Have you tried using it?
As I re-arranged the central station square in Rijndam 2022, that area has become quite a bit lighter on your computer then in Rijndam 2020.

Okay, As I am doing some alterations for RIjndam 2022 v1.2 anyway (in order to make the tram network more usable for the three unidirectional tram types I'll be releasing)...
Who else would like a re-design of the Central Station Loop?

Reason for this question; When making an activity for the Toronto trams (with an extra CS-Garenmarkt service), I found that having 2 tram platforms at the Central Station loop is no big luxury. But as these trams have only doors on one side, I can't use the inner track of the current loop (unless I start using the loop in both directions, which is not my favorite option).
So I can either;
1) Make the inner track a little bit tighter, so I can get the platform for that track to the right side. Or;
2) Redesign the entire loop.

I found that option 2 is possible, and doing it without the under-the-station tram-tunnel, if I use 30m radius turns. A bit too tight to my taste, but the departing turn in the current loop features this radius too.

Redesign the loop, will there be a loop at Garenmarkt?

And how will that look like?

Look back 1 page in this topic.

The new CS tram platforms;



The old loop has been removed, and replaced by a loop that's completely in the open. To make this happen, one bus platform had to be removed; the loop crosses the bus platform directly behind the photographer of the picture above ( ), and makes a U-turn to the left.

The new loop;
