Trivia[]

  • The station resembles Tyseley station in Birmingham.
  • Before V1.7.2, there was a siding nearby for Stepford Connect trains to spawn at. Due to track settings, the siding only went to Platform 1, the terminating buffer platform at that time, therefore only services terminating at Edgemead, i.e. R004 and R009 could use this siding.
  • Platform 1 used to be rarely used after V1.4 as it was the terminus of R004 and R009, which players drove rarely.
    • In V1.7.2, Edgemead was upgraded, which included demolishing the siding and turning Platform 1 into a through platform.
  • When Edgemead was released in V1.1, Platforms 2 and 3 were not in use, with Platform 3 being inaccessible as the entrance to that platform was not built yet. However, with the release of Version 1.4, all platforms became used, and Platform 3 finally received access.
    • Between V1.4 and V1.7.1, Platform 3 owned a separate entrance, independent of the other two platforms. After the refurbishment in V1.7.2, only the entrance at Platform 3 was kept, and a footbridge was installed to provide access to the other platforms.
  • Prior to the launch of the Llyn extension, this was the only station to have more unused platforms than in-use platforms.
  • Before the refurbishment, Edgemead has always kept a Cashmere colour design since creation, except for the terminus track.
  • Before the 1.7.2 update, this station, along with James Street and Upper Staploe, were the only stations in SCR having neither CIS boards nor Concourse Information Boards. There is now a Concourse Information Board at the left-hand side of the entrance and ticket barriers archway. Strangely, there are still no CIS boards.
  • Some longer-standing members of the community affectionately call the barn outside of Edgemead, towards Leighton City ”Mugmead” after former SSG Muggenzifter.
  • Before V1.5, this station had no OFF indicators despite being a dispatchable station.
    • OFF indicators were then installed in V1.5.
  • Before V1.4, this was the end of the Stepford Main Line for Stepford Connect.
  • Before the refurbishment, this station was commonly referred to as dead or underutilised as many major upgrades had ignored its need for new features such as CIS Boards even though it is seen as a semi-major station, with some Stepford Express routes serving it. With its V1.7.2 rebuild, a Concourse Information Board has been installed.
  • As of V1.8, this is one of the two stations where trains from both directions can terminate at the same platform, the other one is Leighton City.
  • This station has step-free access.
  • After the station got upgraded in V1.7.2, unused tracks were seen on top of a pile of dirt near the tracks towards Stepford, near the tunnel towards Llyn-by-the-Sea. This is speculated to be the remains of the former Edgemead Siding by the community. However, some members instead thought that it might be a reference to the possibility that the extension to Leighton West, which was confirmed to be released in V1.8, might be branched off from the mainline at this station.
  • This station, along with Westercoast and Northshore are the only stations served by Stepford Express that are owned and operated by Stepford Connect.
  • In V1.7.4, this station was originally in signal Zone D. But in V1.8, with the Leighton West extension being added to the game, this station was moved to signal Zone E to reduce the amount of stations and signals managed by signal Zone D.
  • Before V1.8.2, this station often has a train at Platform 2 because R009 (Stepford Victoria <> Edgemead) was a free route, but since the introduction of R045 (Stepford Victoria <> Leighton City) and R009 no longer being free, the traffic has moved to Leighton City.
  • This station, along with Leighton Stepford Road, Leighton City, and Leighton West, are 4 terminating stations that are next to each other without any through stations in between.
  • This station's name is censored in the in-game chat, most likely due to the station name containing the word "mead", a type of alcohol. As a result, players sometimes refer to the station as "Edgemeat" or "Eggmeat" in a humourous vein.
  • As of V1.10.10, Edgemead-bound trains from Leighton City/West cannot open their doors at Platform 2 and complete the route, due to the block for checking if the train has arrived at the station not working/existing. This however does not affect routes passing Edgemead or terminating from the Faymere direction.
    • Although this bug temporarily fixed itself in V1.10.11, since the release of V1.10.12, players have again reported experiencing this bug, and is still currently yet to be patched.
  • Community Director tjh44 released a sneak peek showing an unknown station upgrade on 30th January 2024. Many players believe that the station is Edgemead, reasoning this with the track layout, with speculations that the terminating platform could be moved back to Platform 1.
