Staggington

Staggington Railway Station

Location of Staggington.

Staggington is a second-generation city on the western marshes in the county of Staggington. It is frequently referred to as "the Stink" due to its history of high pollution and its former factories. Since 1998, the city underwent a major scheme which transformed the landscape and replaced the pinnacles.

Staggington is the third largest city in Highland.

### History

The station was built in 1979.

By 1950, Staggington's population reached 54,750, making it the second most populated city at the time. Drum, meanwhile, only housed 51,200 residents.

Also at the time, Staggington never had any suburbs. Firwood was built in 1994 and as of today houses around 18,505 residents. Sharpall and Parkgate followed suit in 2003, and Easthill in 2007.

### Other Information

Staggington has multiple railway stations, with its main one having 16 platforms. Firwood Grove has 4, while West Firwood also has 4. There is also a metropolitan service, called the "RedLiner" which runs to and from Windover, which is a large town a few miles north of Staggington.

As Staggington is very large, it has many connections to many areas; St. Tenensburgh, Drum and Stanwood are the three main areas the station has services to, but this number will increase once both the Barnborough line and the Ashway-Staggington lines are completed in 2018.

### Railway Station

Staggington's new railway station was completed on May 28, 2018, after nearly a year of rebuilding works.

Staggington's old railway station had 10 platforms, of which, 9 were through platforms.

Staggington's new railway station has 16 platforms, giving it the title of Highland's biggest railway station outside of Drum & Colby, and the second biggest station in the country.

The new railway station will provide much more reliable services, and will allow more terminating services as well as more through services.
