    Hello Dovetailgames
    I'd like to see the Südbahn from Ulm Hbf to Friedrichshafen Stadt for Train Sim World. This line was electrified in 2019 and is very busy. Could you please publish the route with a timetable where it is electrified? I would be very happy.
    Love
    Julian Hofer

    While I'd love to see a route taking place in Baden-Württemberg at some point, I honestly think there are better candidates.
    The Südbahn is very straightforward, no challenging gradients or unique features. It's not even that close to Lake Constance, to have this as a selling point (at least not as close as S-Bahn Vorarlberg).
    And a pet peeve of mine: By now, we've got soooo many German electrified double-track main lines heading from one regional hub to another. I'd love to see some diesel routes, some smaller routes, just something in the vein of Niddertalbahn or Mittenwaldbahn... And Baden-Württemberg has got countless such routes to offer :)

    And if it has to be the Südbahn, I'd rather see it in its non-electrified state, maybe at around 2010. This would finally, FINALLY make a good playground for the still criminally underused 218 as its main attraction, with plenty of 612 and 628 as side dish :D

    Or have Fridriechshafen - Singen which is far more scenic and a proper run for 218s.

    Agreed, this one has got much more to offer. Would also lend itself well to be set in the 90's or so :)

    If it was the early 90s we could even get a 215 for it.
