Trivia
- At Platforms 5A and 5B, there are two blue stop car markers that say "WaterLine Shuttle 2 car stop”, hinting that WaterLine may serve this station in the future. If it will, then Morganstown will be the first AirLink - WaterLine interchange. This shuttle route is now shown on the network map of V1.4. However, the color of the route on the map is strangely shown in Connect colours. As of V1.4.4, there are now 2 tracks with a 15mph speed limit to Morganstown Docks. Because the stop markers say 2 cars, only the Class 165/0, Class 171 and Class 195/0 will be able to stop here. This could change in the future when it gets released.
- Platform 6 is rarely used for stopping or skipping Airlink trains.
- This is one of the seven stations to be run by Network Rail.
- This station has lettered platforms like Benton and Newry.
- The rails at Platforms 1 and 2 extend noticeably beyond the buffers.
- To make an in-game announcement, Morganstown will need to be written as "Morgans-Town" in order to get the pronunciation correct.
- During parts of late 2019, the platform announcements were glitched when the name is said due to a corrupt sound file. They were fixed in the Five Million Update. This is also the same as New Harrow and Berrily.
- Despite being a large station, there were no CIS boards before V1.4.1, the same can be said for Berrily except they added these in an update before V1.4.1. They added these in V1.4.1 as well as the ability to dispatch.
- There is an unused siding just east of the station, which leads to Platform 6, rarely used by Airlink.
- There used to be a station called Morganstown High Level, which was just 2 elevated platforms with no connections to Morganstown which had a link to Morganstown Docks. However, it was replaced by Platforms 5A and 5B, and the original platforms were demolished.
- When the WaterLine shuttle route to this station is released, it will be a triple-line junction station along with Stepford Central, St Helens Bridge, Benton and Leighton Stepford Road.
- This station, as well as Westercoast, are the longest single word station names, with the overall longest station name being Stepford United Football Club.
- This station has step-free access.
