What Are The Cars Number Plates Telling Us?

Just what are the Cars in NiddertalBahn and Linke Hauptestrecke Mainz Koblenz routes telling us?

First up ND (Naverkher Dresden) Or is it F N D Frankfurt......?

Below The White Car shows GWE on the reg plate (Great Western Express)
The Blue car behind it shows LMC (London Medway Chatham, Leeds Manchester, Liverpool Manchester)
The brown Car to the right shows WSR (West Somerset Railway)



The Blue car below shows DTG (Dovetail Games)

Certainly interesting, wouldn’t be the first time they’ve dropped hints on a German route, DCZ on the Dresden reisa tickets that I found

 

It is probably just a nice easter egg.

 

I think the "F", standing for Frankfurt is just there to make it look more authentic as Frankfurt is the closest big city. Also for example, in reality Stockheim today doesn't have it's own letter for license plates, but it's either FB or BÜD. Maybe back in 92, it was just "F".

 

I think it's totally immersive to have number plates on NID starting with F (Frankfurt). I took a screenshot yesterday of a parking lot, there were like 10 cars parked and all of them had not a single duplicate number.

 

It definatley F for Frankfurt. My guess is that ND is simply short for Niddertalbahn, and some cars have 1992 which is the year the route is set.

 

Interesting question and for the license plates they need to be F Frankfurt DD Dresden BO Bochum Hauptstrecke Rhein Ruhr

 

What does that have to do with the topic?

 

The majority of plates ought to read BÜD for Büdingen. At the northwest or Stockheim end you might see some FB (Friedberg), and some Frankfurt (F) are possible around Bad Vilbel, though not registered there. But DTG and GWE are plainly Easter eggs

 

Still, I notice that even the estimable TSG goofed here, putting UK-style yellow plates on the rear. German plates are white on both ends.
