This would be a great route, but I understand there is a problem getting Stadler units in TSW. Not too long ago there were loco-hauled IC, and...
Glad to hear it!
Plus a few skip Ingolstadt.
From the Q&A summary, the 401 is not listed as drivable, which seems crazy to me. Certainly a shame.
Presumably Nurnberg to Wurzburg and Ingolstadt to Munich.
To me, LAMPOIL is satisfied by A partial high-speed, partial normal line experience (albeit a short run on normal lines), which is more fun than...
Yeah ICE2s did too, the service that splits at Hannover mostly.
There's definitely been ICE1s on this route - mostly replaced by ICE4s now, but ICE1 is a decent substitution. There's also plenty of ICE1s for AI...
The thought of Wurzburg - Nurnberg doesn't excite me massively I must say - it feels like the kind of fairly nondescript German electrified...
Oh really? I did not realise that
ICE1 is 250km/h in service nowadays. I do think this a good choice - in contrast with some other high speed routes, there is some regular running...
Hmm, you seem to be right. Looks like they use a 1440 (not gonna happen), or before that, a 143 or 111 with n-Wagen.
Also, does the SKA 442 have LZB? It will need it to run the hourly S5 services, which run to the Allersberg, the first stop on the HSL.
The Dresden - Leipzig 442 has more of those new features, so would make more sense, but for the VVO white stripe which I guess is too different.
Why was the 442 not included? I mean, most German rail fans will have it, but if anything that's a reason to include it. Without it, players...
Honestly I'd rather see the current routes fleshed out before they add new routes, as much as I'd like to see Edward, plus the Western engines. I...
I think honestly they just didn't want to bombard us all at once. I expect we'll see a steady trickle soon.
I don't think route DLCs will be a thing with this - not in the same way as TSW anyway - we'll possibly see extensions to the existing route as...
Concentrating on the lines we currently have rather than any new branches, I'd like to see: Based on the 6 engines we have: Some variation in...
I feel like it'll probably be new engines rather than routes, and I think that makes sense - flesh out what we have now before expanding. I was...
I really like this idea. I think you'd definitely get a good trio of routes out of it.
The longer ICEs could sub in for double length formations of the shorter ones, while the shorter ones could sub for each other. The idea would be...
I know that joining routes isn't necessarily an option, but (excuse bad drawing), this is where Kassel - Wuerzburg (red) and Main-Spessart (green)...
Yeah, with a full set of DB layers I found Leipzig about as busy as it is IRL. Even in reality it can look sparse as it's so massive.
People who like German railways appreciate another German release. There's been fewer German routes than UK ones in this TSW cycle.
Thank you! I might buy that, I love EuroCity. There are a couple of superb (large) hardbacks on the service's history:...
Maybe I'm wrong, and this is quite minor, but I drove a Manchester to Llandudno service with the Pacer, and I was surprised it didn't cross over...
Ultimately it's a game that needs releases to maintain its momentum. It's more of a story game than sim, and any story game will tail off once...
The sectorisation era would be ideal was we already have: Class 86 Mk2 coaches (but a DBSO would need to be created) 314 which could be adapted...
The Thameslink core is ETCS too.
Now that we have the Leipzig Hbf model, then there's a lot of potential with the route. Could have a really good timetable with all the stuff we...
I'd favour the earlier routes, not just for route quality, but as they're more likely to have missing rolling stock that could now be layered in....
Eurostar (blue) route options: London to Ashford Pro: already an excellent route, a decent, varied, run. Excuse to give that route a polish and...
I’d like to see the Netherlands or Austria return.
It would also be an excuse to add stuff like announcements to SEHS. Win win! But I don’t think the licence is gettable
Driving the TGV between St Pancras and Ashford is quite fun - takes about half an hour which is similar to other HS runs in TSW. Several more...
They don’t even need to do that. Just go back to 2019 when some did.
Yeah, I said “used to”.
Maybe, but as much as I'd like to see Edward and the Western engines, I'd rather they built on what they have before extending it. I feel like...
A Eurostar would be a good DLC for a route we already have, SEHS, would really be the finishing touch to that route. Enough services used to stop...
I've got a few quid of PS5 credit coming my way, and am keen to get a TSW route or two. On my wishlist, I have: Medway WCML Trent Valley Crewe to...
Not much left around there though.
My expectation - and hope - is that some new content is announced on Dovetail Live in a month. It is still only one route, with relatively few...
Personally I would prioritise new engines over lines. With 6 engines, it's difficult to get the busy railway we experienced in the TV shows and...
