    Hello DTG Team,

    you showed us, how nice you were eliminating one of the most ambience killing thing in the Rush Hour routes: AI traffic around the big hub stations. Dresden, Boston and the whole Brighton Mainline have a very busy feeling.

    But that awakens the desire to the other routes that provide bigger stations that are still feeling a bit dead.
    So I ask you to implement more of them to the older routes. All in all that would mostly be trains that come from a portal, stop at the hub station and leave again through a portal. In the rest of the cases that could be terminating and reversing Multiple Units or Push-Pull-Trains.

    Here are some examples:

    Cathcart Circle Line: Glasgow Central feels very empty. I know there are much of the travelling trains missing, but if you would just fill the space with the class 314 for several suburban lines, that would bring the ambience much more foreward.

    Same about Cologne and Duisburg: The Trains of the other connecting lines are mostly absence. More AI trains from the MSB could help to make it feel more realistic. The suggestion here: Make a half hourly knot of several lines, that there are more platforms occupied, than only two or four and copy it...

    Manchester and Leeds need also more traffic from the diverging lines. Some platforms never see a train, so maybe it would also possible to reuse the rolling stock of the DLC to provide several additional services.

    The list continues... ICE3 or BR101 IC on MSB as AI coming from Hanau/Aschaffenburg and leave the map without stop on the Nantenbach junction to the high-speed-line.

    Rhein-Ruhr-Osten and Ruhr-Sieg -Nord: Hagen Hbf could also take more trains:
    In RSN all the RE lines from Wuppertal to Dortmund
    In RRO the trains from Siegen...

    Hamburg has one of the worst lack of AI trains. I think no one would really miss the S-Bahn, but the western tracks are completely empty all day long. Yes, there is no license and model of the Metronom trains, but with ICE3 (as placeholder for ICE 1) , DB BR 101 and some more Doppelstock trains in DB livery, would make many DLC owners happy.

    About NYC Penn Station has already been discused...

    The lack of Leipzig Hbf (upper level) denies a realistic train traffic in the Rapid Trainsit Route.

    So, what about reworking that route? You may take RT, add Leipzig Hbf and make it a bit longer to Roßlau (Elbe), including the freight sidings a bit north of it. The most part of the line has already paid its value, so you could add more of the existing vehicles, some layers of other routes, a fully timetable and resell it as a complete overhauled route, with a disount to all RT owers...

    Duisburg Hbf DB BR406 AI these go to Amsterdam Centraal via Arnhem CS since Duisburg Hbf is the end point of Duisburg Oberhausen-Arnhem Railway so is the S3 On HRR terminating at Oberhausen Hbf.
