    So since there is a sale on, there are 3 routes that I may buy. But have no idea which is the best. I have almost everything. So these 3 are the only ones I dont have. Which is the best route in your opinion out of these?

    EDIT PS5

    If you own Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr and Main-Spessart Bahn, München is the best route. You can drive everything from ICE services to regional services (with Dostos or 425) and many many S-Bahn services

    If you're on a PS4 I'd stay away from the Munchen-Ausburg route. PS4 only gets the ICE and the 423, none of the other layers work on that route. And with only two trains, it gets boring pretty rapidly.
    If you're on a PS5: Muchen-Ausburg

    Awesome good idea. That seems the poll winner anyway.

    Hard to pick since HMA is very different between PS4 & PS5.

    If you’re on PS4 I’d say Hamburg- Lubeck if you like stopping services, but if you want High Speed than it’s LGV.

    enjoy you won’t regret it, maybe LGV next sale if you are being sensible with £

    ham-lub I found to be the worst German route and can’t put my finger on it. Soulless is the only word I’d use..

    I agree with you, I bought it expecting a mega route, but it has little attractiveness, there are no ICE or IC trains (Only a return service with the BR101), I am thinking about buying the TGV in the future, but I'm on the back foot because it's only one locomotive, 3 stations, maybe a little lack of variety. I'm in love with Munich Ausburg, it's one of the best German routes, unfortunately on PS4 there's only S Bahn and ICE, there are no other services, but even so it's a route I've always wanted to buy, when I bought it I didn't regret it, I hope I can have it in the future a PS5 to enjoy other layers.

    tcmikaelsouza glad it’s not just me with regards to Lubeck. Hardly played it since day one should have waited for a sale.

    LGV yes your concerns are valid but it’s a great beast to drive both controls in the cab and the awesome speed that can reached. I return to it often. Most popular route to grind the 10,000 miles mark too.

    And best of luck on your PS5 quest. No idea how the stock is in Brazil and what outlets you can get one from l but hope you manage to enjoy those HMA layers soon.

    Hello friend Tynmar, thanks for your feedback, TGV is a route that is on a future acquisition list, but I would like to see a bigger discount, there is a 20% discount in effect, I still think it's a little high, it already had 35% discount, I will expect to get 30% to 35% discount to buy, your feedback was very enlightening so I can buy it soon.

    As for stocks in Brazil, they are very scarce, in retail stores when there is availability, it soon ends, besides the fact that they are at very high prices, a total disparity with my budget capacity kkkk (not to mention that I got married 4 months ago, so it's hard to get my wife's permission to buy a PS5 kkk).

    Sheldon1000 well the votes are in and I assume you made your purchase some hours ago. How are you enjoying HMA? :)

    tcmikaelsouza congrats on the recent nuptials. Tell the wife all the DLC purchases were made in during a sale so the PS5 console (when stock allows) paid for itself :D

    DTG really missed a trick with HBL, and I suspect they're paying for it in sales term. Instead of taking the opportunity to put out the oft-requested BR 218 - there are to date no mainline German diesels in-game, and the 218 does a lot of work on that line - they just gave us a sped-up 143 (with headlights that really bug some people). With no new rolling stock HBL offered neither interesting scenery nor interesting traffic.

    Don't buy anything until you know it is 100% fixed and fully working
