  • The latest station model resembles the Charing Cross station in Glasgow.[1]
  • Prior to Version 1.10:
    • Only one route served this station, being R014 (then Newry <> James Street).
    • The low ceilings on the platforms caused the top of the doors on some trains to reach above the ceiling.
    • The station was the only station to be fully underground.
    • Despite being a station in the Airport Zone, there were no connections to any of the other airport stations, although one could walk to Airport Central to catch an AirLink train to the Airport Terminals. There was no connecting path between the stations.
    • This station used to lack any OFF indicators despite being a dispatchable station, similar to Berrily.
    • This station was located in signal Zone F as it is a Waterline station.
    • This station had lifts, but ironically was not fully step free as there was a short escalator at the entrance to the ticket hall, which made it wheelchair accessible only for passengers who are inverse changing, and was also the last station on Waterline not having an entrance with wheelchair access.
  • After Version 1.10:
    • The ceilings were raised with the upgrade of the station.
    • The station was no longer fully underground, as there is an opening above the platforms.
    • The station was moved near Stepford Airport Parkway, now located northwest of Stepford Airport Parkway, making the interchange the 2nd OSI (out of station interchange) in the whole network.
