U-Bahnhof Chlodwigplatz: Historie, Architektur und modernes Köln-Gefühl

Der Chlodwigplatz ist ein Ort, den viele Kölnerinnen und Kölner täglich passieren – ob mit Bus, Bahn oder Auto. Oberirdisch verkehren hier die Stadtbahnlinien 15 und 16 entlang der Ringe, dazu kreuzt unter anderem die bekannte Buslinie 132, die du vielleicht aus dem OMSI-Addon kennst. Doch das wahre Highlight liegt unter der Erde: der U-Bahnhof Chlodwigplatz, eröffnet im Dezember 2015 als Teil der Nord-Süd-Stadtbahn.

GT8N: Where does this tram still operate today?

You probably know the GT8N from the City Transport Simulator – for many, it’s simply part of the experience. But in reality, things now look quite different, as these vehicles have already disappeared in many places or are only rarely in service. While modern trams are gradually taking over, the GT8N is becoming more and more of an exception in the cityscape. But where can you actually still ride a GT8N today?

Hamburg is getting a new U3 station – major expansion for Barmbek-Nord approved!

This is really good news for Hamburg—and the topic is likely to be of interest to many simulation fans as well. The real-life U3 continues to grow and is getting a new stop. Precisely because the U3 has already been digitally implemented in Subway Sim 2, an exciting question quickly arises: Will this eventually become a feature in the game as well?

Why are Hamburg’s U2 and U4 lines, of all things, still missing from EVERY simulator—even though both lines actually have potential?

This question keeps coming up in the community—and, to be honest, quite rightly so: Why is it that Hamburg’s U2 and U4, of all lines, are still missing from every simulator? Especially when you consider how often Hamburg routes are discussed, this gap seems almost astonishing. This makes the question of why two such well-known lines, of all things, are still completely missing all the more intriguing.

U7 to Heerstraße Nord – Is the Next Major Expansion for Spandau, Long Familiar to OMSI Players, Finally Coming?

If you’ve played OMSI 2, two locations are sure to feel instantly familiar: Spandau Town Hall and Heerstraße Nord. Right where the U7 ends in reality today, many have been hoping for an extension for years. And now this very topic is back in the spotlight. Five new stations, hundreds of millions of euros in costs, and a possible completion date not until the mid-2030s—is this a major opportunity for Spandau’s future, or an overly expensive prestige project?
