Welcome in this thread dedicated to presenting two very interesting Lines in France (especially in West). I'm french so I will be able to explain precisely these lines with pictures and maps and why it would be perfect for a future DLC.So let's start: As you know there are not many French Routes and Locos in Dovetail Games. So I come to convince you and I hope to give you the desire to realize some new stuffs. First Line Exemple: "Ligne T1: Nantes - Châteaubriant" The "T" lines in France are a new kind of transportation who has a few years. Travelers are on board of Trams-Trains. In Nantes there are two Trams-Trains lines. (Nantes - Clissons & Nantes - Châteaubriant) These two lines are exploited by the "SNCF" with the self-propelled vehicle Citadis Dualis of Alstom: Quote from Alstom web site*1*: Now some Pictures and Videos: Tram-train Citadis Dualis , Clisson, France: A Citadis Dualis Tram-train in Gorges station on T2 Line (Nantes - Clisson) The inside of a Citadis Dualis: Tram-Train Nantes - Châteaubriant by interloire44: As you can see this kind of transport is very interesting for a simulation in a game and it is particularly unseen. Second Line Exemple: "Ligne Intercités: Nantes - Bordeaux" The "Intercités" lines are use to travel in the medium distance network of the country. In Nantes there is an interesting line, the Nantes - Bordeaux Line. This line come to be update with the arrival of a new intercités self-propelled vehicle the Coradia Liner. Now some Pictures, Maps and Videos: Old Intercités Train. New Intercités Train: The inside of a Coradia Liner: The Road Map: New train : SNCF, Coradia Liner - Les Trains Intercités de nouvelle génération by TERRY87392: This line is very interesting because of is new types of trains and the differents landscapes we can see during the trip. I hope you appreciate this Post and if you have questions or others I'll glad to answer you. Happy New Year ! Cordially LeinZ.
Excellent idea! It'd be nice to see some French mainline action come to TSW. Another nice tram-train route would be in and around Lyon. From the beautiful Saint-Paul station, which is located in Lyon's 5th arrondissement, there are three tram-train routes which head westwards through the Loyasse tunnel. After Gorge de Loup station, the trams head to Brignais, L'Arbresle, Sain-Bel and Lozanne. Rolling stock is the Citadis Dualis as above, but then in Rhône-Alpes livery: I made this picture myself when I was there, 2.5 years ago.
Bring it on and furthermore the new train B83500 it can be modified to equip DB Netze ÖBB Infra Punktförmige Zugbeeinflussung which ends up turning it into a B85500.
I made a route suggestion for the Chamonix line Here - https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/route-saint-gervais–vallorcine-le-châtelard-line.62255/
