Tramlink is a cancelled operator for Stepford County Railway. It was previously planned to operate a light rail tram network in Stepford, but was never materialised.

A  Midnight Green (#1e4b51)  colour scheme was intended to be used by the operator.

Tracks for it were laid near Whitney Green, stretching to Greenslade and beyond, towards stations such as Berrily Denton Road and West Berrily, but the line has never been put to use and the tracks beyond Greenslade have been demolished. There was once also further sections of track running all the way to the Stepford City Zone, along with plans of expansion to locations including Whitefield Lido and Benton, but are poorly documented with limited evidence.

The cancellation of the Tramlink project was announced during the 17 October 2020 Q&A Session with the SCR Directors when they answered a question related to the possible future of the project. The reasons for the cancellation include: SCR being a regional network and having a tram network would not fit in, the difficulty of creating a new system for the trams for they are different to the "heavy rail" trains, the creation of a pointless road network to accompany the tram network would create additional work for the developers, and other reasons unknown to the public[1]. Before this Q&A session, the project had never been officially cancelled, but instead, the directors had simply said that it was "at the bottom of the list" in terms of priority.

However, some messages from BanTech, the current Innovations Director, in the Discord server show that Tramlink was cancelled even before the Q&A session[2]. It was still unknown whether the Tramlink tracks will ever be removed or not, but as of Version 1.7, Berrily Denton Road and West Berrily have been demolished with the tram tracks abruptly stopping at Greenslade. In addition, the tracks of Tramlink at Whitney Green are covered with wild plants and weeds in V1.7 (then later removed in 1.8), showing that Tramlink is cancelled and the remaining tracks and platforms would be just used for scenery purposes.

Possible rolling stock for Tramlink could be the models of trams used in the real-life Tramlink in London, however, based on the line design, people have observed that it somewhat resembles the Metrolink tram network in Manchester, UK. However, these were all just speculations.

After the V1.4.1 update, OHLE (Overhead Line Equipment) can be seen between Whitney Green and Greenslade on the Tramlink tracks making some of the community believe that Tramlink might be fully implemented in the next major update, however, former Product Developer Mattyx2013 stated that this track section only got the OHLE because it would look bland if only the Waterline tracks got the overhead line equipment.

Later in V1.7.1, Greenslade's Tramlink station received an upgrade as part of said station's upgrade, with it being modernised, and being right in front of the current entrance of Greenslade. The track now also runs into an inaccessible tunnel, visible without having to trespass.

Stations[]

Tramlink had six known stations: Whitney Green, which has two disused, terminating tracks for Tramlink, Robinson Way, Greenslade, Berrily Denton Road and West Berrily, where the tracks ended before Version 1.7. Additionally, there was a demolished stop named Hallam Square, which was located in between Stepford Central and Stepford Victoria. Platforms could also be seen at Whitefield Lido. Rumours about stations at Benton and Stepford Central were also present in the early days of Stepford County Railway, as both stations had underground infrastructure that was presumably meant for Tramlink.

Berrily Denton Road[]


Berrily Denton Road was an elevated Tramlink station with two disused platforms. It used to have two long, ground level platforms intended to be served by another operator, High Speed, which is seen as part of Stepford Express nowadays. It was located just after Greenslade. The station was demolished in Version 1.7.

West Berrily[]


West Berrily was an elevated Tramlink station with two disused platforms, located just after Berrily Denton Road. This is where the only stretch of Tramlink tracks ended before V1.7.
