@@blacksheep43 Are you in the US? Generally, here in the UK we have high-speed trains that have one at either end. We don't have so many double-headed trains as they are not that long. So i think we are both right :)
Love it Biffa. Has giving me a new idea for the city I will be starting today. Going to build all the infrastructure of extra road and rails before zoning. Will now def be keeping passenger and cargo rails fully separate
Hey biffa, have you ever thought of making a skyscraper district, like install your favourite skyscrapers in real life off of the workshop and combine them to form TeaTown Skyline. E.g. u could have London’s the shard, New York’s Empire State Building, Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands etc. Great video as always!
This video was great. Good to see you step through all the lines and how you put it together and how it paid off in the end. It helps show the benefit of separate lines. Good stuff Biffa!
That train station shot ...! The range of detail in this game is amazing! Even though the framerate takes a dive, to think this is still part of a game that lets you zoom out to regional scale is seriously impressive!
Love the mountain pass train line. Inspired. I am good at the functional aspects of this game, but this outside the box function + wow factor.. well, that I can not do. Nicely done Biffa. That's a Thumb up from me.
Hi Biffa! If you use the TM:PE vehicles restrictions tool you can ban all passanger trains from your cargo network and all your cargo trains from the passenger line. Great video. :)
Perhaps you should add another cargo train terminal on the newer side of the city that you are building in, it can also help reduce industry traffic in the city.
Another thing you can do is use tmpe vehicle restrictions to make sure no intercity trains are using your new cargo line to cut through (or vice versa) and make it cargo only (and passenger only for the other line)
Oh man Biffa now you show us this lol. I had to figure this out the hard way when I connected my rails for industry to the passenger rails. What’s a mess! I had to literally separate both as I have three cargo ports for three different sections of my city. I play on console so if the train traffic gets bad then the industry sends the goods on the roads destroying the highways with traffic and without traffic manager it’s ruff. Still great info!
Love seeing train zooming around like this! Great video. Wish you could turn off the trains despawning though. Really ruins the look of it all. Great landscaping and loving the progress of it all
What I like to do at times is, instead of following the train/vehicle/whatever, is to enter first person view and see it from the driver's perspective.
Hi Biffa, love your series especially Teaville! Never gave you a comment but when i saw you having problemes with your trains at about 9 mins, i couldnt hold myself. I have that probleme allot of times since i played with real time mod and more outside connections mod, dont know if its cuz of those mods but when my cities get bigger, my trains stop for no reason too allot of times, always different places, really F annoying. Only thing that i think that helps is not to much rail tracks and constantly keeping an eye open for it. But you can quiqly fix it by replacing the track segment where it got stuck, just by clicking at it with the upgrade road button onn if you know what i mean But yeah i dont know how to permanently fix it sadly, seen lots of train jams in my cities. Good luck and again love your work!
Made my first real internal passenger rail network just last night and I don't know how you're this patient. Or it's way easier to set everything up with mods. Either way, thanks for the vid. Got some ideas for how to polish my current set a bit and figure out what to do about a cargo line.
21:14 we are looking at the edge of the map. Why not create a tourist train that runs from the sliver of flat land up and over the mountains at the top of the screen heading to the right and then down the right hand side of the screen? Don't connect it to anything else. Something like the Canadian Rockies train or the Australian Indian Pacific. There looks like some nice valleys there you could landscape with added forests and rivers.
Hey Biffa, I have a quick question and was wondering if perhaps you could help. When you start a fresh map, is there a process you go through to determine how you want all of your areas to connect with one another? I'm finding it tough to decide how I want to progress with my cities with too much space between, too crowded, etc. Thank you so much for your videos! I just started playing the game last week and it's been some of the most fun I've had playing video games in recent memory! =)
i thought we fixed the sewage problems? the brownish colour of the water down south appears to be spreading. the north river looks alot more blue and untainted. posh-people in the canal housing area wont be happy xD

Such a fixation on train roundabouts. They are terrible things for trains due to the size. Three way one way splitter rail junctions. Compact, cheap and efficient with zero interference from cross traffic merge and split. Train roundabouts are bad because if one is turning, it has to stop every other train to wait as one goes across, etc. As such, if two lines cross, they can only go half flow. Look up a simple one: "Rail Cross Junction" by Twistedmelon. Got a big set of vanilla rail junctions that all flow extremely well with zero interference, even one that lets you chain stations in a line with no interruption of flow.
Is there anything in teaville that biffa can't do. Is it good practice to link your cargo train stations together? Something I don't normally do, I have a cargo station in have area normally.
please don't use the second one like .. ever … i had that and the connections in it are too short and the trains end up blocking each other to the point that they get stuck in it, its a terrible design im afraid when you have lots of cargo movement, just saying ;)
I don't like that the train disappeared after they offload at dock....^%@&$^_. Are they SIMULATING an alternate universe. Well I guess it fits in with the pocket-carry cars.
I feel a little bit afraid seeing train tracks go through a cliff surrounded with skyscrapers and water...what if that place is going to experience any landslides 👀
Hi Biffa, I'd like to see how much money your public transportation is making or losing. Aside from metro, I cannot get any other forms of transportation to make money. Especially buses. I have no idea how to make a popular bus line.

Also he has the train going under the highway at several points. The train line should be as smooth and flat as possible, especially for a heavy cargo train, you'd want the highways going under the train line

Imagine if Cities : Skylines had multiplayer where you could build a city with your friends.
One day,our friends suddenly bulldoze the city?
That would honestly be my dream game.
Sim City did it with Regions... too bad Skylines is so much better.
there is a mod which brings a co-op mode
SimCity 2013 with its region feature
I believe the track was flooded, when your trains stopped around 10:00
ive also had broken nodes, fixed by deleting it and replacing it.
Yeah, at 9:14 you can see the flooded track.
@@OneViolentGentleman Found the flooded track at 9:14 too. He might have not noticed it.

Ah, great start to the weekend. Thank you Biffa, love hearing the 'Hello Everybody..' :)
Is it just me or does Skylines seem more like a traffic manager with buildings on the side? :P
honestly, i like seeing all the lines above ground like a bunch of hamster tunnels. Adds a cool aspect of depth to the skyline.

9:14 your traintracks were flooding, that is why the trains stopped out of nowhere
Mine have done that in the middle of a land locked area
that pass through the mountain looks amazing

The mountain pass is beautiful 😍😍😍

When trains stops, using the move it mod to reset the track in front of it works to get all trains going again.
16:00 I think a high speed train triangle would be better
I like the extra landscaping tools a lot, but what i really dislike about the mod is the "No Cost" aspect.

You should add in a walking path above the train on the mountain.
Great, more railway roller-coasters. Yep, totally realistic, just like the 1% grades you see in real life.
Incredible railroad work, I also like the mountain line, but was all of that necessary, were trains blocked ?

Anyway to make the platforms work on both sides ? All platforms seem to load/unload passengers only on one side.
I love watching the trains why would you hide them underground?
How much did all those new rails add to your train budget cost? I find it gets very expensive to have an efficient rail system.

So do passenger trains only move tourists or can they function like suburban rail lines and move commuters?
Both 👍
