Yeah basically the routes set upto the 2010ish point so modern era just before some of the areas got reworked a little and some buildings dissapeared
When i get to that area im sure i could ask for a few images ;).
Dont know when ill make it upto burley area ive not been able to touch the route for a week or so to much coursework to be getting on with for tram driving school

Sorry the screenshot updates have been distantly gapped but i have been doing some more work over the past 2 days bringing blackpool to life a bit more with new
buildings springing up:

A view from the station, in the not to far distance you can see laytons highrise flats

Looking back towards the town

Image
Nearing the east side of blackpool sidings we see a new housing estate and the highrise flats shadowing down

Some more progress shots for blackpool the whole station is now becoming dwarfed by buildings which is good to see
not moved any further down the line but just outwards which mean it is coming together this town now.

Looking great, Tom. Really nice use of light objects and the glowing fluorescent lamps. Reminds me, seeing those 37s, I saw 2 DRS 57's (I think) at either end of a DVT + 2xMk3 set in Norwich this afternoon, followed by a DRS 47 at York tonight. :)

It sounds like it will be- Blackpool South-Colne (Via Preston/Blackburn), Blackpool North-Preston and Preston/Leyland
Carnforth would require a run up to Lancaster first, and it's not mentioned. We're still going to have quite a decent run on the lines mentioned above remember! :)
