'''Stepford Connect '''operates rail services to various districts around Stepford County, such as [[Benton]], [[Leighton Zone|Leighton]], [[Morganstown]], [[Whitefield]], [[Berrily]], [[Stepford Airport Central]] and [[Willowfield]]. A full journey on the mainline, which runs from [[Stepford Victoria]] to [[Llyn-by-the-Sea]] takes about 43 minutes and is only doable on the [[Class 68]].
  +
  +
The route is classified as regional rail, due to the fact that it takes up the majority of the network and it serves various regions. The trains on this route reach an average maximum speed of 100 miles per hour.
  +
  +
As part of a renewed franchise from [[SCR Version 1.5|1 May 2020]], this operator is now branded as Stepford Connect and bears a {{colourbox|cyan|#04AFEC}} colour scheme, courtesy of rail management system [[Transport For Stepford]]. Prior to the renewal, the brand was simply Connect and bore a {{colourbox|bright bluish green|#008F9C}} colour scheme.

Stepford Connect

Stepford Connect operates rail services to various districts around Stepford County, such as Benton, Leighton, Morganstown, Whitefield, Berrily, Stepford Airport Central and Willowfield. A full journey on the mainline, which runs from Stepford Victoria to Llyn-by-the-Sea takes about 43 minutes and is only doable on the Class 68.

The route is classified as regional rail, due to the fact that it takes up the majority of the network and it serves various regions. The trains on this route reach an average maximum speed of 100 miles per hour.

As part of a renewed franchise from 1 May 2020, this operator is now branded as Stepford Connect and bears a  cyan  colour scheme, courtesy of rail management system Transport For Stepford. Prior to the renewal, the brand was simply Connect and bore a  bright bluish green  colour scheme.

History

2017

  • 4th December: the Connect franchise was renewed to include the Waterline route sub-franchise. Class 357 and Class 387 units were also introduced, with Class 350 units following on 6th December. On 11th December, some Class 700 units were painted into a special livery to celebrate Christmas, and Class 185 units were introduced on 13th December. On 18th December, all Class 387 units were taken out of service to be repainted into the WaterLine livery, and were replaced by Class 377 units. On 25 December, Class 720 units were introduced.

2018

2019

2020

  • 4th March: All Class 707 units were upgraded with Next Generation V2 doors and interiors. On 11th March, all Class 333 units were upgraded with the same tech from the Class 707 units. On 18 March, Stepford Central was rebuilt to increase capacity and discard aging infrastructure.

  • This is the oldest operator in SCR since the creation of it.
  • This operator has the most fleet and stations.
  • This operator has the most spawning locations as well as depots.
  • This is one of two operators in SCR that none of the trains on the fleet can run on every single route, the second is Waterline, as only two car trains on their fleet (Class 165/0, Class 171 and Class 195/0) can run on the Morganstown Shuttle.
  • Some of the stations were originally purposed to be on another operator: Metro.
  • In V1.5, the Class 380 was the only train with the new livery on this operator, with the other trains receiving the new livery in V1.6.
  • Waterline was a former part of this operator, and some believe that Stepford Express is currently part of this operator too.
  • This operator, along with Waterline, were the last operators to see their trains upgraded to Next-Gen.
  • This is the only operator without a hub for all routes.
  • It is the only operator to serve all Network Rail stations before they receive the Transport for Stepford sign in V1.6.
