This is an extensive railway centred on Preston, extending in a north-westerley direction to Blackpool, in a south-westerley direction to Southport, and including sections of the West Coast Main Line around Preston.

In this simulation users can pit their wits with trains arriving and departing Preston. Lines also included are the single line working to Blackpool South. I have also included the Southport area where trains can be sent either to Preston, Blackpool or Burscough Sidings where you are free to add the lines in beyond Burscough Sidings if you wish.
