Based on the station which serves the market town of Poulton-le-Fylde, located on the Fylde coast, this new exhibition layout aims to provide both modelling ability as well as operational interest. Situated on the busy Blackpool North to Preston line, the station managed by Northern Rail, sees regular services from Manchester Piccadilly, York and Liverpool Lime street.
