Trivia[]
- The station's design resembles a very scaled down Reading station in real life. (Bodin has just 3 platforms.)
- A gold statue of Thehazad9 is located next to this station.
- If you climb on top of the statue, you'll get the badge "Mayor of Bodin".
- The plaque used to be outdated prior to V1.6, for it stated that Thehazad9 was the Chief Operations Officer (now called Operations Director). He was the Community Director (then called People Director) after this before resigning in October 2019. The old plaque could be found in the bushes near the tracks towards Stepford.
- This station was next to Bodin TrainCare. Bodin Depot was nearby, but it was demolished in The Big Update. Bodin TrainCare was removed in V1.7.
- This was the only station to have more than 2 platforms with no island platforms.
- This changed in V1.7.
- According to the sneak peek, the upgraded Bodin has one side platform and one island platform, with passing tracks of Express between the side platform and island platform. It also has an upgraded footbridge with the word “BODIN” on top of it.
- This station was one of three stations shown in the Stepford County Railway Intro because of the Class 755/3 (which is in a special 5 million visits livery) being displayed at Bodin TrainCare, replacing Stepford East in the Five Million Update.
- It was then replaced by Llyn-by-the-Sea in V1.4. The other two stations featured in the intro are Rocket Parade (BanTech's HQ) and Airport West (which was replaced by Northshore).
- Before SCR Version 1.7, this was one of only 4 stations with old Banner Repeaters, along with St Helens Bridge, Angel Pass and Morganstown. However, this station was not dispatchable before the aforementioned version.
- There were once CD/RA indicators here, however, very few people ever got the chance to use them before they were removed. CD/RA dispatching is a proposed feature on the roadmap, so they could be added back soon.
- This station was once a dispatchable station but when The Big Update was released, the ability to dispatch here was strangely removed. However, after Bodin was upgraded in V1.7, it became dispatchable again.
- This station has become infamous after Charlie_RBX's account was incorrectly terminated on the 24th June 2020, due to a Roblox moderator incorrectly flagging the new announcement for "Bodin" as an inappropriate word, and caused his account to be briefly terminated for a few hours due to an "inappropriate username".
Bodin scenery upgrade sneak peek
- In the bushes next to the statue, there was once a rusty sign which used to be on the statue, as Thehazad9 was the People Director (later renamed to Relations Director and Community Director) before he became Product Developer, which then made the sign incorrect.
- The sign was changed in V1.6 adding this extra “easter egg”, but as Thehazad9 has since became Relations Director (later renamed to Community Director) again, the sign became inaccurate.
- In V1.7, when the station got upgraded, the sign was again updated, however, he resigned down to PDV again, making the sign once again inaccurate.
- The sign can now be found laid next to the Stepford City bound tracks before the station.
- In V1.7, when the station got upgraded, the sign was again updated, however, he resigned down to PDV again, making the sign once again inaccurate.
- The sign was changed in V1.6 adding this extra “easter egg”, but as Thehazad9 has since became Relations Director (later renamed to Community Director) again, the sign became inaccurate.
- In V1.8, the train announcements for "Bodin" changed and is slightly different to the V1.7 version. This also happened with Water Newton.
- The main difference in the current version is that the 'O' is said with a higher pitch.
- In 2020, Bodin was awarded "Capital of Culture" by the fictional committee of the same name. After fraudulently claiming the status was extended to 2022, Bodin was disqualified for the status in 2021 and banned from consideration in 2022. This was shown in advertisements around the SCR Network.
