Description

Heddington Walk Railway Station is a small, but modern, train station located in the suburb of Dulston. Once a bustling commuter paradise the platforms are now silent, the citizens all gone, and the faint moans of zombies can be heard in the distance.

The original station was opened on May 15, 1976 by Malton Rail, who held the contract for all of Malton's railroad stations before the "Malton Incident". The present station was opened in 1991 and served as one the three hub railway stations where the East-West Line and North-South Line meet. The original station was torn down in 1989 when it became apparent that it would not be large enough to accommodate all of the public transportation shoppers who visited Treweeke Mall. While the station itself is unmanned, it still retained its original waiting shelters for patrons. Automated ticket machines along the platform were used by travelers to purchase their train tickets.

This empty railroad station was once a part of the city's now extinct Malton Rail system.

Travelers though had limited options as to which station they wished to travel, as they could only ride in two directions. Those who wished to head west towards Rhodenbank would have to have taken the East-West Line train towards Gibb Plaza Railway Station. While those who wanted to head south into Pescodside took the North-South Line train to Muirhead Avenue Railway Station.

Barricade Policy

This building must never be more than Very Strongly (VS+2) barricaded. This barricade level has been set forth in the Dulston Optimal Defense Diagram, a strategic barricade policy that is enforced by all member groups of the Dulston Alliance. These days Heddington Walk Railway Station serves a tactical role in Dulston as one of the few monitored "entry point" buildings for Treweeke Mall just to the south. As such, survivors are reminded to maintain the station's barricades at Very Strongly (VS+2), but never higher than that. In this way survivors with Free Running can exit the mall and still return through the train station, as the mall is almost always Extremely Heavily barricaded.

Current Events

December 15th, 2008 - Officer Murphy of Dead vs Blue reported in from the railway station giving the all-clear. The building was secure and barricaded. The building was further designated a launch point for any operations into Treweeke Mall. At this time zombies have been reported attacking the mall's barricades.

November 8th, 2008 - Kittithaj, a freelance Dulston Alliance operative, reported that Heddington Walk Railway Station had fallen to the horde.

October 12th, 2008 - Cpt Garviel Loken, Lord General Militant of the Imperium, reported that his forces were on the move, but he himself had personally reclaimed the railway station. The building was repaired and so far Heavily barricaded.

September 14th, 2008 - The Electric Light Torchestra recon reported that the building was in ruins. At this time there were 3 zombies inside the building, but no zombies were outside.

April 1st, 2008 - Building in ruins and under Zombie control. Absolute domination as the zombies killed tens of people hiding inside while the ones who could fled for their own safety. Unless something big happens in Dulston, seems like the whole Treweeke Mall area is Zed turf now. --Geoffrey Thames 03:40, 1 April 2008 (BST)

March 30th, 2008 - Once again, valiant survivors have taken action and the last of the zombies are being finished off and their bodies dumped onto the street. Likely a cycle set to repeat for awhile. --Geoffrey Thames 00:36, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

March 29th, 2008 - Currently last barricades down. Doors keep opening and more and more zombies are creeping in. 10+ at last count and currently dragging out the survivors. It isn't looking good and we could use some support. --Geoffrey Thames 23:59, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Update: Almost always VSB +2 and a good spot to stop for shelter. Very well defended, but occasionally barricades ripped down and had to be rebuilt. Sparingly at EHB, but taken down to VSB +2 within minutes. Lots of Zed activity around so it serves as a fair Safehaven in Dulston. --Geoffrey Thames 20:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

December 25th, 2007 - Currently overbarricaded. I was stuck outside with enough AP to get to St. Anacletus's Hospital, only to find it overbarricaded as well! Now I'm dead: Not the best christmas present I could have hoped for. I know there's been a bit of an uprising lately, but there's no excuse for this. --Dr Ernesto Guevara 20:11, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

September 24th, 2007 - Come on now! This place is overbarricaded! Now I'm stuck outside with zero AP. --Vortexx 12:47, 24 September 2007 (BST)

August 8th, 2006 - Survivors passing through the area have discovered that Heddington Walk Railway Station has become over-barricaded. Much to their general dismay, many have pointed out that this goes against the Dulston defense plans as it only serves to make entry into the mall more difficult.

July 29th, 2006 - The SPIDERMAN survivor group decided to settle down at Heddington Walk Railway Station since the barricading plan was superb in comparison to the Gouger Arms.
