About this mod

Provides a 24-hour timetable for TSW 4 on the route Cologne-Aachen. It's modelled after the real traffic on Sep 13, 2023. Currently work-in-progress with 3/24 hours fully finished.

Permissions and credits
Currently work-in-progress with 3/24 (11, 15, 16) hours fully finished and many services already around midnight as well as all IC/ICE services.

What can you expect and how does it differ from the status quo?
  • looping timetable: seamless transition from before to after midnight
  • all passenger services running on September 13, 2023 with compatible rolling stock will be included (some only as AI)
  • real times as much as possible (that makes some services very hard as there is little prep time)
  • freight services that use loops and require waiting sometimes up to 10 minutes
  • freight services that are following a real timetable with respect to rough times and loadout (timetable was only for portion from Aachen
    West to Belgium and back so the times for Cologne-Aachen are guesswork)
What lines/services will be playable?
  • RE 1 between Cologne-Aachen with Talent 2 as stand-in for Desiro HC
  • RE 9 between Cologne-Aachen with mix of Talent 2 and Dosto+146
