That has long gone.

Although there is only a 4 minute turnaround the workings are still timed for 75mph, so there is oppurtunity to make up time between Wigan and Euxton. Also the 319's reach line speed between Wigan and Huyton much quicker enabling a few minutes to be clawed back.

Late running in the past has seen the Lime St to South Parkway bit being cancelled.
