Ice T 411 Köln-aachen

As you may know, the time table is getting a new update but why can’t the ICE T be driven as a playable timetable service?

 

If the 411 isn’t used on the route irl then I wouldn’t expect it to be used on the route here

 

On the page it says it’s used for AI services but they’re surely they run on the same piece of track just slower

 

They probably just run to off world destinations from Köln

 

Oh right

 

I believe it's to do with the fact that the services to/from Aachen continue to/come from Belgium, so the ICE stock needs to be capable of running there which I don't think the ICE-T is.

 

ICE-T doesn't have TVM430. it is used on the Belgian high speed lines. Also it lacks ETCS.

 

After the timetable update, I now have 4 timetables for Koln-Aachen - original, new journeys, 2023 and this latest version. What confuses me is that the new version has 699 playable services, in my configuration, but the 2023 has 900. It is surprising to me that the 2023 has more, although I do not know what date the new version uses as a base and what permutations are possible (the trains available differ somewhat).

 

Isn't the 2023 a mod/player-made TT?

 

I had overlooked that the 2023 is a mod - but you triggered me to check and now I installed the latest version - mod is by 2Martens (https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...4387-cologne-aachen-timetable-2023-version-17) and is excellent, provided you are on Pc and have all the recommended Paks
