    Desperately needed to transform the route

    1. Luzern - Sursee
    A busy route with long distance passenger service as well as freight, the addition of these would turn a disappointing route into one of the best

    Hugely important in bringing the route to life

    2. Cathcart Circle
    3. LGV Med

    Both have been helped by new liveries, but more variety of units would make a huge difference, as well as trains at the major termini and connections with other lines

    Major enhancement in adding more density and variety

    4. West Cornwall
    5. Spirit of Steam

    These two routes could do with era-appropriate long-distance and local trains, respectively

    Need new layers from existing stock, but new addons wouldn't hurt either

    6. Munich - Augsburg
    7. HS Rhein-Ruhr
    8. Rhein-Ruhr-Ost
    9. Rapid Transit

    All could do with additions of ICE and/or IC trains now that these are available

    Extra stock would be a significant enhancement

    10. Bakerloo line
    11. Northern Trans Pennine
    12. Hamburg - Lubeck
    13. Tees Valley
    14. Arosa

    All of which could be brought to life with more services and more AI, some of which is already available

    Pretty good but could be better

    15. Great Western Express
    16. London to Brighton
    17. LIRR
    18. Boston Sprinter
    19. East Coastway

    All very busy routes that could see more services, from new and/or existing stock

    Superb but more trains is never a bad thing

    20. Tharandter Rampe
    21. West Somerset
    22. Southeastern Highspeed
    23. Kassel - Wurzburg (AFAIK)
    24. Koeln - Aachen
    25. Dresden - Riesa

    The aim to aspire to - but there's always more trains!

    Not much to be done

    26/27. IOW
    When there's only one train, there's only one train...

    Unknown
    The rest - either through not having them, or not knowing the route, or both.

    6.) Munchen Augsburg the DB BR182 MRCE 182 doing OBB Railjet Nightjet and Eurocity Blauer Enzian
    23.) Koeln Aachen DB BR193 182 improved (I mean OBB Baureihe 1016/1116) sleeper train If DTG has SNCB NMBS Licence then these PZB equipped trains HLD 55 HLD77/78 HLE28 Bombardier Traxx. Retro HLE16 HLE18 Alstom the Nez Casses. Bonus GDR trains if one has Riesa-Dresden in the Deutsche Reichsbahn DDR era. Check my signature for Legends of the GDR Pack
    1.) Luzern Sursee RE484 Traxx ES64F4 RE474 IR Geneva Airport Olten Sursee Luzern Rabe 500 503 & 502 all are tilting trains. Rabe 503 also runs Frankfurt Main Hbf to Milano Centrale via Luzern Sursee Basel Gotthard Bahn trips

    Tbh you should’ve listed the trains that actually run on the routes. At least for the ones you mentioned that need them the most. I have zero clue on what actually runs on routes like Luzern or SOS

    I wanted to keep it relatively short and specific stuff has been discussed passim but, in terms of the main ones:

    1. Luzern to Sursee. A lot of candidates, but an SBB 420 plus Eurofima wagons would add a huge amount of journeys, particularly with the addition of the European freight wagons we already have. Beyond this, almost all of SBB's fleet can be seen here. These additions would allow for future SBB routes too

    2. Cathcart Circle At least one more type of unit, perhaps a 320, plus AI which would likely have to come from other addons
    [​IMG]
    3. LGV-Med A TGV Reseau, plus activity at Marseille with the same caveat as above
    [​IMG]
    4. West Cornwall. An Intercity-liveried HST. Perhaps a 47 with A/C Mk2s or a 158 - all of which could appear elsewhere
    [​IMG]
    5. Spirit of steam A tank engine with apt coaches - presumably an LMS 2MT

    IOW could always use a retro Standard (1926) Tube stock.

    Instead of TGV Reseau why not make them TGV Euroduplex 4700s and TGV Duplex PBKA. That way it can layer to Hauptstrecke München Augsburg as a München Hbf Paris Est service. TGV Thalys PBKA layers to Hauptstrecke Rhein Ruhr and Schnellfahrstrecke Köln Aachen as a Paris Nord Aachen Köln Duisburg Dortmund service

    SOS doesn't need a 2MT - it needs a 3F. It's ludicrous that there are these massive yards but no shunter.

    these would be great but they’re more general than specifically for LGV Med. the Thalys doesn’t run many services along it, and the Euroduplex is visually very similar to what we have. A reseau would provide more variety

    Ok, then and for TGV Reseau the alt paint scheme is a 4500 series for Italy Netherlands, and Belgium. One thing to remember is that the TGV Reseau uses 25kv ac pantograph for Italian 3kv Dc since 1.45m Carbon strip SNCF SBB CFF FFS CFL Luxembourg AC is safe for Italian 3kv DC 1.45m cooper strip wires.
    Video by Simply Railway for TGV Reseau to Italy

    The reason why I went with TGV Euroduplex is that LGV can give layers to HMA and future SSU
    Schnellfahrstrecke Stuttgart Ulm.Currently a project
    for Paris Est trips
