Northern Lines Electric


​The Preston - Blackpool North line runs from the Main station of Preston situated on the West Coast Mainline, to the ever popular summer holiday resort of Blackpool. The route has been lovingly re-created by Thomas Harrison and this Electric version features all of the changes following Electrification of the line from Preston. This version of the route installs in addition to original Northern Lines and won't overwrite the original route,which is still available as usual.

Requirements

The full list of requirements is at the bottom of the page,and in the linked manual

Along the route:

Preston

Preston located in the county of Lancashire but also the junction for the Blackpool North line to separate from the West Coast Mainline. The station has been recreated to the best of our ability without actually having custom assets built. ​

Salwick

This is the next station along the line heading towards Blackpool,it is a custom asset built by Callum Green to suit the real life location,which sees a limited service throughout the day. The signalbox has been removed during the OHLE works.

Kirkham & Wesham

Kirkham & Wesham is the next substantial station along the route, this area has been remoddeled considerably since the days of the original Northern Lines route,it is where the line from Blackpool South Converges,though it isn't included with this route.

Poulton-Le-Fylde

Poulton-le-Fylde is the next station,again specially made from the ground up by Callum Green. This is where the former line to Burn Naze and Fleetwood diverges,though it has now been disconnected. A preservation trust is currently renovating part of the closed line.

In between Poulton & Blackpool is the small station of Layton this is only around a mile from Blackpool North.

Blackpool North

Blackpool North is the Western terminus of the route. Featuring a large station,carriage sidings and fueling point. It also features views of the iconic Blackpool Tower. The station itself features a number of custom objects,including platforms by Callum. Sadly the semaphore signals are long gone,along with their signalboxes. ​
