We are wishing you all a wonderful merry Christmas! To celebrate this festive season, we have several surprises for you that will delight fans of the Hamburg U-Bahn. Plus, we’re taking a look at a long-awaited project and its exciting progress.
A Big Surprise
Our special Christmas surprise this year: Hamburg's Hellbrookstraße Main Workshop will finally be included in SubwaySim 2! This has been on both your wishlist and ours for quite some time. Located near Barmbek station, this is where Hamburg Hochbahn AG trains are serviced and repaired. In addition to 28 workshop tracks for maintenance, the facility features a large yard with numerous sidings. The outdoor area includes 21 tracks, all fully usable in SubwaySim 2, with enough space to park up to three DT5 trains on some of them.
Thanks to our new track system, introduced in our last posting, we were finally able to design the depot in SubwaySim 2 as we had envisioned. With accurately modelled crossings and triple switches, there are many details to explore.
In the game, the main workshop Bba will play a significant role: some trains will be parked here overnight after their last journey, and some services will start here in the morning. The depot will also open up new possibilities for scenarios and work vehicles. Speaking of work vehicles…
Another Surprise
If you’ve looked closely at the photos above, you may have spotted it: the AL1 battery-powered locomotive, which we had announced as a DLC some time ago. The good news: we’ve made great progress, and today, as a second big surprise, we’re sharing updated screenshots of the AL1!
The AL1 is used for vehicle transfers on the Hochbahn network, such as towing brand-new DT5 trains to the Hellbrookstraße (Bba) workshop. This sounds like the perfect scenario to recreate in SubwaySim 2!
As the name suggests, the locomotive can also operate in places where others simply can't. If the third rail, or power rail, is unavailable or deactivated, the AL1 can run on its battery – as long as it’s charged, of course. This makes the loco ideal for construction site operations, where the power is usually turned off for safety reasons. With our new track system, the power supply and battery charging will also be simulated – a fantastic feature for scenarios in SubwaySim 2.
And One More Vehicle!
Speaking of construction site operations, there’s another addition! Alongside the AL1, the same DLC will also include an LB6 cargo wagon. Just like in real life, the wagon can be used for transporting materials in SubwaySim 2 and will come with additional functionalities. But more on that later.
All these new features – and we haven’t announced them all yet – significantly enhance the AL1 DLC. The variety and gameplay possibilities in SubwaySim 2 make it much more fun and engaging. For transparency reasons, we want to point out that we had to make one adjustment to our plans: As you know, all of these features aren't yet available in SubwaySim Hamburg. But without the new track system, the depot, and the fundamentally revamped route, the AL1 DLC wouldn’t be as enjoyable as it could be. Thus, after careful consideration, we’ve decided not to release the AL1 DLC for SubwaySim Hamburg as originally planned. Instead, we will release it for SubwaySim 2, and we’re adding lots of new features to make it even more entertaining than initially envisioned.
When will it be released, and what's the price tag?
For now, still have to ask for your patience regarding release date and price. However, we can share two things already. First, buyers of SubwaySim Hamburg will enjoy a discounted "upgrade package" for SubwaySim 2, with details yet to be announced. And second, both SubwaySim 2 and the AL1 DLC are planned for release in 2025.
What a Year – A Big Thank You!
That wraps up today’s post. We want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your incredible support in 2024. Your constructive feedback and enthusiasm motivate us to work passionately on SubwaySim 2 day by day.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a fantastic start to 2025!

You do not need to be able to understand Japanese. I am not looking for a perfect translation, and I would be happy if you could take a look at the AI translation or the English translation and correct it according to your own interpretation. It is very hard to correct every sentence. I would appreciate it if you could correct only the unnatural parts that do not make sense.

Just a quick hotfix addressing missing dialogue bugs in the latest batch of localized languages. The dialogue for the affected items would revert to Turkish. As far as I can tell this affected certain context-dependent items, so not everyone would have encountered them on a playthrough. Apologies to anyone who did!
