(U3) 19:32 Südbahnhof to Oberursel Hohemark

Description
As the sun sets over the city of Frankfurt, you will be driving an evening service all the way out to Oberursel Hohemark. At around 19 kilometres long, U3 is the longest line on the Frankfurt U-Bahn. The shortest is U6 (Ostbahnhof to Praunheim Heerstraße), which is 7.7 kilometres long. The traction for this run is a pair of Bombardier Flexity Swift U5-25 units, and your stops on the way are as follows:

Schweizer Platz
Willy-Brand-Platz
Hauptwache
Eschenheimer Tor
Grüneburgweg
Holzhausenstraße
Miquel-/Adickesallee
Dornbusch
Fritz-Tarnow-Straße
Hügelstraße
Lindenbaum
Weißer Stein
Heddernheim
Zeilweg
Wiesenau
Niederursel
Weißkirchen Ost
Bommersheim
Oberursel Bahnhof
Oberursel Stadtmitte
Oberursel Altstadt
Lahnstraße
Glöcknerwiese
Kupferhammer
Rosengärtchen
Waldlust
Oberursel Hohemark

After this run, you will have a four minute layover at Oberursel Hohemark. Then you will run a passenger service back down the line, but only as far as Oberursel Bahnhof. From there, you will run an empty service and park the train in the depot near Bommersheim station.

U3 is certainly one of the more interesting lines on the U-Bahn. And that's mainly due to the section between Niederursel and Oberursel Hohemark, which is used exclusively by U3. After leaving Oberursel Stadtmitte, the line climbs a very steep grade that lasts all the way to the terminus. It starts out at around 1 in 46, but increases to a staggering 1 in 17 near Waldlust. As far as I know, Rosengärtchen and Waldlust are the only two stations on the whole of the Frankfurt U-Bahn that have just one platform. These two stations are on the short single-track section beyond Kupferhammer.

Duration - 62 minutes
Difficulty Level - Medium

U-Bahn Frankfurt 2 is the only DLC required for this scenario. It is available either on Steam or the Just Trains website.

This sometimes happens. Try closing the door before you change cabs. If you still encounter the problem try powering off and on with the key and closing the doors with "I" key.

Hi, i seem to run into the issue of the train not being able to depart from Hohemark after swiching the driverstand. As far as i can tell, it has something to do with the doors, as i can hear the opening/closing sounds as a loop (eventhough the doors are closed, and the train should be ready to depart again)..
