RE: Liverpool Lime Street to get an overhaul
Visited Lime Street MainLine today took train to Huyton and back to have a nosey at what's been going on. Northern are using platform 1&2 at present, the middle line has been removed between platforms 1&2 with new signals in place. Platform 2 is accessed by a new point at the top of platform 1. Lots of work ongoing in the tunnel approach, A ballast train was stationed in the tunnels. Platforms 4 at Huyton and Roby in use for the St Helens Central / Wigan and Preston services. A couple of pics on Flickr for you to show changes.

Nobody seems to have told whoever timed the pendolino.s diverted via Earlestown tomorrow - at least this time they aren't going via Manchester when Crewe-Winwick is available.
