- "And here we are. Not quite as grand as it used to be. Of course, there hasn't been a train since the Germs left."
- — Arthur Hastings, Act I
The Train Station is a massive building that became abandoned after The Very Bad Thing, when the children were sent away to Germany via the train. It can be found in the Garden District.
Over two and a half decades later, the building was left to rot and decay.
Events of We Happy Few[]
Act I[]
As Arthur enters Eel Pie Holm, he remembers what had happened to the three traitors that attempted to burn the registry, hallucinating them still hanging underneath the archway leading into Eel Pie Holm.
Sneaking around the back of the station, he overhears a group of Headboys attempting to blow open the doors to get food that Ollie Starkey has been hording. As Arthur manages to get inside the station, he falls through the loose wood floor paneling, waking up next to a dead Wastrel.
Arthur then begins to remember bits and pieces of the Authority, he berates himself for telling the constable that they got his birthday wrong, and taking Percy while leaving Arthur behind.
When Arthur reaches the tunnels meant to lead to Britannia Bridge and out of Wellington Wells, he discovers that the tunnels have been caved in. Three Headboys corner him. After this encounter, Arthur comes across Ollie, who makes a deal with him. If Arthur helps him burgle the Victory Memorial Camp, he'll help him get across the bridge.
Returning to the station after the robbery, Arthur accuses Ollie of knowing the tanks were made of papier mâché. During his angry rant, he remembers that he lied about his age to get off the train. As promised, Ollie gives Arthur a strange device, telling him to claim that he's a bridge inspector to the bobby at Salamanca Bridge so that he can get into Hamlyn Village.
Act II[]
Sally Boyle goes to the train station to get ten butterflies in order to create Pheromone, a necessary ingredient in Blackberry Joy, as advised by the Weird Sisters. Upon arriving she finds the building in a state of ruin (damaged from the explosives in Act III).
The station is now occupied by plague wastrels, having killed the Headboys.
After Sally collects all 10 butterflies, she exits the train station via the backdoor.
Act III[]
Taking place after Arthur leaves Ollie Starkey in Act I, he is suddenly attacked by the Headboys, using explosives stolen from the Home Guard. Ollie manages to defuse two bombs before grabbing his parachute from the burning wreckage.
He jumps off the roof, pulling his parachute open, witnessing the massive explosion in the station before landing right outside.

Trivia[]
- Old children's toys that were confiscated before trip can be found in a room
- Posters of German propaganda can be found hung up throughout the train station
- In Act II, a phonograph can be heard playing London Bridge Is Falling Down sung by Uncle Jack
- The Strange Device that Ollie gives Arthur to cross the bridge, is the same satellite magnetic device that Roger Bacon uses in the They Came From Below DLC, which took place two years prior the events of the main game
- Ollie decided to live in the Train Station some time after he had smashed a TV antennae in order to stop Uncle Jack from being broadcasted. While the date isn't specified, it's possible this took place somewhere between 1955 to 1961, as the Happy Face Masks were introduced in 1962, and Ollie does not recognize them
