Technic city public workshop [944] (BuckarooBanzai) - I need access to this area or a subarea.
 
 
 
Continued unsuccessfully north then east then south all the way around to the point 5091,15,63 where I first have access.

Early proposed services map of TCT which shows the network geographically to scale

Technic City Trains (TCT) is a railway operator in the greater Technic City area. Its authority is delegated by BuckarooBanzai to Blockhead for the purpose of building railways and stations and operating trains in the area. It operates two lines and will co-operate with PRC to ensure any regional connections.

Services

TCT operates two lines: The U1 metro line and S1 local train.

The U1 line will operate two kinds of services: Clockwise and anticlockwise. The stations (in clockwise order) are so far proposed with the names: Tardis, Workshop, Beach and Excavations. In Stage 2, clockwise services are proposed to stop at a new station at Technic City Harbour, which is between Excavations and Beach. Anticlockwise services will go straight from Excavations to Beach.

The S1 line will operate out of a new third terminal track at Tardis station and have a stop at Brickhouse, and later in Stage 2 at Snowy End.

History

TCT was founded on 23 November 2021 after Blockhead volunteered to operate trains in the area after noticing there was a decent amount of right of way already in place. Authority was quickly given to allow him to work on the railway.

The S1 line was in operation by Friday 26 November but its opening was not announced and signage was not yet complete.

TCT officially opened services on 3 December 2021. Two Subway wagons were provided for U1 by Kermit, and the S1 was already operating with Japanese wagons bought from admin shop. Station signage and a the passenger services map were completed on this date. Mapserver blocks were also added although they look rather rough since the mapserver draws straight lines instead of nice polygons.

Future

TCT does not yet have plans to extend or build new railway lines. There is a hope to extend U1 to Technic City Harbour in future, but this is conditional on permission from Ruggila.

A larger central station for Technic City needs to be planned in order to prepare for an increase in the number of services, whether local or regional and operated by TCT, PRC or others. A site is not yet identified.
