Lancashire Triangle Electrification

RE: Lancashire Triangle Electrification
July 2014 will see a line closure at Huyton for the re-instatement of the third track to give access to the Wigan Line. At the same time Huyton Signal Box will close and its functions transferred to the new Manchester Rail Operations Centre at Ashburys. With the later re-instatement of the fourth track this will make it possible for freight trains to be passed.

More paths will be needed for freight anyway with the possible re-opening of Seaforth Container Terminal in connection with the Liverpool2 port extension. Rumours are that if this happens Garston CT will close.
