Dovedale Central: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:04, 10 January 2025

Dovedale Central is the largest station in the game, housing 8 platforms, 4 terminus and 4 through. The station serves as a terminus for trains, as well as a connecting point for trains travelling towards Gleethrop End and Masonfield.

Parts of the station, such as its arches are modelled after London King's Cross railway station. In the station, new game features like digital arrival boards (currently only available on the terminating platforms) can be seen.

The station was opened with three platforms, one terminating, on June 2023, with the brand new Releovka System to accompany it.

The station was previously connected to the Lighthouse station, however it was unaccessible.

Trivia

The station was previously missing a physical link for some platforms, meaning people had to walk on the tracks, an act that is discouraged.
During the first few days of release, there was a small gap between the main entrance and Platform 4.
Previously, there were non-operational and permanently crossed out signals labelled DCA0 at the terminating platforms.
An earlier version of the station used the Releovka System for train routing.
A turntable was available past Pallion Harbour for a while. In older versions (while the Releovka System was in use), it was farther away.
