[h3]Now, I hope you all got the hint about the next distribution route that I gave in the last announcement.
Let's try to answer what the DLC that “Routes that cannot be ridden through in one train” represents was![/h3]

[h3]The meaning of “Routes that cannot be ridden through in one train” was “a line that has both electrified and non-electrified sections within a single line, with separate operations.
You all already know what I mean when I say “Routes where operations are divided between electrified and non-electrified sections” vehicles, don't you?[/h3]
[h4]So, the next DLC will be "Hachikō Line"[/h4]
The Hachikō Line is divided into two sections: one between Kuragano Station and Komagawa Station (non-electrified section), and the other between Komagawa Station and Hachiōji Station (electrified section), requiring passengers to change trains whenever they pass through.
[h3]
*In conjunction with this release, it will be possible to operate some sections of the Hachikō Line with only the basic package. Section: Inbound Takasaki Station ⇒ Gumma-Fujioka Station (11.7km)
The Hachikō Line is a 92-km long single-track line connecting Hachiōji Station in Hachiōji City, Tōkyō to Kuragano Station in Takasaki City, Gumma Prefecture. From Kuragano Station, the train connects to the Takasaki Line and runs to Takasaki Station. Hachioji Station to Komagawa Station is an electrified section, and from Komagawa Station to near Kita-Fujioka Station is a non-electrified section, the only non-electrified section in Saitama Prefecture and one of the few in Gunma Prefecture. In this DLC, you can enjoy the non-electrified section between Takasaki Station and Komagawa Station. There are no overhead wires blocking the view, and the scenery along the line seen from the driver's seat is dynamic. The flat section from Takasaki Station to Yorii Station runs through urban areas and fields, while the mountainous section from Yorii Station to Komagawa Station is impressive, with several 20‰ grades and a view of mountain villages.
We hope you will enjoy the Hachikō Line with its full of local train atmosphere, where you can drive through mountainous sections with 20‰ gradients and flat urban areas and fields with this DLC.
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!
