Setting Up Commuter and Metro Transit Lines
Selecting Commuter Rolling Stock
The Commonwealth Transport Group pack features several models suited for dense urban and subterranean transit networks. When setting up a metro or commuter line through MTR, select from these liveries:
- London Underground S7 and S700: Best suited for standard underground and sub-surface urban routes.
- CTA 7000 Series: Ideal for elevated concrete transit tracks and downtown loops.
- BR 423: Well-suited for suburban commuter lines carrying passengers between towns and central hubs.
- Tyne and Wear Metrocar: A specialized light rail option tailored for rapid regional transit.
Decorating Platforms and Stations
To give your stations a unified transit network aesthetic:
1. Construct your platforms alongside the tracks, providing ample space for passenger loading.
2. Place the custom signs provided by the pack around your platforms, concourses, and entryways to display the Commonwealth Transport Group branding.
3. Test the rolling stock on the platform track to verify clearance. When the commuter trains arrive, passengers will hear authentic audio effects, and you can step inside to check the illuminated interiors and branded grab rails.
