The Delivery Go Round, stopped at School District 7's South Station
The Delivery Go Round (デリバリーゴーラウンド Deribarīgōraundo?) is a shopping train operating in Academy City.[1][2][3][4][5]
Principles[]
The Delivery Go Round is an 18-car commercial train that functions like a shopping center. Apparently classified as a larger version of a mobile sales truck, it was supposedly copied from an older izakaya train that did business travelling between stations.[1] The train cars have two floors for more space,[1] with metal spiral staircases between the two levels.[3][5] Customers have to buy tickets to get through the station gate and onto the platform in order to access the train.[1]
The 6th and 7th cars house the fresh foods section, with aisles at the sides of the car and the rest of the area divided into booths.[1] The cashiers wear bullet train attendant uniforms.[1] There is a supermarket lottery, with a number and barcode ticket at the bottom of purchase receipts for one go, involving a box with a round hole in the top for participants to stick their hand in and put out a random paper slip.[2] Luxury rice and beef are on the prize list (with caviar being given as a "special prize" in at least one case, perhaps to buy silence), and there is apparently a "for couples" prize box.[2]
The second floor of the 8th car houses a childcare center with a play area and plastic jungle gym (including fake bamboo poles).[3][5] There is a metal box on the car wall, at hip height, which holds a bags containing an AED and first aid kit, including disinfectant and a handheld sewing machine for stitching wounds, with text and picture instructions.[5] The second floor of the 9th car houses a chain café.[2][3] The smallest and cheapest tea option is apparently Darjeeling in a paper cup with a lid.[2] There are apparently paper towels soaked with ethanol.[2] The train also houses a boutique and accessory shop, a pet shop,[1] a restaurant and a spa.[4]

On December 29th, at around 5PM, the Delivery Go Round was stopped at the general-use platform in School District 7's South Station. Due to his financial and food problems, coupled with the appearance of Alice Anotherbible, Kamijou Touma decided to visit the Delivery Go Round in order to purchase food,[1] with mixed fortune and misfortune.[1][2]
Just before 5:20PM, passengers and staff evacuated the train after receiving a break alert, warning them about an imminent head-on collision with the prison transport train Overhunting.[2] Shortly afterwards, the Overhunting crashed into the Delivery Go Round at full speed, crushing the first car, rapidly sending impact shockwaves down the train to the last car and wrecking the train's interior, and bending several of the in-between cars upwards.[2][3][4][5] Touma was onboard the emptied train at the time, having handed Alice to Shirai Kuroko to teleport away at the last second, and was catapulted from the café in the 9th car into the play area in the 8th car, sustaining injuries (severe outside of the effects of Live Adventures in Wonderland and requiring immediate first aid with a nearby kit) and wrecked shopping before exiting the train.[3][5]
