    Hear us out.
    Dovetail doesn’t love us.
    Us in Ireland have 0 routes ZERO even in tsc and ts WE ARENT ON THE TABLE.
    If we were to get a route it should be Dublin max speed (100mph) to Portlaoise(30 mins) on the Dub-Cork operated by the 22000 and the 201+mark 4, or Dub to Dundalk(max speed 100mph) on the dublin to belfast line which takes about 50 mins last but not least we have Kildare to Kilkenny(max speed around 80mph) on the Dublin to Waterford line(about an hour) this could even be extended to dublin heuston because it uses the same station as Dublin to Cork. If it does get extended then the line would be an hour and 40 mins or so. Please dovetail look into this

    Dublin(C) to belfast can be operated by 5 trains btw the class 4000 DMU(i think 4 cars can be coupled up) The CAF 3000 DMU (3 cars can be coupled (these two Cafs are British btw) The class 22000 DMU(6 cars 3+3) the mark 5 + class 201(7+2) and The class 29000 DMU(8 cars 4+4
    Dublin(H) to Cork can be operated by yet again the class 22000 DMU in the same formation and the mark 4 + class 201 (8+1)
    and Finally the Dublin(H) to Waterford line is only operated by the class 22000 DMU usually 5 cars with premier class in the 5th
    Yes the 22000 is like a voyager for us it’s everywhere

    How about Dublin Newry 67 mi AWS Dundalk ROI UK Newry CAWS Ireland Dublin Dundalk. All trains on the route need to be AWS CAWS equipped.

    Yes we can use the 10 22000s that were fitted with AWS TPWS AND CAWS or the CAF 4000, 3000

    Correct and for DTG they should do that since AWS TPWS is familiar territory. For CAWS does Irish Railways have a document on how it works otherwise community is going to assume that it works like AWS PZB Integra Signum from Luzern Sursee

    I’ve never seen the specific Document so im guessing it’s like PZB But i’ve seen the TPWS, AWS in real life

    Let’s be realistic here, Ireland hasn’t had much love in any of the sims, other than a small amount of payware for MSTS and a bit of freeware. Don’t get me wrong, I love Ireland and it’s railways, at least in the loco hauled era, were like a time capsule with jointed track, manual signalling etc. However that sadly probably doesn’t add up to something which will make DTG the sort of profits they would be looking for on a TSW project.

    thats True the loco hauled were something else but it still would be nice to drive a 6 car 22000 icr
