The 1 is a BluRail warp train line that runs from The Southeast Corner in the southeast to Erzgard International Airport in the north. It is accompanied by the 1X for most of its route.
History
The 1 was BluRail's first planned line. It was originally planned to run from Tranquil Forest to Vegeta, stopping at just 11 stations. Kenthurst was added as a planned stop on February 15, 2017. On February 16, 2017, an alternate route was added as a possible alignment, stopping at City of Evella and Xandar instead of Kenthurst. These plans were adopted the next day, and a shuttle from City of Evella to Kenthurst would operate instead. Plans to operate past Vegeta to the town of Silver Mountain were made on February 17. On February 23, plans for an alternate route that would have served Hathnes instead of Haibian were made. On March 3, these plans were canceled due to a dispute with the towns' mayors. On April 1, the 1X was created as an alternative to the 1, making limited stops at 6 stations. A planned stop at Glenbrook on the 1 was added the next day.
The first section of the 1 officially opened on April 18, with a train running between Storalisburg and Spring Valley. On May 2, another part of the line opened between Utopia and Glenbrook. There was no service between Glenbrook and Storalisburg at this time. Later in the month, the planned eastern terminus was moved from Tranquil Forest to Riseau.
In June 2023, the 1 had its stops at Kanto International Airport Terminal 2, South Kanto, and Central Kanto removed. A new line, the KS was planned to replace service to these stations, running from Kanto International Airport Terminal 2 to Kanto Airfield.
In November 2023, the 1 moved its stop from Matheson South station to Matheson West, a BluRail owned station that was more modern and included better interchanges to IntraRail. Matheson South remained served on the 4. Planned service to a large transfer station in Skogheim was scrapped on January 7, 2024.
On March 11, 2024, the 1 was extended east to The Southeast Corner and west to Erzgard International Airport, completing the full planned line.
