Brambleford

Brambleford is a Fifth-Generation city located in the western region of Farsk. Its area of the county is named after the city. It is the second least populated city in Highland, after Hollywood, which is also the nearest city to the Drum & Colby border.

Brambleford lies close to the border between Farsk and Ashire. It is slightly further away from Drum than Hurshing is, and has close ties to many nearby large areas, such as Rawdon, Sedgway and Kindon. As of March 2018, Brambleford is the newest city in Highland. It was formally given city-status in December 2017, with the final phase of the station completed in January 2018.

Despite being the only city in Farsk, it is not actually the most populated settlement; that goes to Rawdon, which according to the 2018 census, had a population of 60,880 - over double that of Brambleford. A main factor of the population difference is that Rawdon is considerably closer to the capital, Drum, than Brambleford is.

Brambleford has just two suburbs, due to its small population and metropolitan area; Palmerston and Chaucer. Rivermead is often considered a suburb of Brambleford, however it is officially part of the main area of the city.

Railway Station
Brambleford's main station has just two platforms, but since the mainline between Medding and Brambleford isn't completed yet, this isn't a problem for residents. There are currently plans to build a second station at Brambleford to serve future trains from the Medding area, however, railway teams all over the country have agreed that it wouldn't be necessary as long as good signalling strategies are adopted.

Not all the lines at Brambleford are complete; the Bloomingdale Lake line (The main line from Medding to Staggington via Brambleford & Ashway) has still not been constructed. A report in May 2013 found that some of the land in the West Chislebury area, about three miles north of Medding, was "too damp" for a railway line. A revisiting of the area in late 2016 found that while conditions were still unfit for a railway line, there were "plans and measures in place", according to the CFO of Torella, the company responsible for most of the south-west's railway infrastructure.

Currently, there are however some lines fully operating. While there are currently no direct services to Medding, there are occasionally special services. As of February 2018, the main Brambleford station has;

1tph(train per hour) to Drum via Dexton

2tph to Hurshing via Fivetrees, Kindon and Sedgway (of which 1 is fast)

1tph to Staggington, calling at all stations (usually stands at Ashway for 15 minutes)

2tph to Staggington, calling at Ashway, Ferrydale and (in peak hours) Southbury.

1tph to Westhampton, calling at Kindon, Sedgway, Hurshing and Westhampton.

There is another line from Sedgway to Brambleford, however, it has not been finished.
