Dawn Donkey Ride: Preston to Blackpool by TSW Pacer

“Good morning, Cornerites. On behalf of Tally-Ho Corner Tours I’d like to welcome you aboard this chilly (Get the heater on, Roman!) bus-based Train Sim World diesel multiple unit. Very shortly, assuming ‘nodding donkey’ number 142033 plays beach ball, we will be making our way to Blackpool via the more southerly/interesting of the resort’s two rail links.

Why not pack it in and go play something more entertaining?” I can nod and reach for the Escape key.
