what are the leaf blasting diagrams for the southport line

Early hours.

Passes Liverpool Central HL towards Hunts Cross at 0600(ish), so probably leaves Southport about 05:15. Usually reverses rather than take the avoider.

If you get the first Liverpool-Kirkby, you often see it being held just outside Bank Hall to allow the Kirkby to pass.

I'll get a WTT time tomorrow.

RE: Merseyrail
Nine 507s on the Southport Line today, with just one 508 making an appearance. 508130 was on the Ormskirk line and I would say this is one of the better 508s, far superior to 114. 507001 was one of the 507s on the Southport Line and probably one of if not the best train on the network.

Services on the Wirral Lines New brighton line started early by approx 1 hour , however services were subject to delay due to problems between Hamilton Sq and James Street. Problem resolved .

Northern line services are also meeting with delay due to train that has failed coming out of Kirkdale CS.
Edit : Services to resume 0832
Three trains cancelled , one to Hunts Cross , one to southport and one to ormskirk.

RE: Merseyrail
i wonder what it must feel like to see somebody on the line

which nights does all the night engineering take place on the southport line from hall road onwards to liverpool?

RE: Merseyrail
I kid you not! Driver reported passing over a person on the river bed section.

Not sure what happened after, as it didn't take long for the service to recover.
