Lancashire Triangle Electrification
Electrification for the Lancashire Triangle has been under way for some time with Castlefields to Ordsall Lane complete and energised. A lot of work is complete between Kenyon Junction and Newton-le-Willows whilst work is proceeding over Chat Moss.
At the Merseyside end the work has been concentrated on the overbridges.
Plans have now been released for the railway in the Huyton Junction/Roby areas. The plan with electrification is to put a third line in making an island platform at each station, and providing access which includes re-opening the old subways and installing lifts. A fourth platform is likely under Northern Hub proposals.
