Highgate Line

The Highgate Line SkyTrain, alternatively known as Highgate Line is one of two SkyTrain lines owned by Antherstone Regional Transit and operated by Antherstone Rapid Transit Company. It was fully opened on 8th of August, 2021 as part of Antherstone's reopening plan one year after the Security Incident.

About Highgate Line
The Highgate Line promises a newer fleet and a way of operating. With 3 planned Demo Stations and a scenic ride across the Arsville City: Highgate Line is ART 's most ambitious project as the station design will follow the DEMO STATIONS of the once Arsville Line with very-detailed destination signs as well as navigational signs at the entrance and platform of stations.

The Highgate Line currently promises service to the downtown core of Central Arsville providing connection from the Central Park & Ride to Lonsdale Place further north of Central Arsville.

The line is expected to be extended further into Central Arsville and into North Arsville where construction is taking place to have South Arsville, North Arsville and Central Arsville together in one map.

Phase 1:
After the completion of the 3 Demo Stations, of which as slated to be completed by late 2020 to early 2021 will come in the next phase of the project that is known as the Central Extension which would add the following stations: The stations are expected to follow the same design on the Demo Stations of which also follow the original Arsville Demonstration Line Station Design.
 * Consitutional Road (Side Station & Constitution Line Connection)
 * Maryview-ARH (Center Station & Connection to Arsville Reg. Hospital)
 * Perseverance Road (Center Station)
 * Langsdale (Side Station & Phase 1 Terminus)

Phase 2:
Upon completing the Phase 1 Construction, the Phase 2 Extension will include 3 additional stations now officially providing service to the most Northern part of Central Arsville.

The Phase 2 Extension is known as the Central North Extension and would add the following stations:
 * Fort Peterson (Center Station)
 * Coderway Avenue (Side Station)
 * Kingston-45th (Mixed & Terminus Station for Kingston Branch)

Phase 3:
The Phase 3 of the project is focused and aimed at providing service to the south-eastern part of Central Arsville and slightly to the South Arsville Region.

The Phase 3 extension would see a new branch terminus created thus adding another 4 stations to the line as well as a SkyBridge exclusively for trains to run on at all times.

The Extension is known as the Central South Extension and would add the following stations:
 * Arsville International Airport (Center Station & connection to YVQ Airport)
 * Cameron Way (Side Station)
 * Hawthorne Way (Center Station)
 * Carvolth Exchange (Center Station & Terminus Station for Carvolth Branch)

Fleet & Operations
While Antherstone Regional Transit was not very open or specific about how operations on the Highgate Line would be, theories suggest that the Highgate Line will be semi-automatic with a mixed on Manual & Automation Operation as part of ART's Advancement plan.

Antherstone Regional Transit wasn't open or specific either about their proposed fleet, but parent company NetworkTransit confirmed that the trains would be the trains manufactured by Bombardier Transportation Incorporation based in Canada.

List of Stations
Antherstone Regional Transit along with their government body, City of Antherstone and parent-company NetworkTransit had all agreed to a 20 Station Line of which 3 would be part of the Demonstration Line which is slated to be completed later this year to early 2021.

ART expects stations to have similar design to the Arsville Line Demostnration Systems with clear communication technology such as next-train arrival as well as clear wayfinders in stations.

All Demonstration Stations are Side Stations; the plan is for Phase 1 Stations to be mixed and for the Phase 2 stations to have multiple door opening platforms. 

ART has yet to confirm the rest of the stations, but they have made it public to what they will be naming their Demonstration Stations.
 * Terminal Bay (Side Station & Terminus)
 * Collier Street (Side Station)
 * Weschester Road (Side Station & DEMO Terminus)

Antherstone Regional will use the Arsville Demo Design for their stations with a clear communications system as well as next-train arrival system.

Logistics
The logistics behind this project is non other than architect shining_forever (Jacob N. as known on their website) who's designed and planned the Highgate Line.

Construction
Jacob has selected NewLogistics Corporation to assists with building the line which will incorporate the Arsville Demo Station Designs.
