Trivia

• This route skips 6 stations, namely Hemdon Park, City Hospital, Angel Pass, Upper Staploe, Rocket Parade, and Millcastle Racecourse.
  • Still, it was considered a stopping service (Headcode 2XXX service) instead of a semi-fast service (Headcode 1XXX) before V1.7.1. It might be because of the large number of stations the route still calls at, and most stations skipped by this service are limited services station.
  • When V1.7.1 was released on the 1st January 2021, this route eventually got upgraded to a Semi-fast 9 Headcode service.
  • In V1.8, most 9 headcodes in Stepford Connect changed to 1 headcodes, including this route.
  • When this route was classified as a stopping service, this route had the most number of stations scheduled to skip en-route among all stopping routes.
• This route is similar to R036 between Willowfield and Westwyvern with 2 additional stops, Benton Bridge and Faymere.
• This is the only Stepford Connect route that terminates at Westwyvern which doesn't stop at Millcastle Racecourse.
• This route has bad timing between Stepford Central, Stepford East, and St Helens Bridge, with only 1 minute instead of 2, causing trains to be always at least 1 minute late. This section of track often being busy and congested doesn't help.
