Re: Next Map

I mean yeah, could be cool, but it's litteraly the longest tram route in the world and I don't think most people here have a computer that's capable to load 68km of track at once (assuming it does load at once), so probably won't happen :lol: This comment will not age well next year. 8-) I had to b...

Re: Next Map

That's why we use overhead conductor rail instead of wires when it comes to tunnels for light rail transit nowadays. Don't need two different methods of collecting electricity from two different sources; pantograph vs 3rd rail (at least in America where we are greedy with our money :P)

Re: Train suggestion

make this tram: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/warehouse/v1.0/publiccontent/13107501-5fc5-4602-8699-f616eb0cd11f Please stop with pointless suggestions. This is a low quality model, lacking interior, making it unsuitable for inclusion. It's almost easier to make it from scratch than to import thi...

Re: Next Map

The Flexity Swift are very well light rail vehicles. It's just Rotterdam's versions have 3rd rail shoes for obvious reasons.

Re: Next Map

It doesn‘t make it to a different type of lightrail, it just makes it fitting more into MSB. Exactly my point and what I've been pushing for for the last 7 years. The closest we've gotten to the quality of light rail rapid transit is Line T3 of Rijndam and Line 11 of Hageningen. I do have some frie...

Re: Next Map

A typical lightrail in europe can have both metro and tram sections, Same as America but the average lightrail has many street sections. That might be a European thing. Light rail transit in America tends to try and avoid street running when it isn't necessary such as if there's a corridor that can...

Re: Next Map

I never said its not a lightrail…. You're missing the point. It‘s just different to normal lightrails. And…there is much difference, especially when you look at typical lightrails like the U5 in frankfurt. Maybe you're speaking about Europe as light rail is typically a dominantly tram/streetcar ser...

Re: Next Map

It’s still a bit different. Our Network is different to most other lightrail networks because it has only 6 stations on one line with street sections. The rest of the network is always on its own tracks, sometimes with crossings and sometimes like a real Metro / Subway. Frankfurt is branded U-Bahn ...

Re: Next Map

That’s correct It is a Lightrail but with the difference that it has more Subway / Metro sections and stations than usual lightrails. It should have even more Subway / Metro parts but 💰… The reason for the name „U-Bahn Frankfurt“ is there for a reason. It was meant to be a full U-Bahn network. Whic...
