    Just curious: running up and down the line with the clumsy Class 101, I noticed how stations look dilapidated. Is it historically accurate? Some of them seem almost abandoned. I know England was in a bad economic situation back in those days, especially that part of the country...

    Miles Platting outside of Manchester was in the process of being closed. The route was generally in transition like most if the network in 1983.

    Yes, it is fairly accurate, and it's not that Britian was "in a bad economic situation", investment in the railways was funnelled into roadbuilding and a lot of other things also "went south", meaning that the entire rail system almost went bust. If it wasn't for privatisation, cheap DMUs and local groups making sure lines were preserved and even upgraded the system we have now wouldn't be anywhere near what it is

    It's likely the mainlines would have survived but much of the rural systems either were lost or were close to being lost

    Thanks, good to know that Italy's Ferrovie Nord Milano wasn't the worst one back in the '80s and early '90s ;)

    After watching videos and looking at pictures from the 80s on google and YouTube, dovetail did a great job, the route is very accurate. I would love more historical routes.
