Down Under Update - April Fools British Railway 2026 clip

Description
This is a short clip from the British Railway Down Under update which only lasted a day or so. It showcases some rather bizarre things:
1. Leaton, one of the main stations in BR has been renamed to Freggz, based on Greggs
2. Home menu, train selection, controls (not the throttle or brake thankfully!), and passengers were all upside down as part of the update.
3. There was music playing outside Freggz (Leaton) station.
I’m glad the update is now over as it was getting annoying in the end, but it was exciting to see what the BR developers had planned for us this April fools 2026 some of which was kinda funny to be honest!
Hope you all enjoy the short clip of some of the things during the update.
