    About
    The Sydney network ran for 342.19 km (212.63 mi). There are a large number of stations. There would be a mix or services types, including suburban, express, inter-urban and intercity. I am aware this is currently 4 times too long, TSW as current, I'm just making a general suggestion

    I would like it set in 1990 due to still having at the time some fully single-floor trains, some single-floor motor cars mixed with double-deck trailers (some of the first ever created). There would also be the world's first fully double-deck mass-produced EMUs. This network has several freight yards, and freight is both electric and diesel.

    I am only recommending the suburban section, but the other service types will still be able to be driven by players for part of the run. When it ends for the player, it could be simulated as a crew change point.

    lines ran
    • Yellow - Berowra - Emu Plains, Richmond & Carlingford via harbor bridge
    • Red - Cowan via Epping and habor bridge
    • Green - Macarthur via Glenfield, Cabarama, Regents Park, Granville via city loop
    • Brown - Bankstown via city loop
    • Blue - Bondi Junction - Cornulla & Helensburgh
    • white - freight only
    • light blue - shared lines
    Some of the points of Interest along the line are
    Sydney Harbour Bridge, Port Botany seaport, Sydney Airport, Central Station, Cronulla Beach, City Circle loop

    I really like this suggestion. Australia would amazing to see in TSW. Especially Sydney. Love all the trains you have shown here. Huge variety.

    As stated previously, an Aussie route would be great but realistically DTG aren’t going to build it. Needs a competent and interested third party. And again, as we know, most interest in the Australian scene centres on Trainz or the now obsolete content that was made 20 years or more ago for MSTS.

    I don’t know about you, but that Aussie sun with its gamma, overexposure lighting on my display would make me go blind for sure ;)

    Seriously though, having Australia in the game would be great, but a third party dev would have to tackle that challenge.
