The **Albion High Speed Rail Line,** more popularly known as the **Albion Speedline** (Japanese: **アルビオン高速線**; *Arubion kōsoku-sen*) or the **U-Line** as a result of its shape, and acronymized as **ASL**, is one of the 11 main speedlines, or *Kousokusen*, of the planet of Hyperion. Providing high-speed rail access to all of the major cities and metroplexes of the Albion continent, the ASL interfaces with other speedlines (such as the Atlantis-Arcadia Speedline and Destino Speedline) constituting an overarching rail network that provides rapid rail access to practically all of Hyperion's population centers.

Opening in 2206 as an initial high speed rail line between the old capital of Hyperion, The Port, and that of the quickly growing urban zone of Jade City, the Albion Speedline has come to circle the entirety of Albion's thousands of miles of coastal metroplexes, now starting at the city of Kabalasan and terminating at the city of Vert. Being one of the oldest speedlines in the Planetary Republic of Hyperion, it is also some of the most widely used. ASL is managed by the Hyperian Railway Corporation, a statutory corporation formed in 2201.

As with all speedlines, three main services exist on the ASL; the all-stop *Discoverer* service, semi-fast *Sojourner* service, and limited stop *Explorer* service. The *Discoverer* service stops at all stations on the Albion Speedline route, whereas the *Sojourner* service only stops at major hubs such as The Port, Jade City, and Opulent Pearl. The *Explorer* only has four stops on its route: Kabalasan, Jade City, Opulent Pearl, and Vert, thereby making it the fastest speedline service in the ASL.

## Classes and onboard services

All Albion Speedline trains feature two major carriage classes, regular and sleeper, split into their own separate subclasses.

### Regular classes

49 out of the 70 carriages on Albion Speedliner trains are regular class carriages, meaning that (with the exception of the executive class) no sleeping arrangements can be found. Instead, these classes are meant to mainly be used to sleep within their chairs, or otherwise spectate the trip between cities.

#### Executive class

Every ASL train has one executive class car, with each floor of the carriage being its own expansive executive room. These rooms come with their own expansive beds, partitioned bathrooms that include a shower, kitchenettes, extreme fidelity simuVision screens, office spaces, and eye-pleasing slots that dispense any desired pillow, toiletry or towel. All executive rooms are also billed with their own attendant, synthetic or human, who provides additional services such as luggage and catering support.
