History

Trivia

• The station platforms are based on Five Ways station in Birmingham, while the station entrance is based off West Ealing station in West London.
• Across from this station is BanTech Systems HQ. BanTech Systems used to work in association with Charlie_RBX, the former Managing Director, to develop Stepford County Railway as an Innovations Director.
• Prior to V1.1, this station was the only limited-service station on the network.
• This station is indirectly named after BanTech, the "Rocket" in Rocket Parade refers to the fact that BanTech studied rocket science at university, and "Parade" is a common suffix.
• This station was the only one to remain in every iteration of the intro to the game. As the BanTech Systems Headquarters is outside this station, and SCR is a collaboration with BanTech Systems.
  • However following BanTech's resignation as Innovations Director, Rocket Parade has since been removed from V2.0 onwards.
• Before V1.8, players could walk from here to Leighton Stepford Road.
  • Players can still walk from here to Leighton Depot but the road cuts off right before reaching Leighton Stepford Road. The only way to get towards Leighton Stepford Road is by jumping over a fence.
• Strangely, there are no platform number signs at this station.
• This station has a lift to both platforms, but only Platform 2 has a direct lift from the concourse, while Platform 1 has a separate lift. Both lifts are connected with a footbridge on the mezzanine floor.
• Before the Leighton Zone replaced Winstree, it was located right where BanTech Systems HQ currently is, near this station.
• In a Directors Q&A on 23 October 2021, Managing Director Charlie_RBX has stated that more services will be scheduled to stop here in V1.8. Eventually, R009 and R024 started calling here in V1.8, and this station is no longer considered as limited-service station.
  • Even though it is no longer a limited-service station, there are still a few Stepford Connect routes that skip it, such as R004 and R035.
• There is a big commercial building near Rocket Parade called RLSJ's Tuition Centre, however the building was not present in the sneak peek of the station's overhaul.
