Facing "Cannibal Candy"[]

The train that had departed from London bound for Liverpool that Raishin and Yaya had boarded passed through Edge Hill station on without a hint of stopping as its brakes had failed. Raishin and Yaya then made their way to the top of the carriage and, avoiding the multiple bridges on the station approach, swiftly ran to the front of the train. Yaya launched from its nose, landing a considerable distance in front of it which then crashed on her, but she remained unharmed and completely halted it, but some carriages and the locomotive derailed. Raishin and Yaya then left Lime Street and made their way to the Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart.

Trivia[]
- Lime Street's name was only mentioned at the beginning of the anime and not at the beginning of the light novel and of the manga. It was only mentioned later on in volume 11 of the light novel.
- In real life, Lime Street has the famous British Rail Double Arrow emblem positioned in the centre of the exposed train shed glass gable. This was not included, possibly due to British Rail not existing when this series is set.
