Ryland

Ryland
Ryland is a large town in North Hurshing. It is one of the three commuter towns (Ryland, Rawdon, Camberchester) of Drum & Colby outside the city county area.

Ryland lies about 10 kilometres from Drum, and 8 kilometres from Stoneham.

Ryland is a town that dates back to the 1940s, and its main area is dominated by the River Linxe which flows through the town.

Ryland is also one of Highland's worst towns for poverty. In 2017, 7.3% of Ryland's residents claimed they were in poverty. This is more than double the national average of 2.6% in poverty.

Ryland has two leisure centres and a community park where events such as fairs, fireworks and other projects take place.

Highland's government complained to multiple large businesses in 2010 for 'rejecting' the once-lively town of Ryland. As of 2018, Ryland only has one Burger King restaurant, multiple small newsagent shops, and two cafés. For many years the community has been rallying for better shops. Ryland also was voted for having the worst high street of any large town. (Large towns have 30,000+ residents).

Ryland has a four platform station. Platforms 1 and 2 are usually for fast services between Drum and Tinchester South, while platforms 3 and 4 are for services from Drum or Colby towards Ashton or Shoresome. In rush hour, services from Colby run as far as Tinchester South.

Platforms 1 and 2 are served by trains every 30 minutes.

Platforms 3 and 4 are served by two trains from Drum, and two from Colby, per hour.
