Since December 2021, a 2nd Nightjet has been operating from the Netherlands towards the East. Nightjet 403 from Amsterdam Central to Zurich HB is the new connection
Despite the fact that the OBB is the operator of the Nightjet network, NS International, together with DB Fernverkehr and the SBB, is responsible for the train.
Nightjet 403 consists of only 5 carriages, 3 Couchettes lying carriages and 2 WLABm Sleeping carriages. Nightjet 403 will travel in combination with the Night IC 60403. In addition to the 5 Nightjet cars, 1 first class and 3 2nd class IC cars from the SBB and 4 second class IC cars from the DB are driving along.
 
The scenario consists of 10 parts on different routes. In this first part we start on the HSL Rotterdam - Amsterdam route.
Today you drive the Nightjet 403 all the way from Amsterdam Central to Frankfurt am Main Hbf where the train makes a head and DB Fenverkehr will take over the train to Basel SBB.
 
In this 3rd part you depart from Arnhem Central in the direction of Emmerich. The scenario will end just before Zevenaar for a stop signal.
Part 4 continues on The Betuwe Route
This is a realistic scenario. The player train and all AI Passenger trains will run according to the real 2022 timetable, which will take effect as of December 2021.

n this scenario we go back to the 1980s, where from 1981 the DH1 and DH2 trainsets entered service for the northern Nevenlines in Friesland and Groningen. We go to the year 1985 on a gray cloudy day that turns into a beautiful summer day in the afternoon. You drive train 8635 which runs as an express train from Groningen to Leeuwarden. At that time, 1 slow train per hour ran between Groningen and Leeuwarden, which did not always stop at Visvliet station, and 1 express train per hour. At that time, the railway was a single track and could only be crossed at the stations, which meant that there was limited extra capacity available for freight transport and/or transfer of equipment.
This is a realistic scenario. All passenger trains in the scenario run according to the official timetable from Sunday 2 June 1985 to Saturday 31 May 1986. ATTENTION! This is a 1980s scenario, which means that it also includes Dutch Classics Equipment. This may be too heavy for some computers to play the scenario.

The Intercity's from the 500 series were still running Mat '54 and were slowly replaced by ICM. With a few exceptions, the 700 series was fully finished with ICM. The 8100 series with Mat '64 or Mat '54
In 1987, even more ICM material flowed in and the mat '54 wing train service from the 500 series between Rotterdam / The Hague and Groningen / Leeuwarden was gradually replaced by ICM.
 
The rush hour is about to start and today in the spring of 1987 you can take train 560 from Groningen to Utrecht CS. You hit the road with Mat '54. You take the train first to Zwolle where it is combined with the part from Leeuwarden with destination The Hague CS, then you take the train all the way to Utrecht CS where colleagues will take the trains to Rotterdam CS and The Hague CS.
This is a realistic scenario. All AI passenger trains in the scenario run according to the real NS timetable from Sunday 1 June 1986 to Saturday 30 May 1987
Service schedule for freight trains in the scenario are fictitious.
 
Pay attention!!!
Because this is a realistic 1980s scenario, as much rolling stock as possible was used that actually drove those train series. This means that there is also Dutch Classics equipment in the scenario and it is difficult for some computers to play or the scenario cannot be played. An exception is the train service to Kampen, because there is still no DE-2 (PlanX), it has been replaced in the scenario by the DH-1 and DH-2 (Wadlopers)

In this scenario, you work today in the Cargo and Shunting Service Kiel. In the harbor you have to shunt and pick up a trunk of closed cars for Lübeck. Then you go with the tribe of closed cars to Lubeck.
In this first part we will shunt. Today you are on the road with Ludmilla (BR 232) Good luck!
 
This is a semi realistic scenario. All AI passenger trains run according to the real 2020 timetable in force in Germany. Freight trains in the scenario are fictional.

The Intercity's from the 500 series were still running Mat '54 and were slowly replaced by ICM. With a few exceptions, the 700 series was fully finished with ICM. The 8100 series with Mat '64 or Mat '54

You take the train first to Zwolle where it is combined with the part from Leeuwarden with destination The Hague CS, then you take the train all the way to Utrecht CS where colleagues will take the trains to Rotterdam CS and The Hague CS.
This is a realistic scenario. All AI passenger trains in the scenario run according to the real NS timetable from Sunday 1 June 1986 to Saturday 30 May 1987

In this scenario you are en route with a freight train from Mannheim Rangierbahnhof to Hamburg-Veddel.
You have arrived in Lüneburg, where you have come to a stop at a stop signal. You have to wait for intersection with an IC from Westerland. Then you can continue driving.
On the way near Marchen you have to disconnect a few cars, these will later continue with another train. In Hamburg - Veddel you have to park the loco for a while and then take the official car to the location.
 
This is a realistic scenario, and a little bit fictional. All AI passenger trains run according to the real timetable that will be in effect in Germany in 2020.
The timetable of the Cargo AI trains and the player train in this story are fictional.

In this scenario, drive the 2D71 London Overground stopping service from London Euston to Watford.
You drive the Class 313. There are no details except that it is very busy. Good luck.

This is a realistic scenario that will take place in 2019. All trains that you encounter in the scenario run according to the real timetable that was in force in the UK in 2019.
To play this scenario you must be in possession of the West Coast Mainline South route

Summer in 1985 when the new timetable 1985 / 1986 came into effect.
In this scenario you drive the Stoptrein 7855 from Apeldoorn all the way to Winterswijk. The rush hour has started and it is a bit busy in Zutphen with the settlement of the trains after a minor disruption.
For the rest it promises to be a normal ride without extra details. Good luck.
 
This is a realistic scenario. All AI passenger trains run according to the real timetable  from June 2, 1985 to May 31, 1986
The timetables of the AI Freight trains in the scenario are fictitious.
 
PAY ATTENTION!! The scenario contains some trains from Dutch Classics. That can be tough for some computers.

[2019 - Cross Country] 1C11 Bristol Temple Meads - Plymouth (Full Version) DTG
 
In dit scenario ben je in dienst bij Cross Country Rail met standplaats Bristol - Barton Hill W.R.D. Je hebt een vroege dienst vandaag. Nadat je hebt gemeld voor de dienst en de publicatieborden hebt gelezen en kopje koffie hebt genomen is het tijd om naar je toegewezen treinstel te gaan. De motoren zijn al door een depot machinist opgestart en er is als een grote remproef genomen, een kleine remproef is voldoende voor vertrek.  Je hebt ruim 5 minuten de tijd om jezelf te instaleren en het treinstel klaar te maken. Je mag pas om 6:20 het depot uit rijden. Daarna vertrek je naar spoor 1 waar de rest van het treinpersoneel gereed staat. Je begint je dient met de Cross Country Intercity service naar Plymouth. Na een pauze ga je met een Intercity service naar Aberdeen via Bristol en brengt de trein Birmingham. Na een pauze in Birmingham rij je nog een keer een ritje tot aan Bristol Temple Meads waar je dienst voor de dag zal eindigen. 
 
In dit scenario rijdt je met een Voyager Class 220 van Bristol - Temple Meads naar Plymouth. Je stopt op station Taunton, Tiverton Parkway, Exeter St. Davids, Newton Abbot, Totness en Plymouth.
 
Dit is een realistisch scenario. Alle treinen in het scenario rijden volgens de echte dienstregeling van 2019 die in The UK van kracht was. Ook heb ik zoveel mogelijk de juiste trein types erbij gezocht zover het mogelijk was. In dit scenario is gebruik gemaakt van de Class 220 Voyager van DTG
 
 
 

In this scenario we go back to the 1970s. Until the arrival of the DH-1 and DH-2 trains, the train service between Groningen and Leeuwarden, also known as the Wadlopers, was the domain of DE-3 trainsets Plan U. Due to maintenance and previous problems, there is currently too little Plan U rolling stock available and the stop and express train services are partly operated with other rolling stock. Today you are driving train 8649 with two coupled DE-2 trainsets from Leeuwarden to Groningen on a spring day of 1977.

This is a realistic scenario. All passenger trains run according to the real timetable from May 30, 1976 to May 21, 1977. Any freight trains are fictitious. NB! :It is a 1970s scenario and therefore also contains Dutch Classics equipment, which may be too heavy for some computers.

In this two-part scenario you drive the BRB RE 5 from Munich Hbf to Salzburg. In this first part you will drive on DTG's München-Rosenheim route from Munich to Rosenheim where this part will end. The second part continues RSSLO's Salzburg-Rosenheim route.

This is a realistic scenario. All AI passenger trains in the scenario will run according to the real 2022 timetable in effect in Germany.
The timetables of the freight trains in the scenario are fictitious. If you do not have a certain type of train or wagon, you can replace it yourself with, for example, RW-Tools for something else.

Backgroundinformation
On April 15, 2010, the Public Transport Bureau of the Federal State of Bavaria, “die Bayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft (BEG)”, announced the tender for the "E-Netz Rosenheim". The E-Netz Rosenheim concession includes the RE 5 from München Hbf to Salzburg Hbf v.v., RB 54 from München Hbf to Kufstein v.v. and the RB 58 from Munich to Rosenheim via Holzkirchen v.v.

On December 9, 2010, Veolia Transport Deutschland (formerly Connex-grupe) was awarded a 12-year contract starting December 15, 2013 to take over from DB Regio AG Bayern and operate the E-Netz Rosenheim. Veolia subsidiary Bayerische Oberlandbahn GmbH operated the train services under the name Meridian. The Holzkirchen-based BOB has been operating the RB 55, 56, and 57 from Munich to Holzkirchen for some time, where the train splits into three to travel via the diesel network through the Bavarian Alphen to the final destinations of Bayrischzell, Lenggries and Tegernsee. After Veolia-Environment had moved out of rail and road transport, the BOB is now a subsidiary of Transdev.

In the spring of 2020, it was announced that instead of the three brands BRB, BOB and Meridian, only one would be used in the route networks of the Bayerischer Oberlandbahn and Bayerischer Regiobahn: "Bayerische Regiobahn", or BRB for short. Since June 2020, the E-Netz Rosenheim, formerly known as the Meridian network, has been operated as the Chiemgau-Inntal network under the name Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB).

Since December 2021, a 2nd Nightjet has been operating from the Netherlands towards the East. Nightjet 403 from Amsterdam Central to Zurich HB is the new connection
Despite the fact that the OBB is the operator of the Nightjet network, NS International, together with DB Fernverkehr and the SBB, is responsible for the train.
Nightjet 403 consists of only 5 carriages, 3 Couchettes lying carriages and 2 WLABm Sleeping carriages. Nightjet 403 will travel in combination with the Night IC 60403. In addition to the 5 Nightjet cars, 1 first class and 3 2nd class IC cars from the SBB and 4 second class IC cars from the DB are driving along.
 
The scenario consists of 10 parts on different routes. In this first part we start on the HSL Rotterdam - Amsterdam route.
 
Today you drive the Nightjet 403 all the way from Amsterdam Central to Frankfurt am Main Hbf where the train makes a head and DB Fenverkehr will take over the train to Basel SBB.
It is now quite dark outside and you are already well on your way, via Emmerich towards Oberhausen and Duisburg you arrive in this 5th part at Düsseldorf Hbf station. After a stop In Düsseldorf you leave for Köln Hbf. You can use the PSB-90. If the signal shows stop, call the Fahrtdienstleitung for permission
This is a realistic scenario. The player train and all AI Passenger trains will run according to the real 2022 timetable, which will take effect as of December 2021. Freight train timetables are fictitious.

Since 25 May 2021, a night train has been running to and from the Netherlands for the first time after the disappearance of the City Night line. The ÖBB, in collaboration with NS-International and DB Fernverkher, provides a daily Nightjet connection from Amsterdam Central to Innsbruck and Vienna. NS-International brings the train from Amsterdam Central to Köln-West. Usually with a Vectron BR 193 with stops at Utrecht Central, Arnhem Central, Düsseldorf Hbf, and Köln Hbf. On Köln-West, the ÖBB takes over the train from NS-International, usually with a Taurus BR 1116. On some days, the ÖBB starts in Achen Hbf where the nightjet from Brussels-South is taken over from the NMBS. After stops at Bonn Hbf, Koblenz Hbf, Mainz Hbf, Frankfurt Flughaven, Frankfurt am Main - Süd, and Würzburg Hbf Nürnberg Hbf is reached.

DB Fernverkehr starts with a Nightjet in Hamburg-Altona. This Nightjet also consists of two parts. Part for Vienna and part for Innsbruck. There are also 3 cars on this train to Innsbruck. The traction is usually provided by a BR 101. After stops at Hamburg-Damtor, Hamburg Hbf, Hannover Hbf, Göttingen and Würzburg, Nürnberg Hbf is reached.

Both trains will be separated at Nürnberg. The cars from Brussels, Amsterdam and Hamburg with destination Vienna will be merged as one new train. The ÖBB loco will drive this train to Vienna and stops on the way at Regensburg Hbf, Passau Hbf, Wels Hbf, Linz Hbf, St. Pölten Hbf and ends at station Wien Hbf.

The cars from Amsterdam, Brussels and Hamburg and the 3 car cars with destination Innsbruck will also be merged into one new train composition and the DB loco from Hamburg will take this train to Munich Hbf. The train will only stop at Augsburg Hbf en route. At Munich Hbf the train turns and another OBB loco will take over the train from DB Fernverkher. After stops at Rosenheim, Kufstein, Wörgl Hbf, and Jenbach, Innsbruck Hbf is reached.

The screenplay consists of several parts. It is a realistic scenario and all passenger trains in the scenario run according to the real timetable of 2022. In this 7th part it starts to get morning. We pick up the scenario in Koblenz Hbf. When you are ready you can leave. This journey continues on the left Rheinstrecke via Andernach, Remagen and Bonn Hbf to Köln-West. At Köln-West, the carriages for Amsterdam Central will be uncoupled and NS-International will take the train to Amsterdam Central via Köln Hbf, Düsseldorf, Arnhem and Utrecht. After the cars have been disconnected, you take the train to Aachen Hbf where the NMBS/SNCB will take over the train to take the train further to Brussels-South. This part will end just outside Köln-West.
