Changelog 09/06/2026 -
~ The scenario was dated for February 2019, this was semi-fictional as no service ran 1N62 to Blackpool North, the scenario date has been updated to accurately reflect its service.
~ As such, the AI has been reworked to reflect the era it is set in (September 2017).
~ The scenario has now been split into two parts to now include the service between Manchester Piccadilly and Preston.
~ Additionally, Part 2 has moved from the Electric Northern Lines to the Pre-electrified version.
~ Part 2 scenario now uses the updated AP Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack.
~ The thumbnail and readme have been updated to reflect these changes.
