The '''WolvHaven Metro Line 1''' is a [[WolvHaven Metro (4th Haven)|WolvHaven Metro]] line that runs in a North-South orientation serving the boroughs of Wolfminster and Mechanicsburg. Originally Built to serve Central WolvHaven, the line initially had 4 stations (Palais De Royal - Nation), but has since been expanded to reach multiple core districts. 


The '''WolvHaven Metro Line 1''' is a [[WolvHaven Metro (4th Haven)|WolvHaven Metro]] line that runs from southern WolvHaven, ending in northern WolvHaven, on Mechanicsburg island. Built to serve Central WolvHaven, the line originally had 4 stations '''(Palais De Royal - Nation)''', but has since been expanded to reach multiple core districts.  Metro Line 1's route follows a straight line along the historic district, then makes a turn as it enters the Central Business District, passing by Admiralty, and La Resistance, until it reaches the main industrial district, accessible by it's northern terminus, Mechanicsburg Interchange. Before being converted into Semi-Automatic Operation, 24 trains used to operate along the line with a 2.5 minute headway between each train.  
Metro Line 1's route follows a straight line along 4th Avenue in the historic district, then makes a turn east as it enters the Central Business District following 2nd Avenue, passing by Admiralty, and La Resistance, until it reaches the main industrial district in Mechanicsburg, accessible by it's northern terminus, Mechanicsburg Interchange. Before being converted into Semi-Automatic Operation, 24 trains used to operate along the line with a 2.5 minute headway between each train.  


Officially known as the '''City Line''', Metro Line 1 takes a strikingly bold and vibrant shade of yellow on the official WolvHaven Metro Map, making it easy to be distinguished and identified.

As the name implies, Metro Line 1 was the first ever WolvHaven Metro line to be created in the previous WolvHaven world. It runs completely underground, starting off at [[Palais De Royal Metro Station|Palais De Royal]] located at the southernmost part of Wolfminster, and ending at [[Mechanicsburg Metro Station|Mechanicsburg Station]] located in Mechanicsburg island. Travelling from one end of the line to the other takes about half an hour.

=== First phase of development ===


Metro Line 1 was the first Metro Line to be built in WolvHaven, with the first section from Palais De Royal to Republic opening in 2014. [4] The line was extended northward to Nation later that year. With trains running smoothly from Palais De Royal to Nation, the line was officially opened to the public, once construction began on the [[Metro Line 2 (4th Haven)|Metro Line 2]].

=== La Resistance Station ===
 
Released to the public separately from the extension to Financial Centre, La Resistance's unveiling to the public was delayed a week, due to concerns that the station was "structurally unsound". With tests done on the station and chalking up positive results, La Resistance was inevitably opened, with commuters loving the Paris Metro inspired station.

Line 72: Line 69:
With the release of the most recent WolvHaven Metro map on the 27th of September 2016, a rough idea of the Metro Line 1 extension was included, leaving commuters speculation on what the actual route M1 would take. With Lorem Ipsum Corporation ( then Temasaac Holdings ), FTrans, and the Department of Transportation's joint press release on 10 October 2017, it was stated that Metro Line 1 would have a total of 2 brand new stations, that being Highgate and Mechanicsburg stations. On April 12 2018, the extension was fully opened to the public.

=== Nation Station ===
This extension came rather late as SilverWolv originally intended for line 1 to exclusively serve the borough of Wolfminster only.
 
=== Abandonment of Nation Station ===


With the extension of the Metro Line 1 to Financial Centre, a brand new station, Renaissance, was opened to the public. With the creation of Renaissance station was praised by the public, for its grand interior, its convenience, and for it being easy to navigate. However, Renaissance station was also extremely close to another station, the previous northern terminus for Metro Line 1,Nation. With the extreme closeness of these two stations, trains needing to stop at both of them meant travellers had to spend an extra two minutes in commute. With the extreme convenience of Renaissance station, with its prime location and connection to Metro Line 3, it was decided that Nation station was instead to be disused, and abandoned. 4 years later after its abandonment in 2014, Nation station was decided to be repurposed into a railway museum and cafe.

Metro Line 1 was the first to come under the FASTRACK programme. This included a brand new control centre and track diagram which shows the location of each train, displaying the countdown it takes for the train to arrive at a station with the train's code on signs along the diagram. This allowed line managers to easily check if there is any train breakdown which leads to a more reliable service. FASTRACK also included a brand new method of operations whereby a train is replaced each time it completes one trip on the line leading to an increase of service availability and reliability from 50% back to 90%.

===Platform Screen Doors===
Metro Line 1 was the first line to have installed Platform Screen Doors, after numerous cases of commuters falling off the platform and in some cases, death. This Prompted TransHaven to Retrofit Platform Screen Doors and Automatic Platform Gates in the WolvHaven Metro. The first sets of Platform Screen Doors were retrofitted in City Hall Station, in 1995 and by 1998 was retrofitted in all of Line 1.


===City Hall Realignment and Revamp===
===City Hall Realignment and Revamp===
In 2016, the Northbound Line 1 Platform was rebuilt by GukkyGukz and relocated below the Southbound Line 1 Platform due to multiple complaints filed against TransHaven on how the platform was too inconvenient and inaccessible. The previous alignment was another flight was needed to reach the platform. The new platform featured the new Platform Screen Doors with the Gray Panels and the Line's Route Map. Because of this realignment, the station is fully step-free when a lift entrance and exit was built by autobus22. The Platform Screen doors in City Hall were all refurbished except for the Southbound Line 1 Platform and the Line 4 Platform.

Before the land reclaim project that the current WolvHaven International Airport sits on, there was a plan for there to be a fourth island, located below Wolfminster and Westford, parallel to Mechanicsburg. This has since been abandoned. However, before this project was abandoned, there were plans to extend the Metro Line 1 beyond Palais De Royal, towards the south west, terminating just below Westford island.
