NextTrain is a warp train company spanning the New World. It is owned by NextCorp Inc (officially a crown corporation of the Government of Pixl, operating partly as a unit of Transport Pixl). NextTrain stops are branded as NEXT Stations.
Overview
NextTrain operates express warp trains within the Estify Region and other cities on the MRT. While the original Pixl Rail warp lines had a focus on transit to and from Pixl, NextTrain has a much broader reach, designed to connect cities on the MRT with each other. Operating on tracks built and owned by PN Railways, NextTrain's long term mandate is to provide fast regional express rail service to Pixl Hub from surrounding municipalities.
NextTrain service planning and integration within the Estify Region is facilitated by Transport Pixl and EstiNet.
Supplementary Services
NextCorp operates NextPlane and NextBoat services to augment the NextTrain network, either supplementing existing service areas, or connections to areas that may not be able to receive NextTrain service.
Uwudon is a noodle franchise owned by NextCorp, originally purchased to serve NextTrain stations, uwudon gained more independence within NextCorp and began opening locations across the MRT.
History
NextTrain was originally spun off the warp aspect/express lines of Pixl Rail. Due to various factors, Pixl Rail never ended up getting a warp train line. However, Transport Pixl's vision of a unified and fast transit service connecting the world to Pixl was not lost. In 2018, the Government of Pixl decided to create a new entity, NextCorp, to allow the independent development of a warp rail network. With the help of NextCorp, NextTrain was created, and much of the work done for Pixl Rail was transferred to NextTrain. On September 16 2018, Transport Pixl purchased it's first rolling stock from AutoDesignZ (The E7-110 Engine, CA7-S Carriages, and CA7-Sk Cab Car).
By late 2022, PN Railways begun work building rail corridors between Pixl Bay (Pixl Airport), Pixl Hub, and Xandar-Vekta. On April 22, 2023, service began on the NextTrain's Bay and Corridor lines, serving 3 stops in Pixl, one stop in Xandar, and one stop in Vekta.
