Metro simulator forums

Let's do a race.... Ketelplein to Denia. Who will win; the metro via route of M2, M4 and M5, or the tram via the route of T2 and T3?
(Conditions; do not switch off train protection, stop at every station, but no other traffic to get in the way)

I think the tram because the metro will go via the City Centre and takes longer. The tram only goes via Blaak and then goes directly to Denia.

The metro passes Brielselaan first, while the tram is at Rijndamsebaan

When the tram passes Brielselaan, the metro is already at Damplein....



The tram passes Station Blaak.... The metro leaves Nationale Opera:



The tram passes the second bridge, while the metro stops at Beestenmarkt



And the metro loses it; while leaving Rijnkade, the tram is aready way ahead, entering Westwoud



And finish! The tram arrives at Denia , the metro is still on its way ....

You're right!

Cool

Unless the bridge is open

I set the paths for both trains manually all the way before I gave the start signal (well, paths until Westwoud, as it woud be first come first serve there for the single track part). So the bridges where locked shut.

Could you make a video of the T3 from Denia to Garenmarkt (and maybe back to Denia)

Perhaps at a later time. Making a video and editing it takes a lot of time, especially as I have a new computer since the last video, and I'd have to find and re-install all the needed software again. I have higher priorities at the moment.
