History
Operation handover
On March 2021, a new server is created to effectively disassociate the old Joestu Server due to governance issues.
As the CEO of Norslade Rail Road is also the founder of the old Joestu Server, he was not able to regain the power and permission he once had. With more chat log being discovered, they feels dissatisfied with the new server and due to various actions they later got banned from The District of Joban.
As no one is in charge of Fuka Lightrail anymore, the operation is temporarily handed over to KCR, and later taken over by Rigel Corporation.
With Rigel Corporation stating to improve frequency of its services and smoother interchange with the upcoming Metropolis Line in Drayton Station.
Alyburgh Branch
Proposal
In 2013, a proposal is made by Norslade Rail Road to open a new branch diverged from the main route of Fuka Lightrail.
This is quickly approved by the government, however the construction didn't begin until April 2019.
Unlike other route proposal, the majority of people doesn't know where this branch is heading towards, and the workers are only instructed to build Alyburgh branch.
The documents of the proposal is never found. Due to the close relationship between Norslade Rail Road and the Government, some speculates that a proper route proposal is never made, and allows Norslade Rail Road to build any potential routes that may benefit the company. This is however not confirmed as of September 2022.
Handover to Rigel Corporation
In February 2022, a new proposal is made to the Alyburgh branch as follows:
| Station Name | Station Code | Connections |
|---|---|---|
| 負荷 Fuka | FUK | Joestu Line, Tohoku Shinkansen |
| 阿利堡 Alyburgh | ALB | |
| 南海 Nankai | NAK | Joestu Line |
| 赫丘利 Hercules | HEC |
Quickly after, a proposal has been made to merge the Alyburgh branch and Central Light Rail 271 into a new route, this would later form the Joban Light Rail.
