    The Nurnberg–Würzburg Railway is one of Germany's most important main lines, linking the cities of Nurnberg and Würzburg through the heart of northern Bavaria. Stretching just over 100 km (62 miles), the electrified double-track route supports a mix of high-speed ICE, Intercity, Regional-Express and freight services, with trains reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h. Passing through towns including Fürth, Neustadt an der Aisch and Kitzingen.

    INCLUDED ROLLING STOCK:
    DB ICE3 NEO (NEW)

    Integration with the upcoming release line will also be possible.
    I think that's a good idea.

    It's about time we got more ICE rolling stock in the game after the ICE-T being in the core German route for 2 iterations in a row and the ICE3m being recycled for Ludwigsbahn and not even being accurate apparently. At least TSG's new German route has improvements to the ICE3 instead of lazily recycling it with no changes. I can't be the only one that's still mighty pissed off with Leipzig - Dresden's complete and very annoying lack of any new motive power. DTG couldn't even be asked to make a 5car Talent 2 which was missing from Riesa - Dresden, why oh why DTG was no new motive power included with TSW6's core German route.

    Very good suggestion.
    The route offers many services for existing stock so it could get very close to real life if done right.

    One thing i would want to add is instead of the Br 425 they should do the Br 440 as its most used for the RE/RB lines and makes up a major part of AI trains at Würzburg.

    The Desiro HC is rather new in this region and on this route only supports the RE 20 so it maybe not worth for DTG or a 3P in this case.
