Hondwijk aan Zee, getting ready for the next touristic season

I think it would be nice, if a new texture is made for sea which would be more blue than this one, which is for rivers

At Hondwijk aan Zee, there once was a trainferry connection..... But these are not in use anymore. A short section of track at the docks remains (no longer connected to the main network) as a memory of the past.

[AlistairCowell]

The train ferry route is very likely to be Hondwijk aan Zee - Harwich route back in the day.

Harwich is located in England and used to have a train ferry terminal, as well as Dover Western Docks in south-east England.
Both have since been closed down with the advent of the Channel Tunnel route, completed in 1994.

(Regarding 10:56 in video) Welp, now we know where Simvliet is!

[AlistairCowell]

Simvliet is now officially located south of Rijndam.

This means that Intercity trains services to Simvliet would go through Vierdik and Hemlo. Train services to Breda and Eindhoven is also most likely.
And trains heading north via Rijndam Westplein are more likely to be Rijndam to Amsterdam Intercity services.

It is hinted that High Speed services would be running from Zeeburg to Simvliet.

Actually, you leave Rijndam on the south side to go to Zeeburg, and then head east/northeast towards Hondwijk aan Zee, where the new line starts as you have seen in the video. From there, a line has been build that is already longer in kilometers then the Ypenburg to Zeeburg HSL, which will be in a later video. Observant viewers might already have noticed a clue to its nature in the last video

So are the 2 maps being merged?

So are the 2 maps being merged?

Not possible right now I'm afraid

[AlistairCowell]

Is Hondwijk aan Zee supposed to be on the west coast? Confusing for me.
Perhaps a rail map of the Rijndam 2022 would be a lot helpful.
