    Leipzig main station is the biggest train station in europe. That should be enough reasons to include it in Rapid Transit, not only as scenery from the far, but as an explorable building and destination for AI trains. Almost a thousand trains per day arrive and depart at Leipzig Hbf and we only get to see the roughly 200 S-Bahn services. We're also missing out on some other possible timetable services. For example:
    1. RE 13
    Route: Leipzig Hbf <-> Dessau Hbf
    Rolling stock: Talent 2 (3, 4 or 5 car), BR 112 + DoSto
    2. IC 296/297
    Route: Leipzig Hbf <-> Bitterfeld
    Rolling stock: BR 4110 (Stadler KISS 2)
    3. ICE 500/699
    Route: Leipzig Hbf <-> Bitterfeld
    Rolling stock: BR 412/812 (12 car)

    Some other improvment opportunities:
    1. Freight services
    Freight trains would make the route feel way more alive. These could start/end at Leipzig Essener
    Straße, since that's where the trains leave the route to Leipzig Engelsdorf Gbf or just be AI.
    2. S-Bahn stop "Leipzig Essener Straße"
    I don't know why it's not included, but that would be a chance to catch up.
    3. 200 km/h between Leipzig and Bitterfeld
    This is probably needed to fit the new timetable for the IC and ICE.
    4. Trains on sidings
    The sidings don't have to be overfilled, but at least here and there one or two trains would be nice, just
    like you did with Salzburg Hbf. Some shunting would also be nice.
    5. S-Bahn stops "Leipzig-Stötteritz" and "Völkerschlachtdenkmal"
    This would give us at least one complete S-Bahn line (S2) and would only be 2 km to add.

    At last I want to say: For TSW we don't need all 1000 services in Leipzig Hbf, all we want is a bit more life and a main station, which we can also walk through. AI traffic would also be appreciated else where. For example in Bitterfeld or Dessau and a little freight wouldn't hurt anybody...
