About This Content The S1 Line of the Hamburg S-Bahn is the city’s second largest, initially traversing the outskirts before diving into the heart and serving many locations including the nearby international airport. This historic line originated in the early 1900s, and still aids in the movement of people day in and day out. Take command of the ever-busy ‘Mass Transit Metro’ over the Hamburg S1 S-Bahn for Train Simulator!Life, for what would become known as the Hamburg S-Bahn, began in 1906 with the opening of Hamburg Hbf where steam hauled services would run between Blankenese and the city itself. Despite the railway tracks in this area were not exactly ‘new’, this is the first time that they had been used in ‘rapid-transit’ style operations; as such, the new usage came under the name of the Hamburg-Altona Urban and Suburban Railway.Extensions of the suburban service quickly followed, allowing connections with Hasselbrook and Ohlsdorf on the eastern face of Hamburg. It was also around this time when the decision was taken to electrify the line, by 1907, electric trains were utilising the, once current, overhead catenary throughout the city. It was at this point, when electricity was the source of motive power that the line fell into what could be categorised as an S-Bahn today. It would not be until 1924 that the Hamburg S-Bahn was so-named however, this occurred once the old Alster Valley Railway to Poppenbüttel was acquired and the route to Wedel was on-lease for suburban use.By the 1930s, it was decided that the Hamburg S-Bahn could benefit from re-electrification, this time however, using 1200 V third rail. Similar in most respects to the Berlin S-Bahn, the introduction of third rail would provide more versatile power needs as trains and services got faster. The under-side contact method was chosen as standard, and the line saw a whole 450 V increase of Berlin’s offering, to further improve acceleration and performance. By 1939, all overhead was abandoned and third rail dominated the line. It would not be until 1959 that the line to Wedel was acquired and electrified.In 1965, the Hamburg S-Bahn numbering scheme came into play and saw Wedel – Poppenbüttel, the second longest S-Bahn route, become known as the S1 Line. While the line has held a key importance throughout its life, be it steam powered, overhead-populated or otherwise, it was not until 2008 that the mere purpose of the line would change for the busier. An extension was built out of Ohlsforf station and headed westbound, only one station was on the new spur – Hamburg International Airport, the Airport Shuttle was born. Services would now split to serve Poppenbüttel and the Airport simultaneously, and naturally, a connection with the Airport has seen the S1 become even more vital to the growth of business and tourism within and surrounding Hamburg.The Hamburg S1 S-Bahn features the 45 km route from Wedel to Poppenbüttel and Hamburg Airport as an extension to the existing 64 km Hamburg Lübeck Railway (also included in this single route totaling more than 100km of German railway).The DB BR 474 Plus EMU is also included as key modern traction to the Hamburg S1 line; the traction included in Hamburg-Lübeck, DB BR 218, DB BR 145, DB BR 294 and associated rolling stock.Included Locomotives & Rolling StockDB BR 474 Plus in Deutsche Bahn Traffic Red LiveryDB BR 218 in Deutsche Bahn Traffic Red LiveryDB BR 145 in Deutsche Bahn Traffic Red LiveryDB BR 294 in Deutsche Bahn Traffic Red LiveryDB Doppelstockwagen in Deutsche Bahn Traffic Red LiveryIncluded ScenariosThe Hamburg S1 S-Bahn Route Add-on includes seven challenging career scenarios and three Railfan Mode scenarios:Career Scenarios:Touring the S1Hitting the HammaOktoberfest ContributionOvernight to AltonaHansa TimeJust in Time for ChristmasOut of Stockplus 3 Railfan Mode Scenarios.More scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

How does such obvious errors and so many get past any competent beta testing program?. This is a beautiful route, however there are issues with the underground part with not being able to see the train in the stations without knowing when it's time to leave the station. Also speed issues with going from 60mhp to 40mhp without Hud notification thru the entire route, and why 40mhp through the underground part of the ride and 60mhp otherwise. Please fix these issues. I would not recomend this Add-On reason:after numerous reinstallation attemps the ingame station of Wedel looks like this.... http:\/\/prntscr.com\/jqt3td , frankly i havent been to Wedel station that often since i live around 2 hours away from it and id have to cross through the center of hamburg to get there. Nethertheless I cant remember of the Station and its sourroundings looking like this.I once on initial release was able to use this DLC the way it was supposed to but there are points that let this DLC down as numerous other people have already stated the train 474\/+ and the classic 474 (seperate DLC) lack indepth controls the sounds are underwhelming and slightly dull... not like in the real world. The driving characteristics of the the trains is off par good rapid acceleration but poor braking performance which is just not realistic.The Route itself is pretty accurate except for the lack of lights in the stations of the S3-Tunnel (where the S1 also operates on) aswell as lack of animations or quite liturally the bother of the devs clean finish the stations... once again not impressed by Dovetails work and again it seems like a money grab.As soon as you choose the Pantograph version of the 474\/474+ the route stations seem to change to the Hamburg-L\u00fcbeck routes stations wich i have but not installed but still shows them not the S1 routes Stations.... http:\/\/prntscr.com\/jqtaoqI have already contacted support and they either blame my computer and I dont meet the requirements (eventhough my system is way above the minimum requiremts of the game and DLC) or they say they cant help me.... DTG-Support in my eyes has pretty much always had the worst support of gaming devs beating EA by a landslide.. My conclusion, unless your a big fan of the german Suburban rail network in Hamburg, buy it. I would highly not recommend this route and if you need help for the game dont count on DTG support theyve given up with TrainSimulator for TSW and are just using TS2018 to cash grab.. Not sure if it's just my graphics settings, but the Passenger View doesn't work - the whole carraige is missing. And passengers on platform walk straight through the walls, when the doors are not open. Doesn't give a good impression.. While I was looking forward for this route, I am quite disappointed after I ran my first scenario. + High Visual Standards: As usual, the route and used assets look quite good. - Signalling errors: 1.) I encountered a single flashing green signal, which in Germany together with a speed table shows an upcoming speed limit. In this case it was flashing green, but without any further indication. Not existent in Germany, so I was quite confused how to interpret it. 2.) No speed limit warnings- Train Brakes 3.) Way to weak brakes. It is close to impossible to get this train to a standstill as it's supposed to be. All in all I found several severe issues with the details of this route. While it does look good, those problems make this route and train seem unfinished and rushed. As an owner of Hamburg-Luebeck I got a discount of 40%. With some fixes it might become better, but for now I've requested a refund. No recommondation at this time.. Good map. But as others have stated some of the signals are incorrect or in incorrect spaces. Some signals show with no other indicators behind the green when they should be green with yellow to indicate that you should be reducing your speed for an upcoming speed reduction. As a result you're abruptly coming into those sections speeding at the prior speed limit and lose massive amounts as a result. This needs to be fixed to give players the full potential of route that it obviously has. It can get laggy at times due to being resource intensive. But I can overlook that. I don't get the brake problems that others reported about the 474Plus. As some others have said you do also have to the mechanical brake along with the throttle\/brake combo lever. The full Hamburg-Lubeck route with complete scenarios is indeed included within the S1 download. This is why folks who already had Hamburg-Lubeck got big discounts for the S1 route. SO it does make the purchase worth the money, especially if you buy the route as part of the package that includes the DB 114 loco addon. The main and only con for me right now is the incorrect signals at spots in the S1 scenarios that cause big point deductions for speeding. As a result of that I can only give this route 8\/10. Otherwise I can still recommend it for its potential after fixing the signal flaws and for including the complete Hamburg-Lubeck route for those who don't already have that route..
