Custom Simvliet 2021 Map

Post by Cirkellijn »

Hello,
As i couldnt find any "Artwork" or "Custom Fan Creations" Topic and this isnt a Screenshot or Video from the actual Game, i just decided to start an own Topic for this. So basically, i made a custom Map for Simvliet in 2021. This is NOT a Suggestion for the Game (thus not in "Suggestions/Ideas" Topic) but only my Impression of an upgraded Simvliet Network.

Image

Major Changes i made is completing the Railway Line, that just ends abpruptly after Delfsblaak in the 2020 Version. It now runs through some Countryside Villages and eventually ends up in Hageningen, where theres also a Dead-End Railway Track in Simvliet 2020. Theres also a Branch off into the "Dutch Channel Tunnel" for a possible Connection to the Rijndam Map.

Theres also a new short Metro Line D, which is operating the Line between Oostpark and Delfsblaak. Line C is now terminating at Oostpark, because this Station has 3 Tracks. Also, the "weird" Loop of Line C between Airport and Centraal has been built back, as Line C already stops at Centrum, which is literally right besides Centraal. Lines A and B now end at Centrum and not Airport. The former Light Rail Line D is now Line E, as it was inspired by the real Rotterdam/Den Haag Metro Line E. Inspired by Sjoerds Rijndam i also added an automatic Airport Shuttle Line to Simvliets Airport.

I also made some Minor Changes, like removing some Stops from the Tram in Hageningen, giving the Lines new Colours and renaming some Stations. Anyways, feel free to discuss about the Map or suggest new Things. Im open for Suggestions and of course also critisism. Thank you for your Attention!

Greetings, Cirkellijn

You should check the official map as the scale is completely off, Delfsblaak is nowhere near Hageningen. And you missed a station as well.

Here's the actual map of the Rijndam and Simvliet area:

The line to the east from Essim takes you to the the rest of the Netherlands and beyond.
The line north west of Rijndam Buitenvelden at Rijndam is a mystery.

There are other mistakes too, like Ypenburg an Vierdijk being in the Simvliet side while they're in the Rijndam island :D

I finished a Re-Done Version today; The Map is now more geographically correct, although Delfsblaak still seems nearer to Hageningen then it is. The Mapping Software sadly doesnt allow wider Maps, so i couldnt do it 1:1 Scale. Anyways, the Railway Network is now fixed. The Stops that are on the Rijndam Side were replaced by new ones. I wasnt very creative with these Names though. Two Stops on the Tram Line in Hageningen and the Line C Loop (Airport - Centraal) have been left out at Purpose and (as i already said in the first Version) some Stops were renamed.

Thats the finished Version "0.2" with all the Extensions i made in the first one. Light blue Metro Line D and Airport Shuttle are also still there. :)

The committee would like the place a rental car center near the Business District and Lot E-F at the airport.

Why is the link between Simvliet Airport and Simvliet Centraal removed? How are you going to transport passagers to the station that was in between there?

Exactly, I don't get these changes. They reduce the capacity resulting in overcrowded trains and increase travel times by having to change trains unnecessarily. Also it interferes with possible future extensions.
