A-Train (Avalor)

The A-train (Spanish: tren-A; Swedish: A-tåg), known locally sometimes as commuter rail (Spanish: tren de cercanías; Swedish: pendeltåg); is a type of hybrid urban-suburban rail serving a metropolitan region within Avalor. 'A' train systems typically have between one and 15 lines. A commuter rail system within Avalor that has between 16 and 30 lines is called an 'A2-train', while a commuter rail system within Avalor that has more than 30 lines is called an 'A3-train'.

Line numbers and lettered patterns
Trains display the line number within the system, the stopping pattern within the line and the destination. For example, a train to Ciama Norte (Spanish)/Norra Käm (Swedish) in Avalor City on line 4, stopping pattern B will display "4B Ciama Norte"/"4B Norra Käm" (in sequence).

Line numbers were first used in Avalor City in 1965. From 1965 to 1995, trains only displayed the line number and the destination, with special cards for stations that the train will stop. For example, trains running to Sórejon (Spanish)/Nårlu (Swedish) on line 1 of Avalor City A-Train displayed “1 Sórejon (Line break) Nårlu”. From 1995, trains displayed the lettered pattern, which is placed after the line number, “1A Sórejon (Line break) Nårlu”.

"Purim services"
"Purim services" are the types of trains in the A-train system that only run during Purim. Trains running on "Purim services" are normally confined to Jews in Avalor going from their Jewish Avalorian suburb to an Avalorian city (a city centre), however non-Jews may take these trains as well.

Until 1976, Trains running on "Purim services" were restricted to Jewish people going to the Purim festival in an Avalorian city centre, with a two special signs displaying "Non-Jews do not board" or "No non-Jews are allowed inside the train" and "Purim service" or "Restricted use train", depending on the system.
