Trains resume again tomorrow at South Parkway mainline

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.

Here's the new live signalling diagram with the new layout.

Does anyone know how long platform 8 will be out of use at Lime Street station?

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.

Here's the new live signal diagram from Lime Street.
