    Hi there DTG team,
    You are doing the great job bringing the modern train simulator to our PCs and consoles! (and Steam Decks as well ;)
    I was riding the Stadler FLIRT (MAV 415) train from the Esztergom to the Budapest Nyugati station recently.
    I really liked that route (and a train) and I've realized that this is the perfect route for the TSW3.
    It is just a 53 km (33 miles) long route with 14 beautiful stations and wonderful scenery as the route passes through the Buda Hills (a landscape protected area).
    It's being operated mainly by two types of trains from which one is basically already in the game as the SBB RABe 523 EMU from the Luzern - Sursee route. The second one is double-decker Stadler KISS (MAV 815). All trains are equipped with the ETCS L2 system.
    The ride takes almost exactly 1 hour between the Esztergom and Budapest Nyugati stations and the services leaving both terminal station every 30 minutes from 4am till midnight (so creating a timetable will be quite easy :)

    As a small bonus, the route already exist as a part of user-created add-on for MSTS (Alfold 7.2):

    Thank you and have a nice day =)
    Kind Regards,
    Ondrej Gregor

    PS: sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker
    PPS: if I were to work as a train driver one day, it would definitely be on this line
