I'm not going to be rude for DTG, but a route from Duisburg to Bochum was not very good idea. Essen-Dortmund or Essen-Düsseldorf would be better idea.
I don't think it was a mistake - they produced the route on purpose If it's a mistake for you, don't buy it? You don't even say WHY it was a so called mistake.
Because it don't feature any terminus stations. Essen, yes, it's a big main station where some trains terminate, but it's in the middle of the route, which may not be good at all. I bought it, because it added extra layer for HMA.
I bought it to, but because I like the route. It’s an experience that hasn’t been made so far, and I like it! And yes, you are right! Essen-Dortmund would have been better, but we don’t always have to get complete routes. As far as they are well made and come with good rolling stuff (Br425, one of the best trains that have been made for the TSW so far ) I‘m fine
