Next route to be distributed
Thank you for playing JR EAST Train Simulator!
We hope everyone is enjoying the major update that was made on July 30 (Tuesday).
We have received the following comments regarding the newly added Chuo Line Rapid Service schedule and sub-monitor support.
'It's challenging because there are so many changes in the traffic signal manifestations during rush hour.”
"It makes it more immersive."
We are encouraged by all of these positive comments and your candid reviews.
Thank you again for the many reviews and supportive comments.

[h3]Now, I hope you all got the hint about the next distribution route that I gave in the last YouTube live-stream.(1：27：18～)
Let's try to answer the question, what was the line that "1990" represented?[/h3]

[h3]The meaning of "1990" is "the year when the nickname of a certain line was established", and the new nickname in 1990 was "the line connecting Tokyo Station and Kuroiso Station".
If we say "the line connecting Tokyo Station and Kuroiso Station," you already know what it means, don't you?[/h3]
[h4]So, the next DLC will be "Utsunomiya Line(Tohoku Line)"![/h4]

Utsunomiya Line is the nickname for trains operating on the 163.3 km long section of the Tohoku Line (between Tokyo Station and Morioka Station) between Tokyo Station and Kuroiso Station. The Utsunomiya Line has been in use since March 10, 1990, at the suggestion of the local governments along the line. In the past, many express and sleeper trains headed for Tohoku and Hokkaido used to run on the line, but now regular and rapid trains make up the majority of the schedule.
Currently, the train lines are separated at Utsunomiya Station, with the Ueno Tokyo Line and Shonan Shinjuku Line providing commuter and school transportation in the Tokyo metropolitan area south of Utsunomiya, and one-man operation north of Utsunomiya (between Oyama and Koganei and Utsunomiya in some early mornings), providing transportation between areas within Tochigi Prefecture.
After leaving Kuroiso Station, the train heads for Ueno Station, which is known as the northern gateway to Tokyo, and Tokyo Station, the center of Tokyo, via Nasu-Shiobara Station, the gateway to Nasu, Utsunomiya Station, known as the city of dumplings, and Omiya Station, the largest terminal in Saitama Prefecture.
Please enjoy the Utsunomiya Line DLC as you travel through the Kanto Plain, experiencing the changing landscape from Tochigi Prefecture to Tokyo, with its sprawling countryside, suburban residential areas, and buildings in the heart of the city.
We are working hard on the production so that we can inform you of the production status as soon as possible. Please look forward to further updates!
