Experience, shortened to XP, is a feature in SCR given to players by completing certain actions in the game. This is displayed below the player's points at the top left of the screen. As Experience cannot be purchased, spent or lost, it is also a system to identify how much a player has actively played, although there is no direct conversion between experience and played time.

How to obtain

• Driving: 1 experience per station stopped at. Experience is only rewarded after completing a route.
  • Waterline route R010 is the best route for grinding as it gives the highest amount of experience per minute (0.82 per minute) for driving.^[1]
• Dispatching: 1 experience per train dispatched.
• Guarding: 1 experience each time the Guard dispatches the guarded train.
• Signalling: A varied amount of experience per minute when signalling, depending on the signal zone and how busy the signal zone is at the time.
  • Some players also use this method in a private server without any trains running, a method titled "AFK signalling" by the community.
