## Construction Details

### Construction finished

Works ongoing

The **Serena Line** is the oldest metro line on the server, opening the original stretch between Deanmark and NewTown in October 2020. It currently runs from NewTown Station to Noxburgh North Junction, with 8 stations along the route, providing service to each of the main player hubs on the server. This also makes it the longest line currently in operation. It is coloured a reddish orange on the official network maps. It is named for Serena Island, where construction began.

## History

The Serena Line opened in October 2020, having been constructed by rshuttle1337 to connect the spawn town of Deanmark to the up and coming player hub, NewTown. It ran along the seabed in an enclosed glass tube, passing directly through the bases of both Spawn Island and Serena Island, before dipping into the ground in a tunnel clad in prismarine. From here, it ran entirely underground before resurfacing
to cross the NewTown viaduct.

The line was instantly popular, and soon after opening, was extended east past Mount Picard to the economic centre of Trinsic. By November, within just a month of operation, the line was extended through the residential neighborhood of Deanmark, south past the Desert Farms, and into the growing waterside town of Edale.

Up until this point, all of the tunnels along the Serena Line had been dug by hand, making extensions very time consuming. In January 2021, following the successful opening of the Ocean Line, an Invader Industries Tunnel Bore was used to dig the Percival Tunnel in just three days, connecting the current terminus, Noxburgh North Junction, to the line.

## Service

Beginning in the western terminus, NewTown Station, the **Serena Line** travels east across the NewTown Viaduct, past several large estates on the outskirts of the town. It dives under the water, straight into the End Portal Station. From here, the line climbs slightly and turns north, splitting away from the Ocean Line, which turns south. It then turns east again, entering into the lavishly clad Prismarine Tunnel, and makes a stop at the Guardian Farm Station. The line continues through Serena Station, set into the base of the island itself, underneath Spawn Island, then arrives in the subaquatic Deanmark Station, the oldest station on the network.

From Deanmark Station, the line travels east past the base of Mount Picard and the Mount Picard Seed Vault, crossing the Trinsic Viaduct and making a hairpin turn into Trinsic Station. The line then travels westwards back to Deanmark, this time stopping at the Residential District Station, before turning south for a long stretch along the edge of the Big Water. The line travels underneath many of the colossal farming structures built above the desert here, through the soon to be constructed Desert Farms Station. Continuing through a desert temple, the line turns west into the mountainside, bypassing the Edale Valley and emerging by the marina at Edale Station, where it meets once again with the Ocean Line.

From Edale, the track dives far down to the depth of the Ocean Line and Percival Tunnels, running south far beneath the water. It makes a steep ascent inside Spire Rock, then crosses the Noxburgh Bay Bridge, terminating at Noxburgh North Junction.

## Expansion plans

Main article: ShuttleMetro § Future Expansion
As the current program of track maintenance and modernisation continues steadily, plans are in place for potential extensions to the Serena Line. These plans would see the current line extended from Noxburgh west through the Unnamed Vacation Island and Cerro Puntiagudo back to NewTown, closing the southern half loop. A second half loop would be constructed around the northern edge of the Big Water, from Deanmark, through Invader City and Deanville, and back to NewTown again. This would complete the construction of the **Serena Circle**. With these extensions, the original stretch of track between NewTown and Trinsic would be dropped from the line to become a line of its own, the Prismarine Line. Ironically, this would mean that Serena Station, the namesake of the Serena Line, would no longer be on the line at all.
