    Looking at the ticket machine in Dresden-Riesa (before it crashed grrr) and if you look closely on the ticket you can see some German routes on the bottom including SKA,HRR,HMA,HBK,DRA and one that says. D?? Could this be a Easter egg for the next German route? Thoughts in comments down below

    Good spot mate. Be interesting :)
    I did wonder why they put the little ticket machine thingy in. And matt did specifically show us that as well in the stream.

    First German route where the ticket thing works, not many would look so perfect place to hide something

    My thought on the “D” is that it could be any city rather than referring to somewhere like Düsseldorf or Dortmund as the first character on German routes is usually either the name of the river or a description on the types of line or services such as Schnellfahrstrecke or Rhur

    Another Thing it could be is how DTG have started using simple names “like Boston Sprinter and Rapid Transit” therefore it could give no clue to the location

    Yes, but as a counterpoint, the latest one is listed on the ticket as "DRA" for Dresden - Riesa, rather than the name that's used on the actual download for it of Dresden Local Transport.

    I've been theorising a lot with this teaser, but I might have found something which might fit it


    it would make sense to have a U Bahn route as it would just be a new experience, and the entire u Bahn dortmund system is within 100 miles of track so it is within DTGs route milage I've thought of everything and this is the closest thing I can get

    Plus the line being partly underground means there isn’t as much scenery needed than on a different route e.g SEHS or HMA

    Nothing on the roadmap about the next D route again.

    Could there just be a little teaser on the stream today, pleeease TrainSim-Matt? Just to keep the speculation going...

    :)

    Thanks! Maybe I should go to the ophtalmologist - I could have sworn there was nothing when I looked earlier today.

    Some DMU action finally, and also tilting technology. Great!

    It's a glitch. Should have been a 'P' but a bit broke off after the Unreal update. :cool:
