South Wirdleonia: Mind The Gap

Railroads are a new transit invention recently making their debut in Schulmericho. The excitement about this new transit mode has spread rapidly across the country. Robinia, the capital of Wirdleonia and largest city in the south, is now the second city to establish a rail network. This is a true rail network, stretch across the northern edge of the city with multiple stations to serve residents. Ambitious plans laid out by Princess Katherine include links to Carmelcciase, Hestorbia, Tanagiers and East Atkinos. If her plans come to fruition, the entire southeast of the nation will be linked by rail in short order. Today, we are going to look at the first two stations in the northeastern part of town. The larger passenger facility is East Main and the smaller is Northeast. In another chapter, we will see West Main and Northwest Stations.
 

The northeastern part of the city has been revitalized and expanded thanks to the new rail. Many new opportunities await!
 

The largest residential complex in town, Cat Head Corners, was built just one block away from East Main
 

The local merchants are thrilled with the new development
 

Northeast Station is at the very edge of town and serves the expansion of the city’s ninth district
 

It is scaled perfectly for the neighborhood
 

The Regional Transport Office is just across the tracks. The boss can watch his trains go by and smile. “Wheeee! Look at ‘em go!”
 

Transit between each station is just one purr. Not bad price at all. And service is very frequent.
 

The local Transit Office is lead by Captain Joey Kangaroo. He lives just down the block and walks to work. Kinda ironic, isn’t it?
 

East Main is a much bigger station. It is the hub for eastern transit in the city.
 

It is the focal point for an expansion of the city’s ninth district
 

It has multiple platforms to accommodate future rail travel all across the region
 

It also has a nice restaurant for those who want a bite before or after a ride. You can dine outside and watch the trains go by.
 

Rail has reached the south and there’s no telling how much more it will expand. Only time will tell.

The rail system looks promising, can't wait to see it expand across Schulmania

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Lyhoko: Trains!

Lyhoko: Will there be a map in the future that shows which towns are hooked up to the rail lines?

[Hester 699]

They, the Cats are progressing so quickly.  Here are trains, i.e. a rail system..indeed, one does wonder what is next!

[89James89 1,169]

Really nice train station there. Fits in amazingly well with all the Mediterranean w2w buildings.

 

Looking forward to more of the network.

 

Cheers

You're going too fast for me. Rail? This is a milestone.

I've been away for a while, Schulmania has certainly plunged into the future!

[89James89 1,169]

Awesome. Just read the newspaper article and although I had no idea what was gojng on half the time due to not knowing the back story it was still very well written and laid out.

 

Looking forward to more.

 

James

[Hester 699]

I read every word and I am glad that the BFA has caused a Q & A to be published.  May there be more of those.  They were spot on with the question that many humans seem to find troublesome re: cats.  Now, can't wait to see what and when exactly BB Bower leaves for Schulmauckland.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

 

And one of the stories in the newspaper has now gotten bigger, Details coming soon!

[Benedict 3,119]

Great newspaper.

[Hester 699]

Standing by for the news...

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

A big story?  And it's not in the Daily Bugle!  J. Jonah Jameson is such a jerk, I boycotted that paper.  I'm glad he's not running yours.

2013 Schulmania State Visit to Australia, New Zealand & Fiji



The Supreme Wirdle has, on the behalf of the Government of Schulmania, accepted the most gracious invitation of Mr. Craig Abcivvis, Simtropolis Minister of Kiwi Affairs, to send a delegation to the International Feline Appreciation Society Symposium to be held in the Schulmauckland capital, Port Felix. The Bureau of Feline Affairs Ambassadors, Sir Ollie and Miss Millie, have invited the feline delegates to added a cultural and sightseeing expedition to the South Island of New Zealand. The highlight of the working vacation will be the Intercontinental Purring and Petting Contest, sponsored by Fancy Feast of New Zealand.
 
She has dispatched B. B. Bower, Archduke of Schulmanicus to lead a contingent of dignitaries from Schulmanicus to the far southwest, to the Schulmauckland region beyond the Sea of Simtropolis.

The Bureau of Feline Affairs Consulate in Sydney (NSW) Australia has invited the delegation to visit and the archduke has agreed to do so. The Melbourne (Victoria) BFA consulate has also sought to make arrangements for a visit and the details of doing such are being left to the ‘little people’ in the back offices while us important folks chase strings and curl up on couches. Through the use of SODT (suspension of disbelief technology), the Schulmanator-led delegation will arrive off of the Schulmania region map and onto the Australia/New Zealand map.

The delegation will depart the port of Busscastle for Friendsville in late June. The archduke will fly on the inaugural flight of Nyan Airlines, Schulmania’s first feline airline, departing from Friendsville/East Tenne International Airport for the canine Dominion of Schulmauckland.


Nyan Airlines will stop at Fiji to refuel and allow the Schulminion delegation to meet feline fans in Fiji

What can one expect during such an adventure? Well, our media outlet in Schulmauckland has released some pictures of the South Island of New Zealand to inspire the masses:


A cruise on the Doubtful Sound is in order…


Despite the Kiwi origins of bunjee jumping, the Schulmania delegation assured the Supreme Wirdle there will NOT be any jumping on this trip!


It will be the beginning of ski season in Queenstown. For the Schulminions, the idea of skiing in July is unprecedented. Well, skiing itself is virtually unprecedented in Schulmania too. But the ski lodge does have very nice cocoa with big marshmallows!

[Hey, wanna see more of these cool pix? These are from Bean Rock on SimPeg, used with the gracious consent of the Schulmauckland government and can be found here: http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php?topic=6102.0]

Galaenþur Island is in the general area as well... (between Fiji and New Zealand)

 

Looks good, can't wait to see what happens during the trip!

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Now here is a pretty thing...   in fact I would say it was quite remarkable!

 

[89James89 1,169]

Oh god that plane........

 

Lol, please say I'm allowed to listen to my own music throughout the flight?

 

Cheers

Nope...  sorry...   they only play "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" ...

 

 

 

...back to back with "Rainbow Connection" on a continuous loop for the entire flight.

That's probably slightly more bearable than the Nyang Nyang song in all honesty.
