Service: Beach special Denia - Noordvliet

It's nice, but it will not happen after 2006.

It's for Rijndam 2018...

Well, I'm telling you if there is a Beach Special use (R)SG3 instead.

It can't happen in 2006; the railway tracks end just after Rijndam Buitenvelden.
In 2018/2020, it can happen, but you would have to use the metro lines (Denia - Transferium Rijndijk - Central Station - Nationale Opera - Noorderpoort - Noordvliet).

[Alfacinha315]

Yes, it is possible, just making changes on CVL.

[Alfacinha315]

In 2006 I think it will be possible, after inversion at Rijndam Centraal...

[RotterdamMetroLover]

No, because the train line goes to Buitenvelden, The extension happend in 2018.

A reminder of the 2006 map;

Only on M1 there will be MG2?

Yes, I don't need more; on the first testrun of the AI Weekday activity, I got an error that 6 units type SG2 could not be spawned on the tracks; I defined 64 units in the activity, but only 58 are available. So the 59th trough the 64th could not be spawned. And I haven't even started defining the off-duty rolling stock (the reserves) yet.
By replacing the M1 extra's with MG2's (that's four 4xMG2 consists), I will need 16 less SG2 units. That solves the 6 units over the maximum, and the 10 remaining units which will be available for reserves/maintenance in the depot/workshop.

The M2 rush hour extra's are run from depot Bergenseweg; they will need pantographs in order to exit the depot. I could solve that by using coupled MG2+SG2 units, but with the M1 action, that is not needed anymore.

This is after the fire of the 5201 and 5229.

By the way, I inspired there to make my own Beach Special between Denia and Noordvliet...

Only on summer CP - Comboios de Portugal makes regular connections between Caíde/Penafiel and Ovar, with special trains, in the rest of the year only Aveiro - Porto, Caíde - Porto, Braga - Porto and Guimarães - Porto.

Green schedules: special trains, the remain are regular trains.
