    Hello,
    I live in Norfolk. So basically any route starting from Norwich would be AMAZING!!!!!!!
    1. Norwich to Liverpool Street.
    2. Norwich to Sheringham.
    3. Norwich to Gt Yarmouth.
    4. Norwich to Lowersoft.

    Plus a cool add on to this would be the poppy line.
    1. Sheringham to holt

    I live in Augsburg, so when Munich-Augsburg (on the roadmap) comes out, I would like Augsburg-Ulm (or Stuttgart), but not as a seperate route, but as an extension.

    Also: Localbahn Augsburg (please use auto-translate). Lots of shorter trips along the rivers and through industrial areas with shunting, maybe with the 204?

    I think it would be nice to have the Leeds to Doncaster line for service: Northern. These stops via this link would be great to have

    I'd love to see some routes that are scenically remarkable.
    Such as:
    - Glacier Express - Switzerland (Zermatt <-> St. Moritz)
    - Rocky Mountaineer - Canada (Vancouver <-> Banff)
    - TranzAlpine - New Zealand (Christchurch <-> Greymouth)
    - West Highland Line - Scotland (Glasgow <-> Mallaig)
    - The Flåm Line - Norway (Flåm <-> Myrdal)
    - Belmond Hiram Bingham - Peru (Cusco <-> Macchu Picchu)
    - Moselstrecke - Germany (Koblenz <-> Trier)
    - Höllentalbahn - Germany (Freiburg <-> Donaueschingen)

    I’d love to see routes that are both iconic and slightly unknown:

    A Danish route (Aalborg - Århus) or (Fredericia - Padborg) with DSB IC3, DB Class MZ. DLC could be Class MY diesel Locomotive.

    Cornish Route (Penzance - Plymouth including the branchlines like Looe - Liskeard) with a Colas Class 70, GWR Class 150 and. Cross Country HST.

    Eurostar (St Pancras - Brussels or Paris) Using Class 373 and Class 374

    Brighton Mainline (London Victoria - Brighton including Hayward’s Heath to Lewes) with Class 377, Class 700 and Class 66 (with a better Horn). DLC could be Class 455 and Class 59.

    German Railway (Hamburg to Hannover including Maschen Yard and the docks around Moorsburg via Hamburg Harburg) with Metronom Class 246, ICE 1, and Class 152. DLC could be a Class 193 for Freight and FlixTrain services, or a Class 151

    Waterloo to Southampton using Class 450 and 444. DLC could be a Class 73.

    Exeter - Salisbury with SWR Class 159.

    Great Eastern Mainline (Liverpool Street - Norwich including Harwich Branch and Felixstowe Branch)
    Using Class 90 with Mk3 and DVT.

    I'm with you on this extension to Stuttgart please. Any UK and German routes I buy probably won't go for Island line not interested in old stock. Augsburg - München route is very interesting and München HBF is one of the largest train stations in Germany can't wait to see how they model it.

    I'm a fan of western US railroads, especially the BNSF, Santa Fe, Burlington Northern, Great Northern, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Western Pacific. I'd like to see some routes with these railroads. Here are a few of my ideas:

    -BNSF and/or ATSF Seligman Sub: Needles, CA-Winslow, AZ
    -Grand Canyon RR in Williams, AZ (on the Seligman Sub)
    -BNSF/ATSF Raton Pass
    -BNSF/BN/GN Stevens Pass
    -BNSF/BN/GN Marias Pass
    -UP Evanston Sub/Wasatch Grade: Ogden, UT-Green River, WY
    -BNSF/UP/C&NW/BN Powder River Wyoming Route
    -WP Feather River Canyon: Oroville-Portola, CA
    -SP Donner Pass: Roseville-Reno
    -SP Peninsula Corridor: San Francisco-San Jose/Gilroy
    -SP/ATSF, UP/ATSF, or UP/BNSF Tehachapi Pass
    -SP/UP West Colton Yard/Palmdale Cutoff
    -Pacific Surfliner: LA-San Diego
    -Amtrak Cascades/BNSF/Sounder Commuter

    Some other US routes that I would like to see:
    -PRR or Conrail Horseshoe Curve
    -Brightline/FEC Miami-West Palm Beach or Orlando
    -Canadian Pacific/CPKC Kicking Horse Pass
    -Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge
    -Cumbres and Toltec NG

    Some international routes that I would like to see:
    -Ffestiniog in Wales
    -Harz NG in Germany
    -Settle & Carlisle Line in the UK

    Been there last week. changing from a RJX over to an ICE. the new high speed line is great, I think an extension to Ulm is more reasonable and very cool, although I expect them to extend the S-bahn if they put in more effort than some TOD4 and timetable upgrades for the 420.
