== History ==
  +
  +
=== '''2017''' ===
  +
In October 2017, plans were announced to open a new route as part of Connect, following the mainline from [[Benton]] to [[Port Benton]] and continuing on to a new branch. Services commenced on 4th December, exclusively using [[Class 165]] and [[Class 166]] units and [[Morganstown Docks]] was constructed shortly after.
  +
  +
On 20th December, services to [[Newry]] and [[Newry Harbour]] commenced and ex-[[Stepford Connect|Connect]] [[Class 387]] units were introduced.
  +
  +
=== '''2018''' ===
  +
On [[The Big Update|21 April]], [[Class 171]], [[Class 319]] and [[Class 701]] units were introduced and services to [[Connolly]] commenced. On [[One Million Update|18th August]], [[Class 730]] units were introduced.
  +
  +
Throughout December 2018, plans for the future of the route were revealed, including the refurbishment of all [[Class 165]], [[Class 166]] and [[Class 387]] units, the commencement of services to [[James Street]], and the overhaul of [[Faraday Road]] station. All of these changes went into effect on [[SCR Version 1.1|31st December]], including the silent removal of all [[Class 701]] units from services.
  +
=== '''2019''' ===
  +
On [[SCR Version 1.3|14th May]], [[Class 508]] units entered service, being the first with [[Next Generation]] doors and interiors on the route. On 8th June, all [[Class 387]] units were transferred to [[Airlink]], being replaced by [[Class 379]] units also with Next Generation tech. On 31st August, all [[Class 171]] units were upgraded with the same tech from the recently introduced units.
  +
  +
=== '''2020''' ===
  +
On [[SCR Version 1.4.1|22nd February]], all [[Class 319]] units were upgraded, and [[Class 195]] units were introduced, already equipped with [[Next Generation]] doors and interiors. The platforms at [[Benton]] and [[West Benton]] received new decor. On 18th March, a fourth platform at [[Morganstown Docks]] station was constructed, but not put to use.
  +
  +
On [[SCR Version 1.5|1st May]], the [[Stepford Connect|Connect]] franchise was renewed to no longer include the Waterline route. All Class 165, Class 166, and Class 730 units were upgraded with [[CSG Model|Next Generation V2]] doors and interiors, and became the first trains to bare the new branding introduced with the franchise renewal. All [[Class 171]], [[Class 195]], and [[Class 379]] units were also fitted with the new branding.
  +
  +
On 2nd May, plans were revealed to retrofit all [[Class 508]] units with the new branding. On 22nd June, plans were revealed for an extension to [[Morganstown]] via [[Morganstown Docks]]. Both of these changes [[SCR Version 1.6|went into effect]] that same day.

== Trivia ==

  +
** Sometimes, more players at one time drive it, but most probably just for earning points. Decoration and general look can be pretty boring for players.

* This is the only operator that does not skip any stations.
  +
* This is the only operator where some trains can never hit their top speed at any point on the line without breaking the speed limits.
  +
* The only Waterline and [[Stepford Express|Express]] interchange is [[Benton]].
  +
* Likewise, the only Waterline and [[Airlink]] [[Interchanges|Interchange]] is at [[Morganstown]].
  +
* This operator was part of [[Stepford Connect|Connect]], but it no longer is due to Waterline becoming a separate franchise.
  +
* This operator has the least amount of depots, and every route except [[Routes/R010|R010]] on Waterline only has 1 [[Depots & Sidings|depot/siding]]. This could change when the extension past [[James Street]] is released.
  +
* This operator, along with [[Stepford Connect|Connect]], are the last operators to see their trains upgraded to [[Next Generation|Next-Gen]]. This operator also had the most [[Previous Generation]] trains prior to [[SCR Version 1.5|Version 1.5]].
  +
* This operator is the only one that does not serve [[Stepford City Zone]] or call at [[Stepford Central]].

Revision as of 04:56, 4 August 2020

Template:LineWaterline, stylized as waterline, operates rail services to various districts around Stepford County, such as Connolly, Newry, Newry Harbour, Greenslade, Benton, Morganstown and James Street. A full journey on the mainline, which runs from Newry to Benton takes about 5 minutes.

The route is classified as commuter rail due to its short travel times and small number of stations. The trains on this route have an average maximum speed of 100 miles per hour, but are limited to 90 miles per hour.

Prior to 1 May 2020, this route was a sub-franchise of Connect, branded as Waterline and bearing a  navy blue  colour scheme. It now operates as its own separate franchise and bears a  grayish blue  colour scheme.

History

2017

In October 2017, plans were announced to open a new route as part of Connect, following the mainline from Benton to Port Benton and continuing on to a new branch. Services commenced on 4th December, exclusively using Class 165 and Class 166 units and Morganstown Docks was constructed shortly after.

On 20th December, services to Newry and Newry Harbour commenced and ex-Connect Class 387 units were introduced.

2018

On 21 April, Class 171, Class 319 and Class 701 units were introduced and services to Connolly commenced. On 18th August, Class 730 units were introduced.

Throughout December 2018, plans for the future of the route were revealed, including the refurbishment of all Class 165, Class 166 and Class 387 units, the commencement of services to James Street, and the overhaul of Faraday Road station. All of these changes went into effect on 31st December, including the silent removal of all Class 701 units from services.

2019

On 14th May, Class 508 units entered service, being the first with Next Generation doors and interiors on the route. On 8th June, all Class 387 units were transferred to Airlink, being replaced by Class 379 units also with Next Generation tech. On 31st August, all Class 171 units were upgraded with the same tech from the recently introduced units.

2020

On 22nd February, all Class 319 units were upgraded, and Class 195 units were introduced, already equipped with Next Generation doors and interiors. The platforms at Benton and West Benton received new decor. On 18th March, a fourth platform at Morganstown Docks station was constructed, but not put to use.

On 1st May, the Connect franchise was renewed to no longer include the Waterline route. All Class 165, Class 166, and Class 730 units were upgraded with Next Generation V2 doors and interiors, and became the first trains to bare the new branding introduced with the franchise renewal. All Class 171, Class 195, and Class 379 units were also fitted with the new branding.

On 2nd May, plans were revealed to retrofit all Class 508 units with the new branding. On 22nd June, plans were revealed for an extension to Morganstown via Morganstown Docks. Both of these changes went into effect that same day.

Trivia

  • Many players agree that this route is dead due to the massive updates which seem to leave out Waterline.
    • Sometimes, more players at one time drive it, but most probably just for earning points. Decoration and general look can be pretty boring for players.
  • This is the only operator that does not skip any stations.
  • This is the only operator where some trains can never hit their top speed at any point on the line without breaking the speed limits.
  • The only Waterline and Express interchange is Benton.
  • Likewise, the only Waterline and Airlink Interchange is at Morganstown.
  • This operator was part of Connect, but it no longer is due to Waterline becoming a separate franchise.
  • This operator has the least amount of depots, and every route except R010 on Waterline only has 1 depot/siding. This could change when the extension past James Street is released.
  • This operator, along with Connect, are the last operators to see their trains upgraded to Next-Gen. This operator also had the most Previous Generation trains prior to Version 1.5.
  • This operator is the only one that does not serve Stepford City Zone or call at Stepford Central.
