I have some Route suggestions for TSW 2 here i will list them and their time to drive 1. Arras to Lille 25 min. 2. Lille to Brussels Midi 38mim 3 Lille to Calais-Fréthun 30 min
good luck for the licences for the clais fréthun to Lille I think a LGV from Lille to paris it's better
The 3rd suggestion Lille Europe Calais-Fréthun can be joined by a SEHS Extension HS1 Extension Ebbsfleet Calais-Fréthun via Channel Tunnel. The reason for this is very simple is that at Calais-Fréthun SNCF BB36000 BB37000 or DB BR185s with KVB VACMA are shunted off the freight train for a Class 92. Because BB36000-37000 & DB BR185 from RRO & MSB lack duplicated electrical systems which is required for channel tunnel therefore the only locomotive to have those are Class 92s. Lille Europe to Calais-Fréthun can be sold with SEHS as a bundle called London to Lille Europe High Speed route. Provided Southeast High Speed gets extended all the way to Calais-Fréthun via Channel Tunnel from Ebbsfleet.
I'd love to see a second french route, LGV MÉDITERRANÉE is a great route but it only has 3 stations and very little variety. DTG has only just scratched the surface and I hope they invest in France as much as they have for Germany and the UK. I think an inter-country route would also be great, getting to switch power modes and enable different safety systems such as Brussels Midi to Aachen taking about an hour on the ICE 11 service. Plus some services are run by SNCB requiring you to change trains.
I would like an French commuter train more then a LGV route, or both (like HMA,...) SNCF has some fun rolling stock that would be cool to have.
You mean the Belgian Railways abbreviation for it in Dutch language is NMBS in French SNCB. Also maintenance Depot has SNCB Class 55s with TVM-430 if players wanted another Drag Line Scenario.
