Train Simulator: Hamburg-Hanover Route Add-On DLC

I am suprised about how good this route looks, especially when the route is from TS2013. However i am a little bit disapointed about that they did NOT includ Hamburg Altona, since that will be good for scenarios. But, i will recommend it. It's a good route and again especially when it's from TS2013. Well done!

one of the best routes ... the scenario called 'snowy winters day' is at night after 10:00 pm for some unknown reason and you drive the ICE in a snow storm ... long route ... the sky gets darker after you get out of the city ... different speeds and two red signals if i remember ... maybe the best route

One of the best routes I've ever played on! Nicely detailed, highly accurate route and well made trains! Contains everything you ever need! From big passenger stations to huge freight terminals and even small industry spur tracks! One main thing I hate is that I get a 200 KM/H restriction and after 1-2 kilometres I get a 160 KM/H restriction. But that's even true to real life!

I think the route is pretty impressive, it has a great Highspeed section and what's really great, The Jet train from Christrains can really work on this route. The only downside is that the ICE 2 after the Highspeed section the ICE kicks PZB in, also the BR 101 which is delevered with this route doesn't have any rolling sound at all. Edit 5/9/2023: This route is bugged, especially in Free Roam Mode where after Veddel there is a section of 120 km/h. When driving towards Hamburg Hbf some junction sends me around for whatever reason. With any train from Christrains the safety system warns me that I have to drive 80 km/h and within seconds the speed in the Hud changes and I get thrown to the track on the right and then back to the track I was driving on. I try to make it to 120 km/ h before the upcoming 80 km/h zone but I have to little time and before I know it I approach Hamburg and I have to start driving 80 km/h which really is not good for any train to get thrown from one track back to the track you were driving on. FIX THIS PLEASE!

If you like German routes, you won't be disappointed with this one. It's the first to use the more advanced caternary system. It has LZB and both long distance passengers runs and cargo hauls. It has good performance, especially compared to later German routes. The only downside is, once again, DTG failure to implement the PZB system 100% correct for the whole route. Still it's a lot better compared to other German routes. [Edit 4-5-2017]: Fixed typos.

This is a very good route, it features slow stopping services loads of freight and high-speed trains! What more can you want? Slow amarican trains?

Quite long, quite fast, quite good overall. Definitely worth the £10 price you can get it for in the sale.

A very nice and very long 156 km/96mi route which will keep you busy for an hour in the ICE2. Max speed on this route is 200 km/h (120 mph) and is governed by the LZB system. The Hanover and Hamburg stations/cities are very well modeled and the big plus here is that this isn't much of a hit on frame rates. I have the draw distance set to 60/70% which makes a heap of difference in frame rates. This is because the simulator has to load smaller chunks of data to render the next part of the route thus having to invest less effort to do so. Some routes show this. You see the horizon being built up. But on this route this is really acceptable. You don't really notice it. And that makes for a very pleasant experience. The scenery in between the two cities is beautiful. I had multiple emergency stops because the SIFA system kicked in while I was outside taking pictures. One of my favorite routes thus far. Cheers!

This is one of the best routes for Train Simulator. It gives opportunity for many diverse train operations: high speed, long distance passenger, freight, shunting. The route is great for HUD-less driving, as all speed restrictions have warning boards. With enormous number of loco DLC available, it is a good start for a large German collection. The main gripe I have is that the route lacks its both landmark trains: Metronom and BR424. To enjoy it fully you thus have to add 28€ to its price.

[b]Nederlandse versie hier beneden.[/b] Over the years, Train Simulator has added a lot of routes. You can think about this whatever you like, but every now and then there is a real jewel between them. The Hamburg-Hanover route is such a jewel. And although this route dates from 2013, it hasn't lost any of its popularity. The route is long and varied, with numerous large and small stations and freight yards. The DB ICE 2 and the powerful DB Class 101 are included to drive the high-speed route. Speaking of which, the maximum speed is 'only' 200 km / h. The trains can do faster than this. Shunting work is provided by the DBAG Class 294. If you want to expand your collection, this route is highly recommended. Apparently the developers have really done their utmost and you encounter just a few irregularities. But I keep wondering why the city name [i]Hanover[/i] is used, in stead of [i]Hannover[/i]. However, one thing has become clear to me. The Deutsche Bahn should not let me drive this high-speed route in real life. It's guaranteed I will arrive a couple of minutes late at my destination. Rating: 9/10. [b]Nederlandse versie.[/b] Door de jaren heen heeft Train Simulator er heel wat routes bij gekregen. Je kunt hiervan vinden wat je wilt, maar af en toe zit er een echt pareltje tussen. De Hamburg-Hanover route is zo'n pareltje. En al stamt deze route uit 2013, het heeft nog niets aan populariteit in hoeven boeten. De route is lang en afwisselend, met talrijke grote en kleine stations en goederenemplacementen. De DB ICE 2 en de krachtige DB Class 101 worden meegeleverd om het hogesnelheidstraject te rijden. Overigens is de maximale snelheid 'slechts' 200 km/h. Genoemde treinen kunnen sneller dan dat. Rangeerwerk wordt verzorgd door de DBAG Class 294. Wil je je routeverzameling uitbreiden, dan is Hamburg-Hanover een heuse aanrader. De ontwikkelaars hebben er blijkbaar echt hun best op gedaan en je stuit dan ook op slechts weinig onregelmatigheden. Het blijft voor mij wel een raadsel waarom de naam [i]Hanover[/i] wordt gebruikt, in plaats van [i]Hannover[/i]. Eén ding is me echter wel duidelijk geworden. De Deutsche Bahn moet mij dit hogesnelheidstraject in het echie niet laten rijden. Ik kom gegarandeerd steevast minimaal drie minuten te laat aan op de eindbestemming. Waardering: 9/10.
