So with tsw4 likely looming, time to dream up 3 more routes for the game. Leave your ideal 3 here. Il go first: ECML South - (London KX - Peterborough, Moorgate line, Cambridge Line in 2023) Trains: Class 91, Class 800/801, Class 387, Class 700/1, Class 717, IC225 (Layers: Class 700/0, class 66) Bahnstrecke Hanover - Hamburg (Hanover - Hamburg in 2023) Trains: ICE 1, DB BR 424, Metronom 146 + 4th gen Dopplestockwagens, Dispolok ES 64 U2 (Layers: ICE 3) Washington Speeder (Baltimore - Washington in 1987) Trains: Amtrak AEM7, Conrail GP40, MARC Aem7, MARC E9AM, MARC GP39H-2 Leave your suggestions below!
UK: ECML South: London-Peterborough Trains: Class 801/2 LNE, Class 387/1 GN, InterCity 225 LNE (DLC), Class 700/0 TL (layer), Class 66 EWS (layer) GER: Bahnstrecke Leipzig-Riesa Trains: DB BR 411 'ICE T' + same layers as Nahverkehr Dresden US: Tehachapi Pass Trains: GP38-2 BNSF, Dash 9-CW BNSF + stock from Cajon Pass That's my aspirations for core routes for the next TSW title whenever it is releasing
Love the sound of the ECML especially the class 717 I think it's quite a good train and definitely could runs services on the Northern City Line from Moorgate to Alexandra Palace and Welwyn Garden City. The Northern City Line is only 3 more miles from Finsbury Park - Moorgate so it just gives more services and more to the class 717. But still would be cool with Class 717 coming from Kings Cross. And would love the Class 91
How about this United Kingdom Northern Rail Calder Valley Line Manchester Victoria to Leeds City via Bradford Interchange & Hebden Bridge Germany International 49.75 miles Hollandstrecke Duisburg Oberhausen Emmerich am Rhein Zevenaar Arnhem Utrecht 156km. United States 58 miles 93 km Raritan Valley Line High Bridge to NY Penn Station. Deluxe edition Western Australia Perth to Mandurah via Wellard Mandurah Line Austria Schnellfahrstrecke Wien Sankt Pölten Linz Salzburg Westbahn. This one actually changes the German route HDU to the ability to run Austrian locomotives on there due to PZB while ÖBB Baureihe 1293 173-200 which are equipped with the Dutch Automatische Treinbeïnvloeding are cleared for Utrecht Centraal via voltage change points Emmerich am Rhein & Zevenaar. Also includes Austrian multiple units running alongside the German trains thanks to the same Punktförmige Zugbeeinflussung 90 system. Belgium Ligne 36/37 Bruxelles Gare du Midi Louvain Liège Aix en la Chappele Gare Centrale (Aachen Hbf) An international route thinking Germany to Belgium with the provision of merging with Schnellfahrstrecke Köln Aachen common origin point Köln Hbf. Gives the German route the base game route from TSW 2 Belgian train that can run on PZB. Unique feature train announcements in German Dutch and French the national languages of Belgium.
US Route Ideas: -SP 1950s Donner Pass: Roseville, CA-Reno, NV with Cab Forwards -UP Evanston Sub: Ogden, Utah-Green River, Wyoming with #4014, #844, #3985, ET44AC, SD70ACe-T4, ES44AC, GP60, GP40N, SD70M, SD90-43MAC, SD59MX, C4460AC/C44ACM -ATSF or BNSF Seligman Sub: Needles, CA-Winslow, AZ: ATSF 1990s locos: SD45/SD45-2, GP50, GP60/M/B, SD75M, B40-8W, C44-9W, C40-8W/C41-8W, SD40-2, GP39-2; BNSF locos; ET44C4, ES44AC/DC, SD70MAC, SD40-2, GP60/M/B, SD75M/I, GP50/GP25, C44-9W/AC44C4M, AC4400CW British Route Ideas: -East Coast Mainline (1960s-70s) with Class 55 Deltic, Class 37, Class 47, Class 08 -Ffestiniog in Wales -Something with Class 70s and other modern freight locos German Route Ideas: -Harz Narrow Gauge: Spirit of Steam
Personally from your US suggestions I would go with Seligman Subdivision, if the older ecml was included, it would prolly end up being York - Newcastle or Peterborough - York. Love the ideas.
Aust: Queensland Rail Caboolture to Roma street. Aust trains: all stops: NGR, IMU 100, EMU. None stop: Tilt Train Japan: Shinkansen Japan trains: Japan Maglev l (top speed 603 KMPH, top service speed: 503 KMPH).
For the Maglev train you are thinking of the Chuo Shinkansen that actually goes under the Japanese Alps. If I were you then Toikaido Shinkansen Nagoya to Kobe via Osaka since it has been in service since the 1964 Tokyo Olympics which was designed for it.
Another day, another "what route(s) do you want" thread even though that's the entire point of the suggestions forum...

Belgium NMBS/SNCB Antwerpen centraal - Bruxelles-Midi New country where they drive also on the left only in TreinTraffic Inspiration from the UK; Certainly a lot to see within not too many kilometers. Return of ETCS in TSW 4 This suggestion (Belgium) has a lot of lines that have already switched from TBL to the new European Train Control System. trains EMU's MS80 BREAK MS96 DMT MR08 Desiro ML Locomotives HLE 18/19 Eurosprinter HLE 27 M7 carriages I11 M6 M7 M4
I would like to see more French stuff. What I would specially like to see: LGV Méditerannée extended or Paris commuter (no matter whether Transilien or RER) or LGV Est européenne Paris - Saarbrücken as I suggested before
I love your suggestion and I believe that Sweden would be a nice country to drive in as they drive on the left side and have amazing scenery.
Agree. I generally think Dovetail Games could also feature other countries than the standard three when introducing a new Train Sim World game.

Eurostar won't give the license, and HS1 won't be recreated for another route anyway. [QUOTE="trainsimpro#8937, post: 828459, member:Southeastern Highspeed Extention to Ramsgate Class 377 Class 395[/QUOTE] Route isn't going to be extended, DTG themselves have said they're done with it. Any "extensions" would instead be an entirely new route altogether.
Any route with York will be a dream come true. e.g Harrogate Line, York-Hull, York-Scarborough, York-Newcastle etc.
What does need adding into tsw is the airedale wharfedale line, leeds to Skipton, Bradford forster square and ilkley.
