AirLink (formerly AirExpress) is a semi-high speed and airport rail line in Stepford County Railway. A full journey on the Stepford Main Line takes at least eight minutes non-stop, running from Stepford Central to Airport Central. The brand originally had a yellow color scheme and now has an orange color scheme.
In mid-2022, Stepford County Railway introduced the Airlink Shuttle branding on its new rolling stock, Class 345. There is only one route using this branding, the R060 (Terminals Shuttle) which is exclusive to Class 345.
Airlink's route is classified as a semi-high-speed rail and an airport rail link, linking all airport terminals.
History
November, 2017: Plans for a semi-high speed railway linking Stepford City and the Airport are revealed to the public, under the name of AirExpress.
December 13th, 2017: Testing begins for AirExpress, now renamed to AirLink, using a Class 345 ‘Aventra’ train. The tests are successful and the AirLink network begins construction.
December, 2018: AirLink is completed but not opened. Testing resumes, deciding against using the Class 345 due to its slower speed and using Class 185 ‘Desiro’ and Class 802 ‘AT300’ trains instead.
December 31, 2018: AirLink services officially begin for passengers.
