Thanks for re-opening the thread. I didn't realise I hadn't posted in here for so long.

Some more images, focusing on the new TS2015 weather.

After not posting progress on here since September, I decided it was time to post again. It feels like I'm getting to the end of the line with this one and hope to have it wrapped up soon.

This is looking fantastic, I'm always excited when I see people working on lines which are local to me!

Would you consider maybe extending this to Bolton in the future? I'd love to be able to drive through my local station (Westhoughton) and I think the approach to Bolton would look great in TS! :)

I couldn't really say about an extension to Bolton. Not sure what I plan to do when this is finished.

Instantly recognisable, been looking forward to this route for a long time, great work :)

Preston/Blackpool and the WCML to Manchester Victoria would be a superb and interesting route of which the Euxton Junction - Man Vic section is changing fast as the on going electrification of the line moves apace. As a project it could be released in the three sections. I wish I had the ability to build it myself!

Looking forward to some more screenshots :D

Quality work
For disclosure, I am affiliated with a third party developer however, I do not know anything about any future releases unless I'm working on them and even then, I'd be breaking years worth of built up trust to say anything about it ;-)

Really looking forward to this route. Done the Wigan-Southport journey in real life as I have a friend who lives in Southport so it will be fun to drive the route in TS2015.

Merry Christmas all.

I am happy to say, I am releasing the Wigan-Southport Line.

Remember to read the manual for requirements etc and don't drink and drive smile emoticon
I look forward to both positive and negative feedback.
