Template:LineAirLink operates fast services to Stepford Airport Central, Airport Terminal 2 and Airport Terminal 3 via Berrily & Morganstown. It currently has 5 routes, 2 direct, the 3 others with a flipped stopping pattern.
There's a chance that AirLink resembles to the real life Heathrow Express line in London, UK that goes from London Paddington to (of course) Heathrow Airport. However, the Gatwick Express livery was used for the Next-Gen Class 185.
AirLink serves as the quick airport rail link between Stepford City and Stepford Airport, delivering passengers to the airport in under 15 minutes.
History of AirLink
2017
AirLink was first proposed back in August 2017, where Charlie_RBX, the Managing Director and founder of SCR, stated in the #announcements channel that a new line was coming. It was going to be called AirExpress, and the first train that was going to run on it was the Class 345 Aventra. Many people were excited for the new line. Then in September, multiple Class 345 trains started testing on the AirLink mainline. This was a sign that AirLink would be coming soon. People waited until the end of the year, but the new line never came. Another image was posted in #announcements showing two Class 345s at the Stepford Airport Parkway Depot. (A video is available on youtube of the Class 345's testing.

2018
In June of 2018, an image was posted by the Innovations Director, BanTech. It showed a picture of the new Stepford Central track layout for signal boards at the ROC. In the picture, it showed that platforms 12, 13, 14, and 15 were going to be used. This caused wild speculation among SCR players, stating that AirLink may be coming in V1.1. Then in December, Charlie_RBX released an advent calendar with each day as a sneak peek for 1.1. On Day 22, it finally happened. In a surprise announcement, they said that a new line, AirLink, was going to be released, with classes 185 and 802s running on the line. It is unknown why the Class 345 was never released (It was likely because the train had been outdated in SCR tech by V1.1, too laggy, or that it is too similar to the Class 720.)
2019
Soon after the release of v1.1 on New Years' Eve, more trains were added to the fleet like, the Class 332 and Class 360. In February, The Airport Terminals Were added. In May, Airlink introduced its first NG Stock to refurbish the 185.
