Venceslo Union Station, formerly known as Midtown Station and Midtown Multimodal Transit Center (MMTC), is an intermodal transit center and mixed-use development serving the city of Venceslo, Time Zones. It is the main warp rail and warp bus station for Venceslo. It's current iteration opened on May 10, 2023, in a near complete redevelopment of the original transit center on the site.

The main warp rail tracks are served by IntraRail, BluRail, Fred Rail, and Great Central. The bus station is served by Seabeast Buses, BaseBus, RedLine Buses, ViaBus, DLink Buses, Dachshund Bus Lines, Neptune Buses, Prime Bus, and LeafTransit. In addition, the station is also connected to the nearby RedTrain and vMet Midtown/Union stations by tunnel.

History

Between November and December 2017, the original Venceslo Warptrain Terminal (under what became UAV) was abandoned in favor of a new eight platform open-cut warptrain station located north of University Boulevard and straddling Morton Hill Road. This terminal was named Midtown Station.

On August 17, 2019, VenDAG announced via the Venceslo Direct that Midtown Station would rebrand as Midtown Multimodal Transit Center, and the street level above the warptrain platforms would be redeveloped in thirds: a mixed-use tower to the west (which would become Midtown CityCenter), a consolidated bus terminal in the center, and "a future Venceslo-based Minecart Express Rail Company" to the east, named CrossCart. Although the bus terminal and tower were completed in September 2019, CrossCart never panned out, and its intents were eventually folded into RedTrain, which opted for a different Venceslo terminus site.

As Venceslo further urbanized Post-COVID, it became clear that the bus platforms and the empty shell where CrossCart was to have been was taking up valuable street frontage on University Boulevard. Therefore, on April 27, 2023, it was announced that Midtown Multimodal Transit Center would be once again redeveloped. The warptrain platforms were widened, allowing for elevator access to all rail platforms for the first time. Doing this while maintaining the station's original size meant the amount of platforms dropped from 8 to 6, although this did not affect any service, as the STC trains had been moved to the adjacent VMet station by this point, and the GreatCentral trains only needed one track. The street-level bus terminal was razed, redesigned and rebuilt underground in between the warptrains and the street level, with a seamless transfer between all three levels attainable for the first time. In the new vacated street level, third party franchises were allocated along University Boulevard, and the rest of the space above and to the north was set aside for mixed-use commercial and residential development. One of these spaces to the north was used to build the 17-story Union Park Building, opened on July 8, 2023.
