This looks amazing!  I'm very happy to see a sunken rail station, as we haven't had too many options in that category.  This looks to be the best of the bunch.  Great job!  :thumbsup:

Yes, really amazing  :thumbsup:. No doubt that we need more sunken rail station. Would like to see this one soon in my cities.  :D  ;)

I love it already! Great idea and wonderfully made (so far) :thumbsup: I hope you'll make a standard rail version as well ;)

This is drop dead gorgeous. 
I hear majestic music and a chior of angels when I look at the last pic.
I perfect addition to the game and I hope this means you might make more of this type of rail station. ;)

I guess I don't have to explain anyone why I came here ...  ::)

Great Idea! Not a common type but sometimes very useful - a way smaller version of yours is Göztepe on the asian side of Istanbul.

One thing you should change is the end of the platforms - they should fit to the radius of the track, not vice versa.

As for the final version, well, standart rail and Light Rail and standart + Light rail should be possible, isn't it .... ;)

Take care!

Well I hadn't thought about doing a sunken rail version.  :D
The thought about doing this station, is some years old.

Nardo: Platforms you say ? well haven't got around to do more than a mock-up of them.
Needed to "draw up" the big lines to get every thing to fit.

Will you be adding some walls to those two inner arches along the legth of the track?

Beautiful! There are too few sunken rail stations available around, and yours has just the old historical touch it needs to feel right at home in a core downtown area. Great!

Excellent. Its so nice to see something truly unique as well as beautiful under development. I'm very excited about this project and looking forward to seeing more soon. I'm still a little confused though. Will heavy rail be an option for those of us who aren't overly fond of light rail and trams?

cubby: I was planning to release this as a heavy rail, maybe a version combing heavy rail with glr as well.

Looks fantastic, however I think you should move the platforms closer to the tracks.

Post by: joelyboy911 on July 17, 2010, 04:09:59 PM
I agree with Ioan, the platforms should be closer to the tracks, so the passengers don't have so much of a gap to mind.

You could also add some markings on the platform, such as instructions to "Stand Behind the Yellow Line"

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm1.static.flickr.com%2F64%2F222211509_86a998c2e6.jpg&hash=b07597da84cea417a596921ba88364f2f62da98e)

Safety first!  :D (But only if it doesn't spoil the aesthetics)

Anyway, I really like the way it looks right at the moment.

Ioan and joelyboy: If you place one of trains on the track there is almost no space left, between it and the platform. Btw the platforms has a n overhang.

joelyboy: might just add a yellow line.
