Two of the network's popular rail lines, the [[Eastern Corridor]] and the [[Western Corridor]], is connected by the [[Corridor Exchange Terminal]], Lomercoyne's primary inter-city station and rail hub. Like suburban railways, trains depart and arrive at several terminals around the network, connecting Chalcish towns and cities. The [[Peninsular Corridor]] connects the city to the states of [[Porgynth]] and [[Ester]] in the east. Meanwhile, a [[Chatten Tube|tunnel]] crossing the [[Sunderland Strait]] connects the high-speed rail lines of [[Carr Fein]] and the Gwynaed Corridor, forming the Chattenian part of the Chalcish Railways. | |||
Plans for an underground rail tunnel crossing the [[Elvenmann Strait]] surfaced after the [[Callyssian Union]] preliminary meetings concluded in 2015. The tunnel, which was planned to be 69 km in length, would originate from [[Sart Maquer]] in [[Terk]] and terminate at [[Nurenseige]] at [[Muringia]], [[Helswig]]. The megaproject is estimated to have cost ₽556 billion in total, 2% larger than the budget of the [[Ministry of Transportation|Ministry of Public Works and Infrastructure]] in 2020.

Lomercoyne, formally the City of Lomercoyne, nicknamed the "Octavia of the Cymon River" and popularly known as Lommy, is the capital city and a federal district located in the Federal Capital District of Chatten and Leucen. The city is conveniently located between the federal states of Paworys and South-west Leucen. Situated on the River Cymon, the longest river in Great Chalcain, its access to the Crowergynn Sea through Cymon makes it a continuously inhabited settlement for 2,500 years. Its ancient core, commonly called the Lomerynum, was originally the approximate location of an indigenous city inhabited by a Proto-chalcerean tribe known as the Leucyn. It serves as the historic and contemporary capital of the country, from the period of Tridetarchy when it serves as the capital of Leucen, during the rule of the Moravs when it became the administrative center of Moravian Leucenia, and through-out medieval and contemporary history. Serving as the home of the government and the Parliament for a millennia, the city bears the status as the political, financial, cultural, and technological center of the Northern Kingdom. In the 19th century, Lomercoyne grew rapidly during the Turembelian, Nethanian, and Crowberwynnian eras, quickly recovering from the disastrous Constitutional Revolution of 1801. It plays a significant role on the rise of liberalism during the Century of Revolutions and the 1935 July Revolution. Briefly becoming the largest city on Callys during the 19th century, its expansion led to the absorption of surrounding counties such as Sharram, Tremmen, and Cywun. By 1975, the city gains a total of 33 communisalles, necessitating the formation of a federal district. Both the federal district and the administrative region is governed by the Greater Lomercoyne Development Authority.
As one of the world's global cities, Lomercoyne exerts enormous influence in world's art, commerce, transport, science, media, finance, education, healthcare, entertainment, fashion, technology, tourism, and communications. As a member of the Callyssian Network of Capital Cities, Lomercoyne is among one of Callys' economically powerful cities and one of the world's financial centres, with the earliest stock exchange established in Lomercoyne in 1511. It hosts Callys' largest concentration of higher educational institutions, some of which are the highest-ranked educational institutions in the world: Crowberwynn University of Institute and Technology for STEM studies, Lomercoyne School of Economics for business and economics, Metropolitan University for fine arts, literature, and philosophy, and the comprehensive University of Lomercoyne, one of the oldest universities in the world. It has the world's second busiest airport and is home to the world's oldest rapid-transit system.
Lomercoyne's urban culture encompasses many languages.

Toponomy
The name "Lomercoyne" was derived from an ancient settlement known as Loumorcynn, home of the proto-chalcerean tribe called Leucyn, which was approximated to be located in Lomerynum, Lomercoyne's historical core district. An ancient name, the name was derived from an largely unknown, extinct language: Proto-Chalcish, the origin of all Chalcish languages. Modern scientific analyses of the name concludes that a derivation of the name is present through-out all of the contemporary Chalcish languages: Lomourcun in Rwycorrish, Llumucaine in Porgynthian, Lomocynn in Terkovish, and Luumurcoin in Chattish. Attempts on linguistic construction of the name's origin led to the Proto-Chalcish word Loumerjound or something similar. The name then evolved into Loumercoyne with the borrowing of the consonant -y from the Vauns, and the vowel -i from the Terks. By the time the Moravs arrived on the Chalcish Isles, the modern word that is Lomercoyne was already widely used.

Transportation
Transport is one of the main policies administered by the Mayor of Lomercoyne and the City Council of Lomercoyne, though their administrative powers only extends to within the borders of the Federal Capital District. The Mayor and the City Council assembles within Lomercoyne City Hall with the members of the Greater Lomercoyne Development Authority, which is mostly experts and professionals on several fields such as health, transportation, education, politics, urban planning and others. Major transportation lines such as Lomercoyne Downlines, Lomercoyne Uplines, Lomercoyne Carousel, Grand Tramways, Roster Aviation and Cymon Ferries are administered by the Transportation for Lomercoyne (TFL), itself an agency of the Ministry of Transportation, which started by 1967.
After the end of the Second World War, several transport cooperatives and organizations banded together to form the Lomercoyne Passenger Transport Board. In 1967, increasing demand for public transportation coinciding with the ongoing pedestrianisation allowed the Ministry of Transportation to establish an administrative agency called Transportation for Lomercoyne. The next year, Lomercoyne Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board was established by the Greater Lomercoyne Development Authority to regulate vehicle ownership and authenticity and detect colorum vehicles. TFL is represented in the City Council by a commissioner, which, together with the board, is appointed by the Mayor of Lomercoyne.
Aviation
Aviation in Lomercoyne is administered by the Roster Aviation. Lomercoyne is the primary hub for long-haul routes crossing through Septentriones Ocean, majority arriving from the Federal States, making it one of the world's busiest city airspaces. There are a total of ten airports serving Lomercoyne, but most in-bound airlines only passes through seven of those. The rest are used for general aviation and emergency purposes.
The airports of Lomercoyne are divided into civilian airports, which handle most of the metro's annual passengers, and military airports, which is exclusively used by the Royal Air Force.
- Locus-Ardynn International Airport in a panhandle area near the border of the city in southern Tremmen, was once the busiest airport in modern history until it was surpassed by Rookesrow International Airport of Avrecenia, Federal States. It is the major hub for international traffic and is currently the home of the Northern Kingdom's flag carrier, the Chalcish Airways.
- Hargenydd Airport is located in Ribbing, the closest airport to the downtown Lomercoyne, and is also the first airport to be constructed in the city, which was operating since 1899. Once the primary airport for the city, it still remains as the largest NK airport in terms of flight schedules and is the main hub of a low-cost airline called AirCallys. The airport is set to be demolished by 2027 due to security reasons and its proximity to Horessen Palace.
- Lomercoyne Curwynnad Airport, located in Cywun to the south, handles continental flights and long-haul routes. The main hub of AxianAir, the largest airline in terms of annual passengers, is located here.
- Lomercoyne Strasheidd Airport known for its short runways and exclusive access, is the major airport for business and luxurious travellers, with both full-service short and long-haul flights; and private jets using the airport as their gateway to the city. Because of considerable air traffic in other airports, the airport is located in the Howrynn near the metro's eastern border.
- Klauber Airport, to the north of the metro in the federal state of Paworys, is the only airport not located within the boundaries of Lomercoyne. 95% of incoming passengers comes from international flights. It is a developing airport with a growing number of airlines stationed within.
- Merwick Jonwynn Airport to the south-east of Lomercoyne in Sykotos is used by several budget airlines for short-haul flights.
- Nethania Airport to the eastern border of Eydersynn is a royal property exclusively for use by the members of the royal family. The annual cost of the airport is paid directly by the Crown.
Rail
Underground railways
Opened in 1845, the Lomercoyne Downlines is considered the world's first rapid transit system, running through Norys Sojo, Sharram, and Sojo. It is referred to as The Underground by the locals and The Downlines by figures of authority. It is the second longest rail system in Callys. The system serves 280 train stations, which was constructed by the initiative of Nethany III & I and her husband, Calbrough; and several private and public companies. In 1860, the first electric rail line, the Red Line, was built by Rogare & Hesse.
The railway system was built as part of Calborough's grand plans for the Kingdom, known politically as Calboroughisation. The Downlines was intended to connect several of his constructed museums and theaters; and city landmarks, such as the Museum Complex, Reiro's Monument, and University of Lomercoyne. During the Grand Exhibit of 1865, 2.1 million used the service, mostly between the stations of Jark Syde and University. Between 1865 and 1685, an astounding 67 million used the service, a huge increase from 44 million on 1860. A huge investment package worth ₽6.5 billion was spent on replacing old rail lines and introducing high-tech rail gauges and carriers in a pledge to reduce congestion and improve reliability, months before the first season of Callyssian Grand Prix in 2012.
In 1889, the first underground rail line traversing a river was built, called the Yellow Line. It connects the northern half of the city to the southern half, crossing through the historical Lomerynum borough.
Suburban
There are 360 railway stations covered under the Lomercoyne Citycard System where payments through Citycard is available. Lomercoyne south of River Cymon has the huge concentration of overhead railways. Most lines terminate at the Lomerynum. The Inner Lomercoyne terminals, a series of terminals located within the Old City and inside C-1, primarily serves the downtown center. The CymonLink, a rail line running parallel to the river Cymon that runs east to west, was built in 1989 and currently serves passengers going to the central part of the city. The VertiLink also serves the same purpose, instead running from north to south.
In 1896, standard-gauge railways makes its first appearance by the construction of the Inner Lomercoyne Terminals, near the outskirts of the city. Thus, the Lomercoyne Uplines was established. Between 1900 and 1910, several rail lines connecting Lomerynum (Old City) and outer borough was created. The DiagonaLink, originating from Manor Cumberwynster and runs diagonal through the city, ending in Orocer, was opened in 1903, the first electric rail line in the city. New rail lines usually terminate near the border of Lomerynum, as the city itself as a whole was designated as a car-free, pedestrian district. The Indigo Line and the Cyan Line connects Lomerynum to the airports of Locus-Ardynn and Kalubert, which handles mostly international passengers. Lomercoyne has the most busiest train station--Duchywyn, with over 199 million passengers using the station and the interchange complex, known as the Central Interchange, that also includes Horessen and Duchwyn West.
In 2020, the Homerails, a planned series of railways connecting the Capital counties was inaugurated on 20 February, with plans to connect several airports into the network to decongest the complicated, huge, and busy Lomercoyne Railways.
Inter-city and international
Lomercoyne is the center of the Chalcish Rail Network, with 77% of rail routes either terminating or starting at Lomercoyne. The recently constructed high-rail line of Gwyndaen Corridor, the longest rail line in the Northern Kingdom, begins in Malwenydd in Terk, crossing through Lomercoyne, and terminating at the city of Lech. Two of the network's popular rail lines, the Eastern Corridor and the Western Corridor, is connected by the Corridor Exchange Terminal, Lomercoyne's primary inter-city station and rail hub. Like suburban railways, trains depart and arrive at several terminals around the network, connecting Chalcish towns and cities. The Peninsular Corridor connects the city to the states of Porgynth and Ester in the east. Meanwhile, a tunnel crossing the Sunderland Strait connects the high-speed rail lines of Carr Fein and the Gwynaed Corridor, forming the Chattenian part of the Chalcish Railways.
Plans for an underground rail tunnel crossing the Elvenmann Strait surfaced after the Callyssian Union preliminary meetings concluded in 2015. The tunnel, which was planned to be 69 km in length, would originate from Sart Maquer in Terk and terminate at Nurenseige at Muringia, Helswig. The megaproject is estimated to have cost ₽556 billion in total, 2% larger than the budget of the Ministry of Public Works and Infrastructure in 2020. The tunnel is set to exponentially increase trade between the two by establishing trade connections using other forms of transportations, such as trains and roads.
