====== Froastpoarte Station ====== **Froastpoarte** is a bi-level overground station with 4 platforms, serving Lilac Light Rail lines 633 and 633P, as well as Moszyan Railways' overground service system. It was rebuilt to look like **Lansingerland-Zoetermeer** station, but with the light and heavy rail platforms swapped. Prior to its reconstruction, it was a generic Lilac Light Rail station by the name of **Shuangmen Xuegui** using the "Taipa & South Corridor" station design. | @#B0B0BE: || | **Froastpoarte**\\ 霜門雪桂 || | @#B0B0BE: || | {{mtr_letsplay:froastepoarte.png?400}} || | @#B0B0BE:**District** | @#B0B0BE:**Station Code** | | Taipa | FRP | | @#B0B0BE:**Opening Date** | @#B0B0BE:**Reopening Date** | | May 4th, 2023 | January 4th, 2024 | | @#B0B0BE:**Owned by** | @#B0B0BE:**Served by** | | Moszyan Transport | Moszyan Railways\\ Lilac Right Rail | | @#B0B0BE:**Platforms** | @#B0B0BE:**Tracks** | | 4 | 4 | ===== Layout ===== The station has 4 platforms, two north-south through tracks for the Lilac Light Rail on the lower level, and two eastbound terminus platforms for Moszyan Railways on the upper level. Unlike the rest of the [[mtr_letsplay:fryskeline|Fryske Line]], these upper platforms have grass for a ballast, referencing the real life station's upper platforms originally being light rail platforms. The relatively short length of the platforms also makes it impossible for longer //Intercity// trains to access the station, limiting service to mostly //Sprinter// trains. ===== Trivia ===== * Despite the rename to **Froastpoarte**, the original Chinese name **Shuangmen Xuegui** remains the CJK notation for the station. * The name **Shuangmen Xuegui** is a pun on having the same pronunciation as the term for a double-door refridgerator, and the name **Froastpoarte** was chosen to retain at least the spirit of the pun, translating the first two characters to Frisian. * This station was the first station on the server to have both Dutch //and// Japanese stop markers installed on the platforms.
