Just for hype \o/ I've come to like HRR a lot lately. BR 101 has a lot of influence on this. Essen gives the impression of a very busy train station. I decided to check if these weren't delusional again... The Oracle HMA with a total of 427 services & Pasing Station with 292 trains a day! For comparison, SEHS & Chatham Station, with 247 trains, is also pretty busy! Essen? 323 trains a day (HRR's total is 404) ** Plus, freight trains passing by /o\ I love videos like this one (pre-IC-101 era, not full timetable):
Same here . It’s one of those routes that isn’t the best when you get it , then you leave it for a while , but when you come back , it quickly becomes a personal favourite
