First of all this mod contains reworked PIS data for most of the services in the Expansion Pack timetable for Schnellfahrstrecke Köln - Aachen. Even after the route got it's platform departure boards officially, off map destinations for RE 1 and S19 services don't work and the ICs miss all of their off world intermediate stops. With this mod you can explore all the different services to destinations all over Germany. The data for the regional and S-Bahn services also isn't just copy/paste anymore, there are some unique service patterns and final destinations included too. Can you spot them all?
The S-Bahn services also get much more deserved love with this mod. The S6 services formerly ran with the BR 423 now run with the realistic BR 422 (borrowed from HRR). This mod also introduces different final destinations for the S12 and S19 services, in the vanilla version they all go to Au (Sieg) while in reality a majority of the services don't go there. The mod will also enable line numbers for all BR 423 services terminating outside the map.
The RE 8 and RB 27 services that got added in the Expansion Pack timetable use the BR 425 which doesn't have the new destination system yet, this mod manually adds the destinations to all the services so they don't show "Nicht einsteigen" anymore.
Last but not least this mod fixes substitution for the BR 155 and BR 182 on non double header services.
More details about all the different improvments will be in the patch notes below.
Known Issues
- When the vanilla timetable gets an update, this mod likely won't work anymore and has to be remade.
Other than that: Timetable edits are always highly vulnerable for issues. Keep an eye on anything unusual and report the issues to me please.
Special thanks go out to Aran who helped me with all the research for the IC PIS data and provided his advice and opinions.

Disclaimer
The TSW 4 versions of the mod use the "AssetRegistry workaround", a method actively discouraged by DTG. Nevertheless, it currently represents the sole viable approach to ensure the mod functions properly. Please be aware that the mod may cease to function if DTG makes alterations to the add-ons manager or modding procedures. Additionally, there could be unforeseen side effects that escaped notice during testing.

Great work, thank you.
Amazing mod! Adds so much more realism to Köln - Aachen route :)
Good work! However my S19 Duren bound and S12 Horrem bound didn't show the S number , others works well
Yes that’s as „intended“. I sadly weren’t able to add line numbers for the services terminating on the map.
Above all , Thank you so much !
i installed and downloaded everything and it didn't work, i don't know why
when in timetable mode, when i clicked on 'New Journeys Expansion' and then clicked on the DB BR 101 picture to show the timetable for it, it shows only one IC service
the HRR version of this obviously works, but i don't know why this one wont work
i do have all of the dependencies above
is there a way to fix it?
actually the only things that aren't working for me now are the PIS boards, the IC services and the timetable for the different trains
how do i get the mod to work again?
First of all there only is one IC service included in the timetable by default, there's nothing my mod changes with that.
What exactly is not working now with the PIS and the different trains?
And just to make sure: do you play on Steam or Epic?
for your first question, I should check the boards and the trains to see if they are working.
Secondly, I play on Steam.
actually, i got it working now so its fine

Linke Rheinstrecke Timetable: BR 101 Substitution
Patch for Train Sim World · by TaskPlays · 15 Jan 2024
Really great mod! However, despite me owning HRR the 422 does not show up in the train list when selecting the route. I'm not sure why.
The S6 services are AI only.
Ah, thanks!
