	Later, stations would be fitted with hot-air-balloons or other access portals to allow connection to the [[Nether Transport Network]] system. As the world progressed, experimentation with stations became more popular. Notably, stations like ''[[Dressrosa Station\|Dressrosa]]'' featured custom platform designs more fitting of the base it served. In future worlds, designing unique stations for each stop along the network became preferred among SRN builders as players preferred variety; one critique of the standardization of railway stations is that it became monotonous to travel the network after a certain point.

	All hot-air balloons built on Survival 1 featured the same standard design, but each balloon used a different color. The color of the balloon corresponded to the color coding of each SRN station's "Nether" station on the NTN. On the network map, stations with hot air balloons were denoted with a small symbol.

	The design of the server's hot air balloons attracted praise from many community members as a novel solution to the problems with ugly elytra towers (that led to an implementation of a rule banning them within spawn) as well as helping resolve portal synchronization problems; the NTN on Survival 1 was positioned just below the bedrock of The Nether ceiling, making linking portals with stations at lower altitudes challenging if there were nearby bases in the Overworld or other portals in The Nether. Despite this, the introduction of rocket-powered elytra flight, combined with the complexity of building a balloon compared to a station meant they became less popular as time went on and hot-air balloons did not return into service for the succeeding [[Survival Railway Network (Survival 2)\|Survival 2 network]].

	The design of SRN stations has been referred to "iconic" by a number of Dogcraft.net players through the years. A number of features first implemented in the stations of the original network have stuck, such as the hanging of SRN-brand banners, the presence of amenities such as maps and utility stations as well as the terminal design, which has remained relatively identical aside in principle, aside from the addition of Shulker box loading on Survival 2.

For instance, [[Mesa Station (Survival 1)|Mesa Station]] was comprised of red sandstone blocks rather than plain stone bricks.
The design itself is centered on a 23x7 raised platform, accessible via stairways. On opposite ends of the platform would be minecart terminals that could collect and summon Minecarts for passengers to use. Freestanding columns would support an arched roof, upon which banners would be hung displaying the station's name. All stations would also be equipped with utility stations, including an [[minecraft:Ender Chest|ender chest]], publicly usable chest and crafting table.
Later, stations would be fitted with hot-air-balloons or other access portals to allow connection to the [[Nether Transport Network]] system.
