No masts are up yet on Stage 2, west of Earlestown. However a lot of masts are up between Huyton and Ince Moss, which is Stage 3. It is assumed that the opportunity to erect these was taken during the recent line closure of the line between St Helens and Springs Branch.
Also being electrified is the Bamfurlong Curve which will be useful for diversions if the line between Huyton and Newton-le-Willows is blocked.

Where is the Bamfurlong Curve?

Wigan Springs Branch/Ince Moss area. Runs between the line from St Helens Central and the West Coast Main Line heading south.
