Sydney Suburban

Description
An anachronistic 1:1 scale endless map of the Sydney basin, with 105 stations (95 of which have passengers in the DLC).

Included are:
  • All of the current Sydney Trains suburban railway network
  • All of the currently open or under construction Sydney Metro lines, plus a planned extension of the Western Sydney Airport line
  • All of the current freight lines, plus a few that have been abandoned or repurposed, including no longer extant freight yards
  • Two light rail lines (L1 and L4 - including planned stage 2) that partially run on the former freight lines, including the parts that are street running
  • The heritage tram line from Loftus to the Royal National Park (formerly passenger heavy rail)
  • The abandoned railway line to Rookwood Cemetary, including its city terminus at Mortuary station
Many stations have had to be omitted in order to make it playable, but all of the important ones should be present. Also the number of platforms has been reduced at certain stations. Most terminal platforms have been made sinks in order to increase playability. Stations are colour coded:
  • Red stations serve freight trains only.
  • Green stations serve intercity trains.
  • Purple stations are other stations that have sinks.
  • Blue stations are interchanges with multiple sets of non-connecting platforms.
Tips
The starting location is the T7 line between Lidcome and Olympic Park. You must purchase the two autoblocks when the game starts - the tech is unlocked for you already. Suggested expansion directions are Parramatta/Westmead; Birrong/Bankstown; Morebank/Chullora/Enfield/Cooks River for freight.

There are many pre-built tunnels, all of which are non-buildable in game as they pass under walls and/or stations, so please don't delete them. They have zero length and max speed limit.

Intercities are probably not viable without unlimited stations, as you will need to unlock one of the main line border stations and all the stations between it and Central.

The light rail lines are intended to be played with short Urban Transit trains and have platforms that are too short for other trains, and also no sinks. They are a good source of red train points once you unlock them.
