Scenarios combining passenger transport and shunting operations in the same service. --- Marketing assets Appreciation for an emblematic french region, yet unexplored in TSW. Draw a huge french-speaking community waiting for new local french content. Offer a balanced experience between freight, passengers and technical operations. --- Thanks for taking into consideration this suggestion ! I am convinced that this line would bring a lot of diversity and authenticity to Train Sim World 5 Translation by Jaune --- *TER stands for Train Express Régional or Regional Express Train. This service is operated by the french national railway company (SNCF) while the rolling stock is owned by the region it is used in. Each region has indeed it’s own transportation authority. TER trains usually operate within the borders of each region thus the name regional. There are used by more than 1 Million passengers per day country wide. --- Notes : As a french person myself, I really want to see more french content coming to TSW. I found the suggestion of the Nancy-Metz line by Fidele_au_M#3539 to be as detailed as it is interesting. That’s why I wanted to support this suggestion by translating it into English. I tried to be as faithful as possible to his post. I also added images to be more visually appealing. I apologize for any grammatical and/or technical mistakes. Cheers I would also suggest including the Alstom Coradia Regiolis in the Rolling stock as they are used country wide and thus could be reused in future french expansions and as AI Trains for the existing Marseille – St-Charles route for example. For the Grand-Est region, they are known as B 85000, B 84500 and B 83500.
I'd love to see another French route. I remember going to Metz years ago when I was making a trip to Luxembourg. However, every time France gets mentioned, someone pops up and says there is no license for SNCF any more, which if true, means we'll not see any French routes for a while.
Sorry to get involved here, but this page is an only-english website, why should we use translators when the creator of the thread could do it too?
