 This type of terminus station started appearing in [[PublicServer:Archive_-_Games_191_-_200#gameid_200|Public Server Game 200]].  With the clever use of PBS, this style of terminus station has near or equal efficiency of a RoRo station.  One disadvantage of this style is need for a flat area for the size of the platforms.  For mountainous map or area, standard terminus or RoRo station may be of better fit.

	Our networks usually have a single drop station for every cargo type or even one for multiple cargo types combined. With thousand or more trains running you can figure these stations have to be efficient and high capacity. Over the years we developed many types of main stations, each suitable for another purpose. First we'll look into the function of main stations and the standards they should meet for different purposes, then we will look into some common designs more deeply.

 ==Terminus with dedicated entries & exits==
-This station design, originally invented by [[User:Osai|Osai]] combines the best of both terminus and RoRo stations. It has the high capacity typical for a RoRo and the small footprint that comes with terminus. However, as you might have expected, this design is complex and hard to build.
+This station design, originally invented by {{User|Osai}} combines the best of both terminus and RoRo stations. It has the high capacity typical for a RoRo and the small footprint that comes with terminus. However, as you might have expected, this design is complex and hard to build.
 The main idea behind this is to have an entry and an exit track dedicated to a single platform, rather than sharing one with others like normal termini do. Below you can see a two-platform station using this design.

 ==Pre-signal bypass station==
-This is an entry-style that bypasses the gaps pre-signalling can cause, especially on bigger drop stations with short, fast trains. The [[Presignal_Bypass_Station|article dedicated to PBS]] (not to be confused with Path-Based Signalling) provides more in-depth information about this style.

+You'll probably know this station style; it's one of the most basic in OpenTTD. It consists of a number of platforms connected to a construction that serves as both entry and exit. Below you can see an example of this basic terminus.
