When a line or station cannot be confirmed, it shows only the information it can verify. MAKE THE BOARD YOURS Arrange board components and adjust the station count, kana, clock, and more. The one-time Customization Pack adds extra themes, train icons, and accent and train body colors. Preview its designs before buying.
