Leighton City

Overview

Template:Station (Improved)

This was the sign that was at the end of the platforms until V1.1

Leighton City station, located at the southern end of the Leighton Zone, is a small through station for Stepford Connect services to Stepford Victoria, Stepford Central, St Helens Bridge, Edgemead, Westwyvern, and Llyn-by-the-Sea, and for limited Stepford Express service to Llyn-by-the-Sea and Stepford Central.

The station is designed to be used for through services, which finally came to light in V1.1, when the station was used for services to and from Edgemead.

Despite being called Leighton City, it is not at all connected to Leighton Stepford Road or Rocket Parade via road, and the only thing that would suggest that it is actually in a city is that the platforms are underground.

On December 17th, 2019, as part of the Version 1.4 update, Express was released with some services stopping at Leighton City. It is also confirmed that the redesign will be coming in a later patch. On February 22nd, 2020, the long-awaited renovated Leighton City has been released as part of the v1.4.1 update.

Trivia

• This station was originally going to be called Leighton.
• Though city is in its name, Leighton City doesn't look like a city at all. The scenery is just a street with a building.
• Before New Year’s Eve of 2018, when V1.1 was released, the station served as a terminus for trains from St. Helens Bridge.
• Before Version 1.1, if you proceeded past a sign that reads 'LINE CLOSED - DO NOT PROCEED' at the end of the platform, you would be ejected from your train automatically. This is like James Street, Port Benton, and Airport Terminal 2.

• Leighton City is one of the very few stations to be mostly underground.
• Trains to Stepford Victoria are only operated by Class 68 units, due to the limited route provided for drivers of the train.
• When this station was a terminus, it was planned to serve Stepford Central-bound trains, but the idea was turned down.
• Before V1.1, you couldn't dispatch at this station and Platform 2 was unused, Platform 1 was used as a temporary terminating platform.

• If you try to make on-board announcement for this staton, you will have to use "Laighton City" instead of Leighton City to get the voice similar to the in game one. (Actually this is same for Leighton Stepford Road) This is because when "Leighton City" is used, the voice says "Lee-ton".
• This station was similar to James Street as it is open platform 1 and not 2.
• This station got upgraded in V1.4.1.
• The platform walls of the station are similar to the ones at Stepford Airport West.
• Platform 1 is straight, but platform 2 is curved.
