One of the things I heard back clearly when I last asked for feedback on Dunwic was that my transport system was not as realistic as I wanted it to be. Since then I’ve been trying to fix the bugs and come up with a more realistic system for a city of Dunwic’s size and I’d like to know more about what you think.
Essentially I have reduced the light rail from 7 lines to 2 and transferred some of those lines over to the regional rail network. I have also re-routed lines, gotten rid of duplicating lines and tried to erase all the steep curves from the system.
Here are the maps you can compare side-by-side
Here is the new RM Regio diagram (this only shows the major stops)
What more can I do? Is the new arrangement more realistic?

Really like the changes in the last couple of weeks. And, yes - more realistic.
I think there are still a few areas which specifically could be tweaked:

@wangi thank you for the suggestions, of course you’re right about the radius on those curves but I just re-did both of those junctions so it’s a little galling to have to go back and do them again, especially as I will have to demolish half that shopping centre in Hygewic! I will though, I’m pretty desperate to get my rail sorted.
As for mapping the LB as light_rail, this did used to be the case but I just didn’t like the way it looked, it is essentially a heavy rail system and it is connected at a few points to the mainline railway so I think I am going to keep it mapped as is.
Thanks again for the excellent feedback!
