    Not sure where to put this thread, so I'll leave it here for now. If it's in the wrong place then mods please move it.

    With the announcement of a new German route on the roadmap, it's speculation time! Let's use this thread as a general place for German route ideas, comment here which German routes you want to be added. Il go first: Hamburg - Cuxhaven, Koln - Frankfurt or Frankfurt - Koblenz.

    I think Frankfurt was deemed too complex for TSW once so I doubt we‘ll be getting that

    I would love to see Mannheim-Karlsruhe or Freiburg-Basel. Each of them has a ton of freight and the best possibilities for the new loco would be a Br193 or ICE1; another good thing: On Mannheim-Karlsruhe you could use the Br425 for a ton of S-Bahn services, and you have a parted high speed line from the normal line, but only on half the route! On Freiburg-Basel you have a really long tunnel. Apart from those specific pros, you can use almost every other german loco and waggon we have in game right now

    I think that Frankfurt wouldn't be a big problem because Munich is the biggest train station in Germany, the problem is performance on consoles because of the memory problem ganz DTG still has

    I think it will probably be Riesa-Leipzig because that's the upcoming route in Train simulator, because that's the same thing, they did for Riesa-Dresden. Whatever route it will be, I only hope that we'll get two new trains instead of always the same ones all the time

    Is it a problem? Many threads with the same topic are not bad.

    I haven't seen that, in the same way that I made that London-Hastings 1980 suggestion awhile back and some people did similar things, it doesn't matter.

    If I had a wish, I would go for Göttigen to Kassel Hbf/Eschwege West and maybe the Bodenfelde branch line up to Adelebsen somewhen around 1990. Would be nice to see a DLC with DB BR 103, 110,120, 140, 634, 798.

    Bochum-Dortmund/Hagen missing link between HRR RRO RSN including Hagen Vorhalle
    Hauptstrecke München-Salzburg Introduces ÖBB locomotives and its electric Shunter ÖBB 1163 seen in Verschiebebahnhof Salzburg Gnigl Hump and Hbf for Nightjet Shunting. Can substitute DB BR 363 G3 204 in Rangierbahnhof München Laim.
    Hollandstrecke Duisburg-Utrecht has split characteristics Domestic German route until Emmerich Am Rhein then Busy international route Emmerich to Zevenaar Domestic Dutch locomotives Zevenaar to Utrecht.

    Surely not? The only problem would be lag as many older consoles already crash at Victoria, and even next-gen consoles (like my PS5) have a lot of lag there and framerate drop. Also, since TSW first came to be, it has become much more powerful and capable of these things.
    That would be good, albeit the sounds on the BR 648 on Norddeutchebahn (Lubeck - Kiel) on TS22 sounds nothing like a real 648...

    I don't know some websites say it's Munich and some says that it's Leipzig but still that shouldn't stop DTG on creating Frankfurt

    I belive Leipzig in bigger in area (There is basically a shopping centre inside the station) but Munich has more platforms. Defo shouldn't stop Frankfurt coming to the game though.

    That would be interesting to see and hope it would connect to the Dresden-Reisa route that they made for rush hour and the Dresden-Reisa route can become the first in the game to get a route exstension and complete the full Dresden-Leipzig Railroad.

    Yes, a good idea! DTG could also make a diesel Vectron, realizing both of your ideas.

    Im down for anything as long if its not the same Old EMU and Dostos crap. If it is, can we at least get a new variant of Dostos and Hell i wouldnt even mind the IC2 or something. Im just hoping it could be Resia Leipzig for TSW 2, BUT there could be some serious backlash if it is, mainly because of extensions

    How about Bochum-Dortmund/Hagen merges HRR RRO RSN using Hagen Vorhalle Wetter Viaduct and Bochum Langendreer Junction. International Duisburg to Utrecht Netherlands via Arnhem Oberhausen & Zevenaar 135km (84 mi) Merges into HRR at Duisburg & Mulheim Styrum.
    S3 to or from Oberhausen Follows a Freight train Zevenaar Bochum Eherenfeld

    I would love to see another German high-speed route. Two routes I would love to see are Munich-Nürburg, and Koln-Frankfurt. 2 of the fastest high-speed lines in Germany. Anything that could allow us to get a new ICE train would be cool as well. Would love to see the ICE1, ICE 2, Velaro D, or ICE T. Would also love to see a route that introduces the Siemens Vectron as those things are workhorses in Germany. Honestly anything that would give us a new train would be great. A new S-Bahn route would also be nice.

    It's the correct ICE train for Riesa-Dresden and there are proposals to bring it in as part of Rush Hour Train Pack

    i got a feeling there could be some german DMU action going on, and i got a feeling this could be a route with multiple types of DMU, just a theory though

    I got the impression the 648 on the TS Classic route was not very good. Throttle literally acted as a speed setter, run up to a certain speed for each notch and stay there regardless of gradient up or down. Personally I'd like to see a 628 in the game but only if we can leave the TSC arcade physics for Voith etc. transmission DMU's left behind.

    It would be cool if we all could do a Voting for Germany, England and America (and other countries), which route we want to have, it's nice to have the suggestions, but a vote would be much better to see what routes we all want to have

    I don't think that's a good idea. The forums do not project the whole TSW community. Maybe a little part of them, mostly PC-people (as PC players are more used to use forums than console players) and they do have very special and particular interest. It would be a highly biased vote, where probably most of the rationale is going to be like "Oh that route is near my home, i want that", at the same time ignoring important points like what rolling stock is featured? Could we make use of layers to populate the route? Will this route be fun for everyone or only those who have a very particular interest in a particular feature of that route? And at the end the question for DTG is: Will it sell well?

    So i really don't think doing a poll or anything like that shows a result that actually means anything. And what if you have a very divided 60:40 ratio? What if there is a majority for a route, but all of the sudded due to licensing (or any other reason), they can't do this route? What actually is a meaningfull majority? 50 people in total who vote? 100? What if 70 of those 100 are on PC and vote for route A, but the other 30 who are on console all vote for route B?

    In addition, DTG doesn’t announce routes until they are near the end of production. I don’t want to know about an upcoming route until it’s 1-3 months from release. I don’t want to wait 9 months for something like Cane Creek. Just completely kills the hype. Plus most players are from Europe. So if an American route is being voted on, most Europeans probably don’t know what is good, and most likely won’t research. Would lead to a very unfair opinion. And if the route you voted for doesn’t even win, that’s gonna cause a lot of drama as well

    The voting doesn't only have to be on the forum, it can be build up in-game or maybe also on social media, this is only a suggestion on how to get routes the majority wants, I understand your opinion, but I and maybe some others would like to have an influence on upcoming routes
