The Blue Mountains Line was operated by NSW Trainlink Intercity but today its Sydney Trains, and it goes from Central to Bathurst but electrified between Central and Lithgow. The following station of the Blue Mountains Line: Distance from Central Central 0 km Redfern (Peak hours only) 1.3 km Strathfield 11.8 Km Paramatta 23.2 Km Westmead (Bathurst Bullet only) 25.2 Km Blacktown 34.9 Km Penrith 55.1 Km Emu Plains 57.4 Km (End of Sydney Trains suburban area) Lapstone 63.6 Km Glenbrook 67.1 Km Blaxland 71.5 Km Warrimoo 74.3 Km Valley Heights 77.4 Km Springwood 79.7 Km Faulconbridge 83 Km Linden 86.8 Km Woodford 90.4 Km Hazelbrook 93.5 Km Lawson 96 Km Bullaburra 97.7 Km Wentworth Falls 102.6 Km Leura 107.6 Km Katoomba 109.9 Km Medlow Bath 115.8 Km Blackheath 120.7 Km Mount Victoria 126.7 Km Bell 137.1 Km Zig Zag (Request stop) 150.9 Km Lithgow 155.8 Km (End of electrified area) The train fleets of the Blue Mountains are the V sets and the DMU Endeavour N sets as Bathurst Bullet. V set: Mariyung D set: Endeavour N set: Livery (1): Livery (2): Watch this video to know what the cab of the V set train look like: This is what the cab looks like in the D set train: This is what the cab of the Endeavour Railcar look like: V sets was built between 1977 and 1989 Second batch: 1977 - 1981 Third Batch: 1982 - 1988 Fourth Batch: 1989 D sets is being built from 2019 and today Endeavour Railcars was built between 1994 and 1996 More information on Google or Wikipedia
Excellent idea by the way you should make the new D set as the DLC Train here. FYI DKM are the 1989 builds. I went on one DKM 8143
If he built the new D set muriyungs and put the central to lithgow route on it me and a lot of other people I been talking to that rlly want Australia to be included into the game would be happy aswel. Hopefully that dream comes true one day.
Presumably the OP has not read the comment elsewhere from the Executive Producer, that all approaches to Australian train and infrastructure operators for licensing and research access have been firmly rebutted. So no Aussie routes happening any time soon if ever. If you want Oz, then it's either the old MSTS stuff under Open Rails like Coals To Newcastle (though the site hosting that is gone) or N3V Trainz.
Would definitely like to have Australia in game but as oldvern has stated dtg has not had much luck in getting any licensing. You also have the issue that Australia is on the other side of the world so even if they were to get licensing they would also have to bear the cost of flying a team out here (which is not cheap) and they would want to do that as few times as possible, so they would want to do as many operators as they could in one hit. Best chances we would have getting Australia in game would be; DTG does a debranded train/s and the sounds would likely have to come from locos near Dtg that had similar or the same equipment or from American units that have the same equipment. A 3rd party such as Union Workshop (I believe this is the closest one that would be likely to do it as they have previously done routes in Japan and China in TSC and are currently doing a Japanese route for TSW) this too would likely be debranded and sounds are more likely to be not similar to the real thing. I would also be curious to know if the operators would be more willing to give dtg a licence if the route would be set far enough back in time to were the operation of the equipment set then would not work on current-day equipment. At this point, I would be willing to accept a debranded Australian route if that is what it takes. I am not keeping up my hopes for an Australian route as we never had one for TSC.
Other option could be a heritage line like Puffing Billy, but that would require DTG to dust off steam traction. That would be a good one though, IIRC isn't that the run where they allow passengers to sit hanging their legs out the window?
Most of our trains in Australia are from Japan and stuff there built over there so why can’t they find someone there that could redesign the ones we got from Japan. ?
