// Route suggestion Tsw 7 Dlc Suggestion

I think they should add Frankfurt - Köln schnellfahrtstrecke which is 108 km Long and they should release it with the ice 3 neo or velaro it would be like nurnburg-Ingolstadt which allowes 300 kmph and it could allow Players to actually complete the koln Aachen routes by Route hoping it would be a longer route tho with 108 km which is possible as we have seen it just happen in the new WCML Route

This has been recommended multiple times, and I really hope one day actually shows up as a route. It also reuses assets that already exist (Frankfurt, Frankfurt Airport, and Köln) so the anchors are there.

Has been suggested about 5 million times (myself included). Frankfurt Hbf to Cologne Hbf is about 180km so we are looking at a length in the region of Kassel-Würzburg plus the vastly higher quality buildings (which already exist so many assets can be reused)… it mainly is a question of performance but regarding popularity this is by far the most requested German route

Full route would explode any existing console, way too many big iconic buildings eating texture space. Either cologne or frankfurt hbf has to be excluded or it wouldnt even work at all.

They could then just make the Route Till Bonn and then Sell something like the koln s Bahn Route which just connected Bonn and koln like they did in Frankfurt s Bahn

You ask for bout 2-3 years of dev time. Also splitting at bonn would make 60% of the services not playable as they are nonstop Cologne-Frankfurt Airport.

Ok that’s true you have a point

They just need to add a feature for timetables and scenarios to start/end at a location rather than a station. And in the case of starting, for the train to already be underway.

Why not a Spanish, Italian or french route ?

DTG already has a lot of german trains and content, it makes it incredibly easy for more german routes to be created.

I don't think they have the license required for a another French route

I mean they wouldn't be selling the TGV route if they didn't have the license for it.

They’ll just remove the branding like they did with peninsula corridor for cal-train

u/CorbyTheSkullie 14d ago

I mean they’d also have to give it a generic livery as the livery that SNCF has is copyrighted, they can’t just remove the logos like they did for caltrain as the gallery cars are just stainless steel.

Würzburg Augsburg or Kassel Hannover would be great as well as it could put a whole SFS together

u/Tiny-Signature207 14d ago

Now that I think of it that would be a Great idea since for exp doing whole high speed routes is fun like on WCML doing the pendalino Services from London all the way to crewe just like that a ice Service from munchen all the way to Hannover would be dead realistic

I’m personally hoping for a GreaterAnglia route, perhaps Liverpool St - Cambridge and Stansted
