Trivia
- R005 has a reputation for being the game's "noob route", as the route has been free since Version 1.1, and was the only free route until R009 became a free route in Version 1.7.2.. It currently shares this distinction with the other two free routes,
R023 (Stepford Victoria <> Stepford UFC) and R045 (Stepford Victoria <> Leighton City), with these routes being mostly driven by new players.
- This route is seen as 'better' for new players as it has a higher points per minute (PPM) ratio than R045.
- This route also has priority over trains from the aforementioned route, as this route utilises a 1 headcode, while R045 utilises a 2 headcode. However, priorities only apply when there is a Dispatcher or Signaller on duty.
- As of Version 2.3, this is the only Stepford Connect route to stop at Financial Quarter.
