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.

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 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.
