Your station register
Stations appear in the station control board once an open company route serves them. Search by name or code, filter for queues, interchanges or developed stations, and sort by pressure, passengers boarded, route count or name.
Each station card shows live waiting passengers, passengers boarded today, route coverage and installed investment. Open a station for destination-level passenger flows, every route that calls there, installed benefits and the full development plan.
Upgrades apply to that station, so the best investment is usually at a busy interchange or an important origin and destination rather than every stop equally.
The four upgrade trees
- Passenger information
- Timetables and progressively better departure displays improve demand, fare revenue and satisfaction.
- Passenger comfort
- Seating, waiting rooms and lounges improve satisfaction with smaller demand and revenue gains.
- Retail
- Vending, coffee, shops and food halls add commercial revenue and modest passenger appeal.
- CCTV
- Security coverage improves safety and reliability, with modest satisfaction and revenue benefits at higher tiers.
How upgrades are bought
Each tree has four tiers. Buy them in order: the next tier unlocks only when the previous one is installed. The station development section distinguishes installed, currently available and locked tiers before you commit cash.
The station capability panel totals all active benefits, while each tier lists its individual effects. Purchase controls use your live balance and disable themselves when the company cannot currently afford the work. Improvements complement good operations; they cannot make a repeatedly cancelled timetable attractive on their own.
Choosing the next investment
- 1Fix shortages, reliability and overdue maintenance first.
- 2Identify the station with the greatest route count or connection value.
- 3Choose information for stronger broad passenger appeal.
- 4Choose comfort or retail for a sustained passenger and yield improvement.
- 5Choose CCTV where safety and operational reliability are the limiting factors.
Operator tip
A focused upgrade programme at a key hub is normally more valuable than spreading the first tier across every station.
