    Just trains should update blackpool services
    From north I know just from south the route goes from pleasure beach to Preston but north goes to Manchester Piccadilly, Leeds ect![​IMG]

    I'd really appreciate this as a suggestion
    Another suggestion is players should be able to drive anywhere on Blackpool routes not just set routes and AI's do rest!

    The Blackpool route is set in the 1980s I believe.

    It would essentially require a large rebuild to bring the route to modern era, and that’s before you consider development of new stock

    It doesn’t need updating to the modern day. That would take away a good amount of what makes it one of the very best routes in TSW. Tons of other more modern content to play in the game. Blackpool can remain in the glorious days of Pacers and blue locomotives.

    'Updating' the route to modern would ruin it. Take it to Victoria, but keep it set in '86.

    Update isn’t the word, a modern version requires its own separate route and stock.

    Definitely not against the same routes in multiple different era’s (track, stock and scenery wise), in fact im very for that but there is other focuses what need to be balanced towards other route areas aswell.

    They couldn’t have set it one year later (1987) and included pleasure beach station.
