There still isn't route hopping in the secondary stations of Aschaffenburg between their rendition in Maintalbahn and Main-Spessart Bahn...
Since I’ve only recently gotten back into TSW with version 6 (not having used or even seen versions 2 - 5) one of the features that intrigued me the most was this thing called route hopping. I thought it was a great idea, given all the effort that goes into modeling large mainline stations, it means they can get used a second time in another route to head off in a different direction. So once I realised Great Western Express allows hopping to other major stations within central London (in my mind I pretend I’ve either walked or taken a taxi between them, lol) I quickly started my network collection. And as pure luck would have it, the last few months have had some awesome routes released. So my “London” network currently is as follows: Mildmay Line … Goblin Line [Euston] WCML South … WCML Trent valley … WCML Birmingham to Crewe … Birmingham Cross City Line [St Pancras] Southeastern Highspeed … Medway Valley Line [Victoria] Brighton Mainline (would love a bit of a remaster) … East Coastway [Paddington] Great Western Express … and now the Thames Valley Branches and I must say the route hopping between them, when an option is available, has worked flawlessly every time. Of course there are some missing nodes on some routes, but I’m really looking forward for those to be added. So now I can literally play free roam in timetable mode for hours without seeing the main menu. Different trips to different parts of the country from a central hub, what’s not to like about that.
