Description
San apparently means Saint in some language. Corbo means Raven in another. Is that relevant to the level? No. Is "Raven-Saint" a concept I'm stealing for a character in a future story I write? Absolutely. Did I get this from a name generator? 100%.

Loosely based on Tachikawa (立川) station and the surrounding area in Western Tokyo.

I often see maps which base themselves on real locations and get repetitive. Fast. People often stick too strictly to the real deal's routes and timetables, and while that's fun for a short amount of time, these maps then add layer upon layer upon layer of the same schedules, and they just... last too long. Plus, a lot of their trackwork potential goes fairly unused because of the repetitive scheduling.
So for this map, I decided to take a real place and try to make a jam-packed schedule with some clear repetition... but also enough screwballs to keep things interesting.

Then I made half the map fairly unique trains for some reason.

Anyways, here are some tips:
Even though the map's schedule works with five-second intervals, all trains entering the map will only do so on the minute.
Auto-Accept is your friend... perpetual queues aren't. If there's more than one possible route, all of them WILL be used.
Every station with an odd number of platforms has a train reverse in it at least once.
Some routes into San Corbo can only access a limited amount of platforms. Choose your routes wisely.

Really good map. One of my favourites. Challenging, satisfying, and felt great to get a perfect score my second try. Thanks!

Good map. Like a smaller South Honk without braking penalties. If anything, it's impressive so many trains got squished in to the timetable. Couple of spots you need to make a quick decision to get 100%

Ich mag die Map :steamthumbsup:. Abwechslungsreich nicht dauernd die gleichen sich wiederholenden Routen, übersichtlich und gut zu managen, obwohl einiges los ist.
