Pine Village is a major interchange station located in Outer-Neutralston for DLR, S-Bahn and Neutralston Metro services. The station is located in Pinewood Forest County and serves the local areas of Pine Village, Broadwell and Trividale. 
It lies between Pudding Drill Lane, Trividale-Broadwell and Pine Museum on the DLR, between Neutralston Central and Tezzaburg on the S-Bahn and Between Natolin and Racławicka on the Neutralston Metro. This station was rebuilt extensively during the late 2000s as part of Phase 3 of the DLR.
History
In 1970, after the LFT government completed "the city of the future" demand for a passenger railway increased as the population had to walk for 15 minutes to the nearest transport stop. In 1972, the LFT councillor for Pinewood Forest County, Ben Smith, proposed a plan for a new Pine Village station that would serve the newly opened Neutralston City Railway. In October 1973, construction started on Pine Village station, which was completed in April 1974. This new station consisted of 2 platforms.
The station would see 5 trains an hour. 3 bound to Neutralston Central, and 2 bound for the now demolished Follingsgrey Market. However, in 1983, the Neutralston City Railway got decommissioned in favour of the new A13 road that was being built a few minutes outside of Pine Village, and instead of the station, the track would be removed in favour of a bus line to serve the station. The station building itself would be demolished in 1987 with the original platforms being removed and the original track beds being filled in to make way for Grassby Point.In the early late 90s, a brand new Pine Village Station was constructed as part of Phase 1 of the DLR, this was built just down the road from the original site of the station, the ticket hall of the station was originally to be built with a brutalist look, however locals campaigned for the ticket hall to act as a replica of the original Pine Village Station station building. After a few local votes were held, TFN would oblige and instead build the ticket hall in the style of the old station's one.
