    not really much of a remaster i’m suggesting, but it would be nice for the route to have suspension, announcements and especially tunnel reverb- if nothing else that is a must. it’s a nice route when driven properly and a few bits of polish could breathe a lot of life into it

    it would benefit from adding the regional line as well... or a bit after Wurzburg... the route is ok, but suffers from not really having PZB section(s)

    It have pzb in the Würzburg area and i love to see a remaster and a performance fix with suspension for the ICE1. The performance is sometimes very bad when a ICE1 is nearby.

    an extension would be nice but with the route already standing at 186km, i understand if that’s not possible. i think a small remaster to bring it up to modern standards (as well as some tweaks to the lighting, the contrast is way too high currently) are much more achievable

    you mean that last 1 km or sth? :D ... thats just an additional challenge towards the end :D ... one of the reasons why I love lets say Frankfurt Fulda is cos it actually has 2 LZB zones, with PZB zones around em... and Dresden Leipzig has PZB until a bit after Riesa, then a long LZB section and PZB again near Leipzig... and I enjoy the bit of challenge when you have to reset AFB upon exiting LZB :)

    I know that joining routes isn't necessarily an option, but (excuse bad drawing), this is where Kassel - Wuerzburg (red) and Main-Spessart (green) meet, along with some potential connecting lines (orange).

    With this - and the orange line out east continuing the on the original line, you could:

    Run freight and regional services from Wurzburg to Aschaffenburg or Burgsinn
    Add ICEs from Aschaffenburg to Wurzburg, creating a fun half-high speed/half-regular speed run like you get in SEHS
    Finally add ICEs and ICs to Main-Spessart
    Bring both routes, particularly Main-Spessart, up to modern route standards
    Almost complete a triangle with Frankfurt - Fulda.
