We're close to the release of the Riesa-Dresden route which takes us into the final third of the Rush Hour season ticket. The anticipated wait before London Commuter is a little longer than the gap between Boston Sprinter and Nahverkehr Dresden but it's progressed to the point of testing and polish and moves up to the Upcoming section of the Roadmap as a result. We've also added the Meißen branch for Riesa-Dresden to the upcoming section, as this additional branch will arrive shortly after the main route release, and we’ll have some screenshots from the branch to show off in today’s stream.

Also in testing are the passenger density upgrades to Bakerloo Line and Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen, as well as the improved behaviour to passengers across other routes. We've also moved the improvements to Main Spessart Bahn and MP36PH-3C Baby Bullet scenario planner options.

Possibly the most eye-catching changes to this week's Roadmap are the additions of the NDD-R7 04 Sherman Hill and NDD-R7 03 Horseshoe Curve routes. It's unusual for us to be adding two US heavy freight routes to the Roadmap at the same time but that's just the way the schedules have lined up this time around. Our aim is to add projects to the Roadmap as they enter initial planning which should ensure their stay in this update doesn't feel like it lasts forever.

Finally, we have removed the ongoing standard download size project from the Roadmap as the work has been completed and integrated into the Rush Hour suite of updates. The change in file size might not seem significant at first glance, but it should be impactful over time.
