Over the next few weeks we will increase the frequency to Headbolt Lane up to every 15 mins during the day

I may well enable my first ride on a 777 be to or from Headbolt Lane, although probably not until next year now.
In the December timetable trains Merseyrail trains depart from Headbolt Lane only one minute after the arrival - one hopes from the other platform!
;
Even so a margin of one minute is hardly going to be conducive to punctuality - unless late inwards trans are to be held at Fazakerley to allow punctual departures?

Probably will require the use of both platforms

They are basically in the paths of the former Kirkby services.
By doing it this way, the occupation of Liverpool Central is kept to a minimum- the Ormskirk services occupy the Reversing siding there.
You’re probably right in saying late services will have to be held at Fazakerley, but with a 16 min turnaround at Headbolt Lane, the return train should have a right time departure

They will occupy alternate platforms
3 more 777s are arriving at Kirkdale this week (2 on Wednesday and 1 on Thursday night)
Merseyrail have announced that the service to Headbolt Lane will increase to every 30 minutes from 18 October.
