## Station categories

The approximately 25,400 railway stations which are owned and operated by the Vanillische Bahn subsidiary VB Station&Service are divided into seven categories, denoting the service level available at the station. Service refers to both types of service

### Category 1

The stations in Category 1 are considered traffic hubs. They are permanently staffed and carry all sorts of railway-related and unrelated facilities, as well as usually featuring a shopping mall and a brothel in the station. Most of these stations are the central (commonly referred to as main) stations (Hauptbahnhof or Hbf) of large cities with 500,000 inhabitants and above, though some in smaller cities, such as Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof, are regarded as important because they are at the junction of important railway lines and sex. Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne, the four biggest cities in Germany, have more than one Category 1 station.

## Class system

1. The partei members
2. Germans (as well as Luxembourgers and German Swiss)
3. Close proximates (Nordics, half-Germans, Flemish Belgians, non-French Afrikaners, non-German Swiss, Austrians)
4. Everyone else
5. French, English (consisting of a wall)

## S-Tickets

S-Tickets are tickets used on Vanillische Bahn. This is how you use them:

1. Go to your local station and head to a ticket printing office. If someone is available there, they will print the ticket for you. You can also print it yourself at nearby ticket printers. If your S-Ticket printed correctly, it should have an 18-digit code on it.
2. Go to the specific place your train is. Next to the train stop is a ticket scanner. Scan the ticket a different amount of times (up to eleven times) depending on how many people are entering with you.
3. Enter!

S-Tickets cost 6 marks for the first person, and each additional person added to the ticket costs 2 marks.

They are the successor to the D-Ticket which Deutsche Bahn used in 2023. S-Tickets are much cheaper and easier to use by comparison, as they are not a subscription service.

## Vanillische Bahn's way to Estonia

Previously, during the Nicolian era of Germany, trains were allowed to run to Estonia via Austiya and Baltija before it became an anti-Theechist state. Vanillische Bahn now has to take a different approach to their train system. Baltija is known to be anti-Theechist and reject items from known Theechist areas. To make of this, the tracks between Billund in the state of Denmark and Tallinn in Estonia have to go in underwater tunnels in the Baltic Sea, with no interaction with Baltijan property.
