The MRT Union Line, or simply the Union Line, is one of the 21 lines of the New World MRT system.

History

The plan for Union Line in October 2019 by Frumple.

The first plans for what would use the "Union" name was Frumple's plan in October 2019. It would meet with MRT Western Line before going east to serve Deadbush, Totsworth, Marsius then it would go south to connect with Boston and FYI before terminating at Pearl Coast, and it was jokingly called "no u" line. It would use the old MRT Southern Line tracks left over from Gamma times. However, it did not happen due to Zeta happening.

In Frumple's MRT plans in April 2020, around 2 months after Zeta opened, a line proposed to go from Western Line to the NE Zeta corner in the northern Zeta region would have been called the MRT Union Line and would be colored dark purple, but this was not built. SimonScholar also proposed a Union routing from Savannah Line to the SE Gamma region going via Deadbush, Boston and Fort Yaxier and using one of the terminals left behind from Gamma MRT plans, similar to Frumple's Union Line plan in 2019 and this was put in May 2020 GSM's agenda. However, Frumple struck down the proposal, saying it "wasn't terribly necessary" and duplicates a lot other lines, and thus Simon had to pull it from the agenda before it was considered.

The final MRT Union Line routing was agreed to at the August 2022 GSM. It would now be a outer Zeta Circle line.

During the line's construction, the MRT Union Line became the first and only structure to be built in a mushroom island biome on the New World, with U34 being located there. U35 is the New World's second underwater MRT station, second to EN40 on the MRT Eastern Line.

On 9 January 2023, the MRT Union Line became the MRT line with the most stations, with it's 120th station being pasted. This record had previously been held by the MRT Circle Line with 119 stations since the opening of the New World.

Route

The MRT Union Line runs from U1 to U117. It starts at Sigil at the Union and Zephyr North interchange, then continues clockwise along the New World before terminating at Cape Cambridge.

In the new Zeta MRT plans presented in August 2022, the Union Line would be a line like Circle Line, but it goes around the Zeta perimeter. The first section between Zephyr North and Mountbatten was proposed by SimonScholar in the October 2022 GSM, with the final block and color being smooth basalt and dark gray. Subsequent sections were proposed at the November 2022 GSM and November 2022 ISM. Following project approvals moving from staff meetings to Discord, subsequent phases were approved on 13 December 2022, 05 January 2023, 19 February 2023 and 25 February 2023.
