Waterline, stylised in all lowercase, operates rail services to various districts around Stepford County, such as Newry Harbour, Newry, Benton, Connolly, Farleigh, Esterfield, Morganstown, Airport Terminal 2 and Greenslade. A full journey on the main line, which runs from Newry to Benton, takes about 6 minutes.

The operator is classified as a regional commuter rail due to its short travel times and the stations it serves. Several trains on this route can go as fast as 100 MPH, that can be reached between Newry and Eden Quay (only southbound services) and on sections between Airport West and Esterfield, while the average operational speed is 90 MPH.

Prior to 1 May 2020, this operator was a sub-franchise of Connect, branded as WaterLine and bearing a  navy blue (#002D5F)  colour scheme. Currently, it operates as its own separate franchise and bears a  greyish blue (#7F8FA6)  colour scheme.

Trivia[]

  • Waterline is named after the water in the River Ben, which it runs along.
  • Sometimes, Waterline gets crowded by players on purpose. This is called 'Waterline flooding'.
  • Driving Waterline is the best way to earn/grind points, as most of the stations are significantly close to each other, and there are a number of routes.
  • Many players agreed that this operator was 'dead' due to major updates which seem to leave out Waterline, however this is changing recently, with more station overhauls and the anticipated Waterline Extension released.
    • Currently, Whitney Green is the only station to have no major change to it as of current.
  • As of V1.10.10, this was the last operator to have NGv2 trains, those being the Class 165 and Class 166. They were upgraded to NGv3 in V1.10.11.
  • Before V1.10, this was the only operator that did not skip any stations.
  • This used to be the only operator where some trains could never hit their top speed at any point on the line without breaking the speed limits.
  • The only interchanges between Waterline and Stepford Express are Newry Harbour, Newry, Eden Quay, Benton and Morganstown.
  • Likewise, the only Waterline and AirLink interchanges are at Morganstown and Airport Terminal 2.
  • This operator used to be part of Connect, but it is now a separate franchise.
  • This operator used to have the least amount of depots and sidings prior to V1.9 with only 4, tied with AirLink. After V1.9, it beat AirLink as Newry Siding was added.
  • Before V1.7, every Waterline route except R010 had only one spawn location.
    • In V1.7, Benton Siding opened and R010 became the only route with 3 places to spawn.
    • Later in V1.9, Newry Siding was added, making the aforementioned route the only route with 4 places to spawn.
    • However in V1.10, Farleigh TMD and Esterfield TMD were added, making R014 the only route with 6 places to spawn. (if Esterfield TMD is split into the Station Depot and the Mainline Depot)
  • This operator, along with Stepford Connect, are the last operators to see their trains upgraded to Next Generation. This operator also had the most Previous Generation trains prior to V1.5.
  • This is the only operator that does not serve the Stepford City Zone or call at Stepford Central.
  • Newry Harbour formerly did not have any trains going to James Street, as the developers wanted to keep the station as small as possible.
  • James Street had no buffers before V1.6.
    • Before then, if a driver overshot the platform, their train would be despawned with the despawn message saying "Invalid track detected.", but this message is no longer able to be seen because of the buffer being added.
  • Prior to V1.10, James Street had no ticket machines, barriers or CIS Boards, making it feel like a very incomplete station.
  • Before V1.6, R010 used every depot on Waterline, but because of the Morganstown Shuttle being added, a siding was added at Morganstown.
  • The Class 143 and Class 730 are the most common trains to be seen on Waterline because of their cheap price of 1,000 points.
  • The Class 195 was the first train on Waterline with coach variants, and the Class 165 was the first train on Waterline with a double configuration, and the second overall in SCR.
  • The Class 701 was removed because it did not suit the line.
  • As of V1.10, Waterline has the least amount of routes, with only 9 routes, with AirLink in second place having 10 routes.
    • Before V1.7, Stepford Express had the least amount of routes, having 5 routes. The aforementioned update brought the operator 3 new routes, passing both Waterline and AirLink in the number of routes at that time.
  • Waterline is the only operator to use lettered platforms as of V1.10. Esterfield is only a Waterline station, having Platforms 4A and 4B (Platform 4A is permanently occupied by an out-of-service Class 143), while Platforms 5A and 5B at Morganstown are only for Waterline trains.
    • Newry also had lettered platforms, but they were removed in V1.9 when the station was upgraded.
  • The first Waterline livery was based off the Great Western Railway livery.
  • Along with Stepford Connect, this is one of two operators with more than one double unit on them, with Waterline operating double units of both the Class 143 and the Class 165.
  • There used to be a bug which meant that players could not open the Waterline map at night, however this was fixed in V1.8.4.
  • Until the introduction of the Points system in V1.0, Waterline was locked behind a gamepass. Those who owned the gamepass during the legacy period were given the Classes 165, 166 and 387 as compensation after V1.0 released.[1]
