Scheduled Passenger Services
Passenger services on High Steelforge are managed by the Office for Passenger Transport, which oversees fare rates, schedules, and standards used across the planet, although many aspects of operations for local services are typically devolved to the district, ward, or neighborhood level.
Services are divided based on equipment type, speed, and distance. Divisions are generally formalized as different planet-wide offices, or devolution of responsibility from the central infrastructure bureau to local and regional authorities.
Vacuum Trains
Radia
Radia services are the highest-speed, longest distance transport on High Steelforge. They typically run at speeds between mach 1 and 2, and travel 10-15 degrees around the planet between stops. Some Radia trains are equipped with pseudogravity, and are used to provide direct rail connection to Port L1 and the Palemoon. Radia services are designated RXXXX. Even service numbers travel towards (or up) the Spire, or clockwise about the Spire. Radia trains carry special branding, and typically have more on board amenities such as restaurant and lounge cars. Radia trains are always bilevel, and run on the large tunnel types.
Vacrail
Vacrail is the general name for vacuum trains not operating under the Radia brand. They typically (but not always) carry fewer amenities than Radia trains, and do not generally share rolling stock. Vacrail trains can theoretically run at the same speed as Radia, but not all rolling stock is capable of this, and these speeds are rarely reached for extended periods due to more frequent stop types. Vacrail services are used to provide more frequent stops along Radia routes, and to provide ultra high-speed services away from the Radia network. Vacrail lines are designated VXXXX, following the same conventions as the Radia system.
