Overview
Template:Station (Improved)Leighton City station, located at the southern end of the Leighton Zone, is a small through station for Stepford Connect services to Stepford Victoria, Willowfield, Stepford Central, St Helens Bridge, Leighton Stepford Road, Edgemead, Westwyvern and Llyn-by-the-Sea, and for limited Stepford Express services to Llyn-by-the-Sea and Stepford Central.
The station is designed to be used for through services, which finally was extended 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 nor Rocket Parade via road, and the only thing that would make you think s 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 one route stopping here. This station was supposed to be redesigned in this update, but it didn't fit in it, and the redesigned station was instead released on February 22nd, 2020 as part of the V1.4.1 update.
