there are 2 more routes left on the roadmap of TSW4, a route like this miiight be possible, but we'll see an ICE 3 Velaro D (not ICE 3 Neo as mentioned in the post above) is in the works as a mod by FolyLantern, so something around Siemens Velaro ICE vehicles can be expected sooner or later in 2024, possibly
Yes, please! I am a fan of German high-speed trains, too. With the new route-hopping feature, we could hop from Aachen to Kassel with the connection to this route!
What does it mean to jump from Aachen to Kassel? Does the jump function connect all DLCs released by Deyang?
No, what he meant was that we would have a connection between Aachen and Kassel with all the routes we have: Aachen-Köln (SKA) Köln Frankfurt (this suggestion) Frankfurt-Fulda (TSW5) Fulda-Kassel (KWG) Keep in mind that this wouldn’t mean you could drive a train from Aachen to Kassel but rather that we would have all the routes for that
You read my mind. I love this line for three reasons: 1. It connects two of Germany's coolest stations 2. It would create a big network of "inter-hoppable" routes in TSW 5 (as someone already mentioned: SKA, this line, Kinzigtal and Kassel-Würzburg 3. It's highspeed, what else do you want (jokes aside it would still differentiate from Kassl-Würzburg because you can do 300, you have "feste Fahrbahn" and even without the links to Köln/Bonn Airport and Wiesbaden 4 stops on the line (Siegburg/Bonn, Montabaur, Limburg, Frankfurt Airport) and two options as a starting point on both ends of the line (Frankfurt Hbf or Airport and Köln Hbf or Messe/Deutz)
这条路线我一直都想发起，但并未真实去过德国以及科隆和法兰克福这2大城市，所以无法建立以及发起，也了解2大城市的周边建设 我之前在中国的交流论坛提案是 科隆 - 法兰克福机场 - 法兰克福总站 德国高铁 Ice 401、403、406、411都可以放Ａｉ时刻表因为毕竟是排名前3的中央站，再看看现在的亚琛 -科隆 、慕尼黑，那么大的站台竟然没什么车辆停靠，也基本上没有（始发&终点）停靠车辆 针对于这条线完全可以推出新的一款Ice高速动车组嵌入进这张路线地图.
通过了解并发现 所有线路都是一个大型火车站-中小型火车站，并没有 大型火车站 - 大型火车站路线，这对制作团来说无疑存在考验，这条线路推荐从去年2023发起，直到今天还没有实现，说明遇到技术壁垒，但还是对这条路线充满期待和信心，推荐你身边的朋友把这条路线置顶上去，让多乐堂制作团看到.
