Hello, I have quite some suggestions for Train Sim World, so I figured it would be better to make them in one single place. 1. Duisburg - Düsseldorf - Köln (Hauptstrecke Köln - Deutz - Duisburg) One of my first, and in my opinion best, suggestions is the in NordRhein-Westfalen located route from Duisburg Hbf running to Köln (otherwise known as Cologne) via Düsseldorf Hbf. This route is 64km long, has a main line and an S-Bahn line running along it. The S-Bahn line speed is capped at 120km/h, the main line 160km/h with some sections being 200km/h. A lot of different routes come together here, from S-Bahn, RB and RE to IC, ICE and even Eurostar or Flixtrain services. This would make for a fun, long, interesting and beautiful route overall, with route hopping possibilities at Köln Hbf (Köln - Aachen) and Duisburg Hbf (Duisburg - Bochum). The trains I would love to see would be the ICE 3 Neo (BR408) or the ICE 3 Velcro D (BR407) with the RheinRuhrExpress 462 Desiro HC series. 2. Köln - Frankfurt am Main (Schnellfahrstrecke Rhein-Main) My second suggestion for TSW would be the high speed line from Köln Hbf/Cologne to Frankfurt am Main Hbf via Siegburg/Bonn, Limburg Süd and Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Fernbahnhof. This high speed line is capped at 300km/h, of course equipped with LZB. Mostly ICE’s run here, only 3rd and 4th generations of ICE trains (ICE 3/ICE 3 Neo and ICE 4) are allowed on here because of the steep rise and declines, up to 4%. The route is 180km long and travel times conclude just over one hour. Route hop possibilities are at Köln Hbf (see the first suggestion), Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Fernbahnhof (the upcoming S-Bahn Rhein-Main route) and Frankfurt am Main Hbf (S-Bahn Rhein-Main and Frankfurt-Fulda). The rolling stock would include the ICE 3 Neo/Velaro D (BR408/407) and the ICE 4 (BR412) series. 3. Leipzig - Riesa (-Dresden) My 3rd and for now last suggestion would be an extension of the railway Dresden - Riesa, which already exists. The part from Riesa to Leipzig Hbf would be added, adding 65km to the now total length of 116km. I think this would be a lot more fun to drive, with RB, RE, IC and ICE services driving every few hours or less from Dresden to Leipzig and vice versa. This would make for a pretty nice, long and interesting route, which already exists in Train Simulator Classic 2024. Rolling stock would be nothing new, as the BR101, BR442 (Talent), Dosto’s and the ICE-T (which usually drives there) already exist.
For me these are the German routes I suggested Oldenburg-Groningen 129km the missing link to ZGR and BRO routes if made OGR Duisburg-Utrecht via Arnhem 159 km Riesa Chemnitz Heidelberg Appenweier Strasbourg. Oddly it's a suggestion of mine that appeared in TSC
My biggest hope next to Schnellfahrstrecke Rhein Main would definitely be my homeroute the Eifelstrecke, a diesel Mainline from Cologne to Trier. This route would give a lot of potential for both modern stocks like the Br620/622 at around 2015-2025 or even older stocks like the Br218 with N Wagen, Br628.4 and Br644
I would like Hamburg-Hanover which was in TSC. This route has ICE, Regional, and many freight trains. Two things that also appear on this route, the Port of Hamburg(not in TSC) and the massive Maschen freight yard. If you don't want to do highspeed trains, you could spend your day switching cars around the freight yards and the Port of Hamburg.
I actually made threads for a couple of route suggestions already, so here are the links, in descending order of how much I wanna get it 1. Staudenbahn (Gessertshausen - Türkheim) 2. Hohenzollernbahn (Tübingen - Sigmaringen) 3. Route addon: Rosenheim - Salzburg branch lines And one which I didn't suggest myself but strongly support: 4. Vogelfluglinie (Lübeck - Puttgarden)
I would suggest the Rheintalbahn from Karlsruhe to Basel around 200km. It’s a very busy and nice Route, with a lot of new trains. But i think the S Bahn Berlin ringline should also come to TSW with the br 483/484 because we still dont have Berlin in TSW and the ringline Shows us more of Berlin. And is also Use frequently.
