Misato Station is a [[Harmony Rail Transit (Lamtsu)|HRT (Lamtsu)]] station in Misato City, Lamtsu Capital City, Hon Kwong Province, Federation of Sorano. The Station was the most important station in the HRT Network in Lamtsu, being the primary terminus for long-distance lines to Joban and South-East Sorano. It was also the 3nd busiest Station in the Joban-Sorano Region, with more than 700,000 commuters using the station in June 2016. The station was closed for reconstruction after the HRT (Lamtsu) scandals that followed the 2022 Sora train wreck, with many of the Main Lines being rerouted away from the station and the Kansai Main Line being split off to the MRT Corporation.
Misato Station is a [[Harmony Rail Transit (Lamtsu)|HRT (Lamtsu)]] station in Misato City, [[Lamtsu Capital City]], Hon Kwong Province, Federation of Sorano. By HRT (Lamtsu) [[Station Classification|station classification]], it is a [[Station Classification|class II station]] (Non-Shinkansen Intercity). It forms the city's main rail terminal in the north. As of 2nd Febuary 2022, the station is no longer attacked to a Cargo Terminal, so it was stripped of it's ranking as a [[Station Classification|Class III Freight Terminal]].
 
Although it is only officially served by the [[Mihara Line|Mihara]], [[Namboku Line|Namboku]], [[Yamate Line|Yamate]] and [[Ome Line]]<nowiki/>s, Misato is the starting point for most of the major Limited Express trains to and from [[Lamtsu Station|Lamtsu]], as well as being a station on the Sakuho-Kujukuri Line. It is also the ''de facto'' terminus of the Mihara Line (local), and Yamate Line trains officially start and end their service here. The [[Seiyo Main Line]] and the [[Lamtsu Main Line]] are also expected to terminate here when the extension is completed.
 
[[SMRT Misato Station]] ([[Shima Line]],  [[Sakuho Line]], [[Misato City Tram]]), and [[Sora Station]] ([[Ome Heritage Line|Heritage Ome Line]]) are directly connected to [[Misato Station]], with the 3 stations together expected to average similar numbers to the original. The Misato Bus Terminal used to operate opposite the Station until the bankruptcy of [[Misato City Railway]], after which bus services stopped operating in Lamtsu.
 
The Station was the most important station in the HRT Network in Lamtsu, being the primary terminus for long-distance lines to Joban and South-East Sorano, although this role has diminished somewhat with the opening of the Shinkansen Lines at Lamtsu station. It was also the 3nd busiest Station in the Joban-Sorano Region, with more than 700,000 commuters using the station in June 2016 (boarding passengers only)
 
Despite the importance of the station, no lines of the Lamtu Metro network pass through, connect or come close to this area.
 
Misato Station used to be adjacent to Misato Frieght Terminal, adjacent to the Station and connected to the [[Misato Frieght Line]], Ome Line and Mihara Line. The station was demolished in 2022 to make way for the Misato Central Mall.  
 
The station was closed for reconstruction after the HRT (Lamtsu) scandals that followed the 2022 Sora train wreck, with many of the Main Lines being rerouted away from the station and the Kansai Main Line being split off to the MRT Corporation.

=== Station Layout ===
The station consists of 8 island platforms serving 16 tracks on the first floor, elevated above the main concourse. Track 15 is split into 2 platforms, one for Northbound 2-car Limited Express trains and one for southbound Ome Line local trains. The platforms for the Kujukuri Line are on the first basement, and are marked as platforms 18 and 19. There is a bridge above all the elevated platforms which connects directly to SMRT Misato station and the Misato Central Mall. There is a small building to the northwest of the main station that holds the platforms for the Ome Heritage Line.

==== Conception ====
==== Conception ====
Misato Station was originally conceived as the terminus of the Yamate Line in 1946. However, pressure from the local government forced the extension of the Line to Hikawa, delaying its opening by a year. The original station was constructed at-grade, with the Yamate Line platforms adjacent to Misato Hill.
[[File:Misato1 OpenTTD.png|thumb|The original Misato Station design is very popular among players of the open-source tycoon game OpenTTD.]]
Misato Station was originally conceived as the terminus of the Yamate Line in 1946. However, pressure from the local government forced the extension of the Line to Hikawa, delaying its opening by a year. The original station was constructed at-grade, with the Yamate Line platforms adjacent to Misato Hill. The [[Misato Frieght Terminal|Misato Rail Yard]] was built to the west of the station and served to store the trains for the Yamate Line. The initial station design was a simple stone set of side platforms connected by an overhead bridge, with a bay platform to put in and remove trains from service. This platform layout has fallen out of common use due to the waste of space that is causes, but similar platforms can be observed at Yamate Station, abeit without the depot. A replica of the original station can be found at [[Lamtsu Railway Park]]
 
==== Early Days ====
With the opening of the Namboku Line in 1968 and the Completion of the Kujukuri-Sakuho Line in 1975, Misato Station replaced Lamtsu station as the de facto primary interchange. This triggered the First Misato Station Recontstruction, replacing the stone side platforms and brick station building with the andensite station that is known as the classic design for Misato Station, being the design from 1974 to 2022. The platforms were also lengthened from 100m to 200m, in preperation for future expansions. However, Misato City Railway maintained that Lamstu station was the main terminus, making it the de jure interchange and therefore received the bulk of the funding. This resulted in the infrastructure of Misato Station being very lacking in maintinance in the future.


==== Further Expansion ====
==== Further Expansion ====
With the opening of the Namboku Line in 1968 and the Completion of the Kujukuri-Sakuho Line in 1975, Misato Station replaced Lamtsu station as the de facto primary interchange. however, Misato City Railway maintained that Lamstu station was the main terminus, making it the de jure interchange and therefore received the bulk of the funding. This resulted in the infrastructure of Misato Station being very lacking.
Subsequent platforms were built on a separate station building and elevated, for the terminating 4-car lines on ground level. However, the lack of funding and the prohibitive land costs in Misato prompted the platform width to be reduced from the 10m standard on the Yamate Line to 5 metres for the elevated platforms. By 2015, Misato Station was severely overcrowded, with reports of suffocations due to lack of platform space being not uncommon. This was further exasperated due to the cross-platform transfers between the [[Mihara Line|Mihara]] and [[Namboku Line|Namboku]] lines, where crowds of passengers would often crush each other in an attempt to squeeze onto the trains. By this time, almost every line would pass through or terminate at Misato, excluding the Tozai Line and the Chuo Main Line. As the Chuo Main Line was built by HRT and not [[Misato City Railway]] (Now MRT), the Line was prohibited from cutting across the Yamate Line and the decision was made for it to terminate at Otaki, with some services continuing to Fukaaura.

As the Chuo Main Line was built by HRT and not Misato City Railway (Now MRT), the Line was prohibited from cutting across the Yamate Line and the decision was made for it to terminate at Otaki, with some services continuing to Fukaaura.
Between these times, Misato Station would become classified as a Terminus Station, which refers to a station on the Yamate Line where there are terminating long-distance trains. It would retain this title until the 2021 revision, which attempted to stop Ome Line traffic at Mihara and replace the services with Vtuber Park Line trains. This was met with intense backlash however, and the process would not be completed by the time of the 2022 Lamtsu Railway Rebuild.

==== 2022 Misato Station Rebuild ====
In the aftermath of the Sora Train Wreck, HRT Lamtsu had a revision of the railroad doctrine, and the decision was made to spread out the terminals of the lines along the Yamate Line rather than concentrating them all along Misato station. The Vtuber Park Line was moved to Kimotsuki, and the Kansai Main Line was moved to MRT Misato station across the road. Tram operations also were moved to terminate at the new Misato Tram terminal.
In the aftermath of the Sora Train Wreck, HRT Lamtsu had a revision of the railroad doctrine, and the decision was made to spread out the terminals of the lines along the Yamate Line rather than concentrating them all along Misato station. The [[Vtuber Park Line]] was moved to [[Kata Station|Kimotsuki (now Kata)]], and the [[Kansai Main Line]] was moved to [[SMRT Misato Station|MRT Misato]] station across the road. Tram operations also were moved to terminate at the new Misato Tram terminal. However, there is a tram stop opposite Misato Station for tram services that are continuing through the area.


Misato's old stone-brick design, while nostalgic, was not kept in the rebuild. Misato station was completely transformed from an overcrowded dinky station to a modern, futuristic station. The Engineer and Architect of the station was subsequently put in charge of the Lamtsu Railways. However, despite this amount of responsibility, he was still officially a minor employee and thus drew a very low salary, leading to accusations at HRT of Black Company behavior.

The Engineer and Architect of the station was subsequently put in charge of the Lamtsu Railways. However, despite this amount of responsibility, he was still officially a minor employee and thus drew a very low salary, leading to accusations at HRT of Black Company behavior. This later led to a second lawsuit, and after which Harmony Rail Transit was forced to hand over the Sakuho Line to MRT. The Sakuho Line will cease operations at Misato Station within the next year, going directly to SMRT Misato and having the Kujukuri Line take over the area.


=== Design ===
The reconstruction of Misato Station took place in a set of stages:
Misato Station is a modernist style, with a huge roof covering 5 Island platforms, with the concourse at ground level. An elevated linkway above the platforms connects them directly to the opposite side of Misato High Street, as well as Misato Central Mall and MRT Misato station. On the map, the colour of the station is grey, but the colour scheme of the area is much more light-blue. The concourse preserves the older andesite grey colour scheme, while the floor of the concourse is a tiled pattern alternating Polished Diorite and Calcite. On the North-West of the station, there is a heritage area in the style of the old Misato Station for the heritage Ome Line. The Sakuho-Kujukuri Line platforms retain their old design.
 
# Demolition of the old Misato Station and Misato Frieght Terminal
# Encasing the old Sakuho Line platforms in concrete before starting other works
# Constructing the foundation of the station
# Constructing the platforms and laying the ballast
# Constructing Misato Central Mall
# Constructing the cover over the station
# Connecting the platforms to the railroad
# Finishing Touches


The old Misato Station was very much brutalist architecture, with the station constructed of mostly Stone Brick, Andesite, and the occasional Iron Support.
The entire process took less than a year, due to the immense amounts of manpower invested to complete the station in record time. At least 25,000 construction workers were involved in the process.

=== Design ===
Misato Station is a modernist style, with a huge roof covering 8 Island platforms, with the concourse at ground level. An elevated linkway above the platforms connects them directly to the opposite side of Misato High Street, as well as Misato Central Mall and MRT Misato station. On the map, the colour of the station is grey, but the colour scheme of the area is much more light-blue. The concourse preserves the older andesite grey colour scheme, while the floor of the concourse is a tiled pattern alternating Polished Diorite and Calcite. On the North-West of the station, there is a heritage area in the style of the old Misato Station for the heritage Ome Line. The Kujukuri Line platforms retain their old design.
 
Misato Station has no station building, instead opting for a ground-level concourse with elevated platforms. Ticketing offices can be found on the outside of the station, and within the Misato Central Mall. The ticket offices are Midori no Madoguchi ticket offices, and have the most extensive ticketing capabilities of all the stations. From top-up of the smartcard to standard tickets, including those sold by other companies in Joban. For example, the KCR first class ticket can be purchased here as well.
 
The old Misato Station was very much brutalist architecture, with the station constructed of mostly Stone Brick, Andesite, and the occasional Iron Support. The station had 6 elevated platforms serving 8 tracks, 4 island and 2 side. The shelters were simple umbrella shapes, and the flooring was brick.

Misato Station is a HRT (Lamtsu) station in Misato City, Lamtsu Capital City, Hon Kwong Province, Federation of Sorano. By HRT (Lamtsu) station classification, it is a class II station (Non-Shinkansen Intercity). It forms the city's main rail terminal in the north. As of 2nd Febuary 2022, the station is no longer attacked to a Cargo Terminal, so it was stripped of it's ranking as a Class III Freight Terminal.

Although it is only officially served by the Mihara, Namboku, Yamate and Ome Lines, Misato is the starting point for most of the major Limited Express trains to and from Lamtsu, as well as being a station on the Sakuho-Kujukuri Line. It is also the de facto terminus of the Mihara Line (local), and Yamate Line trains officially start and end their service here. The Seiyo Main Line and the Lamtsu Main Line are also expected to terminate here when the extension is completed.

SMRT Misato Station (Shima Line, Sakuho Line, Misato City Tram), and Sora Station (Heritage Ome Line) are directly connected to Misato Station, with the 3 stations together expected to average similar numbers to the original. The Misato Bus Terminal used to operate opposite the Station until the bankruptcy of Misato City Railway, after which bus services stopped operating in Lamtsu.

The Station was the most important station in the HRT Network in Lamtsu, being the primary terminus for long-distance lines to Joban and South-East Sorano, although this role has diminished somewhat with the opening of the Shinkansen Lines at Lamtsu station. It was also the 3nd busiest Station in the Joban-Sorano Region, with more than 700,000 commuters using the station in June 2016 (boarding passengers only)

Despite the importance of the station, no lines of the Lamtu Metro network pass through, connect or come close to this area.

Misato Station used to be adjacent to Misato Frieght Terminal, adjacent to the Station and connected to the Misato Frieght Line, Ome Line and Mihara Line. The station was demolished in 2022 to make way for the Misato Central Mall.

The station was closed for reconstruction after the HRT (Lamtsu) scandals that followed the 2022 Sora train wreck, with many of the Main Lines being rerouted away from the station and the Kansai Main Line being split off to the MRT Corporation.

Station Layout

The station consists of 8 island platforms serving 16 tracks on the first floor, elevated above the main concourse. Track 15 is split into 2 platforms, one for Northbound 2-car Limited Express trains and one for southbound Ome Line local trains. The platforms for the Kujukuri Line are on the first basement, and are marked as platforms 18 and 19. There is a bridge above all the elevated platforms which connects directly to SMRT Misato station and the Misato Central Mall. There is a small building to the northwest of the main station that holds the platforms for the Ome Heritage Line.

Exits

Exits E, F and G are not wheelchair accessible, as the overhead connecting bridge does not have lift access.

Passenger Statistics

In 2022, 745,872 commuters used the station daily on average, making it the busiest station in the Shintetsu Network. However, with the expansion project, the figure is expected to almost double from it's current amount.

History and Technical Details

History

Conception

The original Misato Station design is very popular among players of the open-source tycoon game OpenTTD.

Misato Station was originally conceived as the terminus of the Yamate Line in 1946. However, pressure from the local government forced the extension of the Line to Hikawa, delaying its opening by a year. The original station was constructed at-grade, with the Yamate Line platforms adjacent to Misato Hill. The Misato Rail Yard was built to the west of the station and served to store the trains for the Yamate Line. The initial station design was a simple stone set of side platforms connected by an overhead bridge, with a bay platform to put in and remove trains from service. This platform layout has fallen out of common use due to the waste of space that is causes, but similar platforms can be observed at Yamate Station, abeit without the depot. A replica of the original station can be found at Lamtsu Railway Park

Early Days

With the opening of the Namboku Line in 1968 and the Completion of the Kujukuri-Sakuho Line in 1975, Misato Station replaced Lamtsu station as the de facto primary interchange. This triggered the First Misato Station Recontstruction, replacing the stone side platforms and brick station building with the andensite station that is known as the classic design for Misato Station, being the design from 1974 to 2022. The platforms were also lengthened from 100m to 200m, in preperation for future expansions. However, Misato City Railway maintained that Lamstu station was the main terminus, making it the de jure interchange and therefore received the bulk of the funding. This resulted in the infrastructure of Misato Station being very lacking in maintinance in the future.

Further Expansion

Subsequent platforms were built on a separate station building and elevated, for the terminating 4-car lines on ground level. However, the lack of funding and the prohibitive land costs in Misato prompted the platform width to be reduced from the 10m standard on the Yamate Line to 5 metres for the elevated platforms. By 2015, Misato Station was severely overcrowded, with reports of suffocations due to lack of platform space being not uncommon. This was further exasperated due to the cross-platform transfers between the Mihara and Namboku lines, where crowds of passengers would often crush each other in an attempt to squeeze onto the trains. By this time, almost every line would pass through or terminate at Misato, excluding the Tozai Line and the Chuo Main Line. As the Chuo Main Line was built by HRT and not Misato City Railway (Now MRT), the Line was prohibited from cutting across the Yamate Line and the decision was made for it to terminate at Otaki, with some services continuing to Fukaaura.

Between these times, Misato Station would become classified as a Terminus Station, which refers to a station on the Yamate Line where there are terminating long-distance trains. It would retain this title until the 2021 revision, which attempted to stop Ome Line traffic at Mihara and replace the services with Vtuber Park Line trains. This was met with intense backlash however, and the process would not be completed by the time of the 2022 Lamtsu Railway Rebuild.

2022 Sora Train Wreck

The 2022 Sora Train wreck was the worst train accident in all of Sorano, with 78 fatalities and more than 600 injured. The train involved was a Ome Liner limited express on the stretch between Sora and Misato.

Preliminary investigations show that the train was travelling at 120km/h over a 60km/h stretch, and as such the train derailed and broke apart while approaching the bend towards Misato station.

The driver was most likely trying to make up for lost time that had occurred when he overran the platform at Mihara, causing the train to be delayed by 5 minutes, and then delayed again because he was slowed down by a Vtuber Park Line Local train also travelling to Misato. The extremely old and curvy tracks on the lines in Lamtsu had been a severe issue for quite a while, with a 2018 report highly recommending the rebuilding of the old lines. However, these warnings were ignored and the speed limits on the lines were in some parts, cranked up all the way to 160km/h on what should have been a 100km section at the maximum.

The accident triggered an investigation that found HRT (Lamtsu) guilty of negligence and filed an antitrust lawsuit, splitting the company into 3. This also caused the 2022 Great Lamtsu Railway Rebuild, a period of 8 months without train service where the railways were being rebuilt.

2022 Misato Station Rebuild

In the aftermath of the Sora Train Wreck, HRT Lamtsu had a revision of the railroad doctrine, and the decision was made to spread out the terminals of the lines along the Yamate Line rather than concentrating them all along Misato station. The Vtuber Park Line was moved to Kimotsuki (now Kata), and the Kansai Main Line was moved to MRT Misato station across the road. Tram operations also were moved to terminate at the new Misato Tram terminal. However, there is a tram stop opposite Misato Station for tram services that are continuing through the area.

Misato's old stone-brick design, while nostalgic, was not kept in the rebuild. Misato station was completely transformed from an overcrowded dinky station to a modern, futuristic station. The Engineer and Architect of the station was subsequently put in charge of the Lamtsu Railways. However, despite this amount of responsibility, he was still officially a minor employee and thus drew a very low salary, leading to accusations at HRT of Black Company behavior. This later led to a second lawsuit, and after which Harmony Rail Transit was forced to hand over the Sakuho Line to MRT. The Sakuho Line will cease operations at Misato Station within the next year, going directly to SMRT Misato and having the Kujukuri Line take over the area.

The reconstruction of Misato Station took place in a set of stages:

  1. Demolition of the old Misato Station and Misato Frieght Terminal
  2. Encasing the old Sakuho Line platforms in concrete before starting other works
  3. Constructing the foundation of the station
  4. Constructing the platforms and laying the ballast
  5. Constructing Misato Central Mall
  6. Constructing the cover over the station
  7. Connecting the platforms to the railroad
  8. Finishing Touches

The entire process took less than a year, due to the immense amounts of manpower invested to complete the station in record time. At least 25,000 construction workers were involved in the process.
