The main part of The Train Job, a quest in Fallout London from the Vagabonds, is to stop the train belonging to the Isle of Dogs Syndicate. Here, we explain how to get to the Access Bunker and Poplar Station, how to access the terminal for stopping the train, and what consequences an important choice has - redirecting or sabotaging the train.
Terminal in Access Bunker
As a reminder, The Train Job is a quest you can receive from Winston after you decide to join the Vagabonds faction (Welcome to the Vagabonds quest). Your destination is Poplar Station in Millwall - you have already visited this district while searching for Yvette. You need to go even further north (find a passage over the river).
Reach the entrance to the Access Bunker shown in the picture - you will enter the Docklands Light Railway.
Use the train cart and then press the Security Door button. Robo-Margot mini-boss will stand in your way - you have to defeat it. We have described this in detail on the How to defeat Robo-Margot? page.
After winning the fight, find the Poplar DLR Station Terminal in the place where the robot was.
Interact with the terminal. You don't have to hack it - you can use the Emergency Stop Override command.
You will stop the train belonging to the Isle of Dogs Syndicate.
Reaching the stopped train
Take the stairs to the upper floor. There are 2 elevators here and we recommend taking the left one. After you reach the top, you avoid hanging traps that could alert enemies. Remove the chain to gain access to the platform with the stopped train.
On the platform you will encounter 3 enemies from the Isle of Dogs Syndicate. You can attack them by surprise - the Spy Pistol with a silencer received from Winston earlier will come in handy. One of the gangsters is clearly stronger - it's Syndicate Grunt. If you plan to start a fight, shoot at him from a distance or sneak up and perform a strong stealth attack.
Important choice - destroy or redirect the train
You have two options to complete the task:
- By destroying the train you follow Sebastian's will, but Winston will not like this decision. You must enter the carriage and find the place where the bomb was planted shown in the picture. This variant will also allow you to complete the mission without having to kill all the enemies. You must then escape from the explosion site.
- Train redirection suits Winston, but Sebastian will be angry with you. You need to reach the conductor's cabin and interact with Monorail Controls. You will arrive at Canning Town Station. You will meet your friends from Vagabonds there - they got rid of the Isle of Dogs Syndicate goons inside the station, but watch out for more enemies after you go outside. You can fight them or escape quickly.
