- This page is about the siding used by Waterline. For the depot used by Stepford Connect, see Benton TMD.
Benton Siding is a siding added in Version 1.7 that spawns Waterline trains towards Morganstown, Connolly, Farleigh, Esterfield and Greenslade. It has one track and leads directly to Platform 1 at Benton. This siding faces eastbound and every Waterline route can spawn here.

Trivia[]
- This siding was put here as part of the scenery and layout upgrade at Benton Station.
- This is the only siding which has a barrier on both sides of the siding, likely to shield workers from passing trains.
- At the end of the siding, a not-in-service Class 165 is parked there.
- This siding does not serve any Stepford Connect or Stepford Express trains, which also pass through the main line next to this siding.
- Stepford Connect trains may use Benton Depot instead, which allows trains to go into Benton towards the Stepford Central direction, or Coxly Bypass Siding, allowing access into Benton towards Llyn-by-the-Sea, the latter of which can also be used by Stepford Express trains for access to the terminating platforms here as well as through services to Leighton and Llyn.
- Stepford Express trains on Routes R083, R084 and R086, despite running next to this siding, cannot spawn here and can only spawn at the nearby Newry Siding or Faraday Road TMD (R086 only).
- R085, which terminates at Platform 2 at Benton, like R013 and R015 (which are allowed to spawn at this siding), also cannot spawn here.
- This is because the siding is too short for Stepford Express trains.
- Before this siding existed, Waterline trains towards Cambridge Street Parkway had to spawn all the way at Faraday Road Depot (now Faraday Road TMD) and then reverse at Newry Harbour or Newry, which made the routes quite empty.
- This is the only siding that serves all the Waterline routes, including the Morganstown Shuttle.
