we need high speed trains
can someone thought that we need from Rijndam to Zeeburg and reverse high speed trains? for example TGV or others
Re: we need high speed trains
TGV won't work. The high speed track between Rijndam and Zeeburg is way to short for a TGV to reach it's top speed, you will probably not even reach 250km/h before you have to slow down again. And the Zeeburg - Essim tunnel is not suitable for high speed either due to tight curves. So basically there is no track where you can drive a TGV at it's top speed.

Re: we need high speed trains
high sped trains go many miles (hundereds even) without stopping, this isnt possuble in msb ypenburg to zeeburg takes 5 mins u dont get any high speed trains in real life that have stops that take 5 mins/ every 3-4 miles or so
My youtube channel containing several Metro sim videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCep1Mi ... sBZ9B0lwWA
Re: we need high speed trains
You will need to have 25 kilometers of track to reach 300km/h, plus 5 kilometers of track for every minute you want to maintain this speed. So that is 50km for 5 minutes of 300km/h or 100km for 15 minutes of high speed driving. That is a lot of route editor work for a very short journey, so I doubt there will be any high speed routes coming to this game.

Re: we need high speed trains
HSM is a fictional high-speed train, arn't they? Their maximum speed is 250 Km/h.

Re: we need high speed trains
If I'm correct, there isn't any dedicated route currently that give enough distance between stations on the metro network where the HSM could be considered "high-speed". I would say the closest option is of course the TRAXX since it goes about the speed you're looking for in the channel tunnel section.

Re: we need high speed trains
I agree that there isn't any need for a >=300kmh high speed train (this is METRO simulator anyway), but we could do with some 200kmh trains, for example the NS ICNG or the BR class 43/80x.
However that'll depend on whether the devs want to do then or whether they have the time to make.

Re: we need high speed trains
Something like the ICNG or Eurostar would be perfect, especially since the Eurostar was designed to run through the real-life Channel Tunnel (The speed of ICNG is also perfect, since it reaches 200km/h on the Rijndam HSL, and looks better than the HSM trains)

Re: we need high speed trains
ICNG would be possible, but not the Eurostar because of the reasons already explained above
