not the greatest route in my opinion...

    If it has a high speed line and RE/S-bahn lines (like Munchen-Augsburg) It would be a big yes!

    I disagree, TSW needs more high speed Routes because I find the slower routes boring so that's why there needs to be another German high speed route plus there's too many German RE/S-Bahn lines currently in TSW

    You could say more about the route It has alot to it, but you've explained nothing. The High speed line only runs from Siegburg/Bonn to Frankfurt Airport so for the first 25-30km it's on the normal commuter line. Then from Siegburg/Bonn it gets it's own dedicated high speed line to FRA. I would also extend it to Frankfurt HBF so there is more to do on that end of the route.

    See it's a solid route to suggest, but you've actually got to sell it to people, Not just "I want this because I like this" What makes it unique, why would people like it? Who should people buy it?

    Well said. SFS Köln-Rhein/Main in any possible config (Köln Hbf-Frankfurt Airport or extended to FFM Hbf) is probably the most highly requested German route for TSW. It's amazing anyways that this line has never been implemented in any train simulation at all. If you have it run from Hbf to Hbf the sheer variety in services besides the actual ICE runs over the entire line makes this one of the most sensible packages possible: Regional/S-Bahn services in Köln, parts of the S-Bahn line in Frankfurt (I doubt the Regionalbahnhof at FFM airport would be a sensible addition if the focus is on the highspeed line but you can still drive from Frankfurt Hbf to Stadion). This if done properly is defintely a route that would be worth 40€.
