Trivia

The station is based on Newark Northgate station in Nottinghamshire, England.
- Previously, it was based on Fareham station in Hampshire, England.
This station and Leighton City serve the most amount of Stepford Connect routes on the network as of V2.3, at 21.
25 routes serve this station, making it the 7th largest station on the network by route count.
This station, along with Rayleigh Bay, Westercoast, and Hampton Hargate, are the only stations served by Stepford Express that are managed by Stepford Connect.
Some longer-standing members of the community affectionately call the barn outside of Edgemead, towards Leighton City "Mugmead" after former SSG Muggenzifter.
The station name Edgemead is a compound word of "edge" and "mead" (meaning a meadow), likely referring to its location away from Leighton and how it is located in a more countrysided area. Edgemead was also the terminus of the Stepford Main Line from Version 1.1 to Version 1.3, with the station being at the eastern edge of the map.
- However, due to "mead" also meaning a type of alcohol, the name is sometimes censored in the in-game chat, leading to players calling the station joke names like "Edgemeat" or "Eggmeat".
This station, along with Leighton Stepford Road, Leighton City, and Leighton West, are 4 consecutive terminating stations with no through stations in between.
The old Platform 1 used to be rarely used after V1.4 as most players drove beyond Edgemead towards Llyn-by-the-Sea, and it could only be used by R004 and R009 which terminate at Edgemead.
This is one of the two stations where trains from both directions can terminate at the same platform, the other being Leighton City.
This station is the third station to use the turnaround mid-route functionality, after Airport Terminal 2 and 3.
At the north of Edgemead, a rusty post for the banner repeaters of signal S383 and S385 can be seen which held the banner repeaters for the signals before Platform 1 and 2.
