What Are Your Favorite (or Least Favorite) Tsw Termini And Approaches?

Least favourite - Grand Central Station because it’s painfully slow getting out of there. Its snails pace slow but I must admit the tall New York project blocks right as you come out the tunnel is amazing. It really has that nice New York feel to it. Then there’s the streets and roads below you too. To be fair it makes up for the wait. But it’s still off putting starting from that station and waiting ages to squeeze out of there. However that’s the way it is in reality so not really TSW’s fault haha.

Most Favourite - Carlisle. The approach to Carlisle is just pure beauty. Just Trains did it excellent. The hills getting taller tells you your getting closer to Scotland and I really love that but very sad Just Trains won’t do the Glasgow section which would make it complete. Maybe one day they will change their mind and surprise us who knows.

 

For me, Dresden is my favourite terminus with good scenery. My least favourite is Munich for sure, its very empty because there can only be on train seen at a time. Very dead...

 

It really needs some layers added, doesn't it? Soooo quiet.

 

Stoughton is another good shout. Nice branch line and strange platform layout with the train blocking a road as it sits on the platform.

One of my least favourites is L.A Union. 12mph speed limit?!?! like what the hell. And the quietness of it is just boring. (Why 12 and not 15 or 10. Same with their 79mph rather than 80mph.

The approach into Mannheim is fun with the bridge over the Rhein and then next to the trams.

Of course Atlantic Terminal is horrific.

 

that's too bad. LIRR TT is terrible compare to LIRR2. I get the safety systems being on an issue for some but that's like having BML with only 1/8 of the TT. You get use to the safety system , once you learn them you never go back driving without them. same with the other regions. I actually wished when I first started I knew about them not being on. I had no idea what i was doing wrong. I kept spadding on Germans routes. the reason I didn't know about the safety systems not being on. But I get it you want the option.

 

this one is actually down to US signalling regulations- any railway which operates at 80mph or more requires cab signalling, so it’s much cheaper and easier to just set the line speed at 79

 

Pacific Surfliner does not have the usual cab signaling by the way. But it can do 90.

 

Just stumbled upon this cool thread!

• Some of my favorites — on the Suffragette Line, going up and over the mainline and then continuing on the raised trackbed to Barking Riverside. Pretty unique experience, almost feels like I’m driving a DLR train. The approaches into Salzburg and Lindau are nice as well.
• Not so cool — many of the big US termini (SF, LA, Penn). The speed limits are veeery dreadful, and the stations lack any sort of personality. A saving grace for SF is the nice skyline (considering how long ago the route came out), I reckon.

 

Least favourite is Atlantic Terminal on LIRR. Stuck doing 5mph for soooo long before you get there.

Favourite is toss up between Euston and Frankfurt. I'd throw in Munich but due to the lack of traffic I'll leave it out.
