Trivia[]

  • Before the renovation in V1.4.1, this station lacked scenery compared to other stations on the branch, and on the network as a whole. It had no roads or paths, no buildings or scenery, and even lacked an entrance.
    • The pre-V1.8 model of the station is based off of Bradford Forster Square station, in Bradford, UK.
    • The new station model is based off of Eastbourne station in real life, near Brighton, UK.
  • When V1.2 released, Whitefield released with its original design from SCR Legacy, which was low quality, making it unappealing. The only recognisable differences were the implementations of CIS boards and Concourse Information Boards, and the Stepford Connect signs. This was changed in V1.4.1 when the station was renovated.
    • The station received an entrance in this facelift.
    • The station pillars were changed from "Metro red" to "Stepford Connect turquoise."
    • This station had a large "Welcome to Whitefield" sign outside, originally in Connect branding. A similar sign was also in place at Westercoast and Millcastle Racecouse. They were replaced by plain signs, and were eventually removed.
  • Before the station was re-upgraded in V1.8, many players stated that Whitefield looked similar to Connolly, a Waterline station. This is because of the platform arrangement and station design.
    • Both stations had three platforms and were at the end of their respective branches.
    • Both stations had a vintage-like brick colour.
    • Both stations have platform canopies.
    • Both stations have a train stabled there.
  • Even though the station Whitefield Lido has the term "Whitefield" in its name, it is closer to Stepford Central than it is to Whitefield. This station is 3 stations apart from Whitefield Lido.
  • This station has step-free access as the platforms are on ground level.
  • Players can walk from here to Willowfield without trespassing or without going via another station.
  • This station was well known for the boarded-up Metro shop adjacent to the station (this indicated that Metro would never return).
    • However, in V1.8, the Metro commercial building was demolished with the second Whitefield upgrade.
  • This station was heavily speculated to receive another upgrade in V1.8, due to a sneak peek released on 21st November, 2021.
    • It was confirmed to be Whitefield when Version 1.8 was released to the public.
    • The new Whitefield station consisted of a larger entrance, a larger concourse, a hidden side entrance, a covered parking lot, revamped scenery, and wider platforms with a new track layout with a large open depot to the side.
    • Before V1.8, the island platform was Platforms 1 and 2. Now, it is Platforms 2 and 3.
  • Before V1.8, the station was sneak peeked with route indicators; they did not come with V1.8 though.
    • A preview with tracks curving to a terminating station, surrounded by scenery as well as a train wash on one of the tracks, was released on 22nd November, 2021, in the SCR Official Discord.
      • This was eventually confirmed to be Whitefield on V1.8's release.
  • When players leave this station on a train, there is graffiti on the bridge that says "Matty Wuz 'Ere": a nod to the fact that former Product Developer Mattyx2013 designed this station.
  • The branch this station is located on (Whitefield Branch), along with the Leighton West Branch, are the only Stepford Connect branches to have no services to St Helens Bridge.
  • This station is one of three stations to have a stabled train directly in it, the others being Connolly and Esterfield.
    • This is the only station to have a stabled train that is not on Waterline.
  • This station serves R022, which used to be Stepford Victoria <> Whitefield. But the former terminus was changed to Beechley in V1.8.
